Hi Shane
Boy that is all up to you, you might feel uneasy with your head out in the air at 100mph plus and would want a closed car'
Also depends on your building skills for making parts from scratch, the roadster class's are full of cars and i have always liked the Tanks
A GMC tank would be pretty neat too and you could build it so you are inside, it is all a personal choice
That is what is so neat about racing on the salt and the dirt , as there is just about a class for what you like for a racing machine
Some people really like the build process and some just buy a ride, that is up to you my boy
Have fun along the way, and enjoy each day as that is what it is all about
Don
