Wow. Any special type of race cars? Or, come one, come all?

In addition to road racing, I have long harbored an interest in fuel economy

Yet another instance of the convergence of the two interests in one person. I don't know what your take is on it, but I used to be very excited about getting on the track when I could, and I found switching to the fuel-efficiency focus was just another flavour of the same thing: expanding the abilities of driver & vehicle. Just as challenging. Easier to do on public roads. Much less expensive
Now efficiency is all I do, car wise. Although some of the skills are transferrable (like choosing the right line through a curve & clipping the apex to save momentum
).

I've done a few mods to it as well and get up to 70 mpg on long trips.
