Pre 66 Viable?

Hi all

Would just like to get a feel for the realities of competing in pre 66 touring cars. I currently run in a modern championship but would love to get involved in this (sideways seems best ), however, Ive heard mixed reports on what it takes....do I need to be a multi millionaire (appreciate it would help).

Falcons/mustangs appeal most, with the cost seeming to be £40 to £80k ish for existing cars (or £40k ish in bits plus labour for a new build)...which is ok...however, have heard some horror stories about running costs and what it takes to be competitive. This is a VERY early stage query where I am just trying to work out whether its even worth considering? Ive been to one of the races and had a few chats but it would be good to get an independent view point?

Also, the 70s touring cars seem to be on the rise, will people migrate to this in the near future....is there a danger that pre66 will decline etc?

Apologies if any of this utterly naive!

Best

Alex
