Nah, go to the vintage races or some of the GT classes where they run mostly stock cars. Best place to see AMCs run is Road Atlanta. Team AMX (http://www.classicone.com/teamamx/index.htm). There is also a guy who runs a Spirit in ITA class (mostly stock) there... Ed Forrest? Okay, I know the Forrest is right! I've helped him advice wise getting his Spirit competitive. It's a middle of the pack car last I heard. To heavy to be in the top five, but the torque coming out of the curve makes it a car to watch anyway. Middle of the pack is probably the most fun place to be anyway!
