Ok, little more sober now...lets try a list.

1) sell s14, buy s13, daily drive s13 while building for ITA, right before that last step making the s13 not streetable, buy a tow vehicle to become the daily driver, finish the s13, get trailer, start racing.
Will be hard to build the car since it could never be down for more than a weekend since it's daily driven. Tho will give me a fun car to drive around town and the fun of building the car myself. Tho much more expansive than buying prebuilt.

2) sell s14, buy tow vehicle now as daily driver, save up for an s13, build the s13 for ITA, get trailer, start racing.
Daily driven tow vehicle won't be good on gas, but would allow me to work on the s13 without worrying about having it up and running for work on monday.

3) same as 2 but buy prebuilt ITA s13.
Lower cost over all but more money all at once. Not quite as fun as building my own, tho a few thousand dollars cheaper may be worth it.

4) sell s14, but old sentra or civic as a beater, buy s13, build for ITA, then buy tow vehicle and trailer.
This would give me 3 vehicles to insure and maintain but would save money on gas driving to work every day.

5) same as 4 but buy prebuilt ITA s13.
Same + and - of buying verses building as in #3. Would save money on gas like #4 but would have the highest all at once costs, having to buy a trailer, tow vehicle, and s13 pretty much at the same time to be able to get racing.

6) any other ideas you can come up with to acheive the same thing as the above.

There.
I know only a couple other people here are looking to race w2w and of course 1 who already does...but I figure I'd post and try to get some suggestions from everybody.
Right now I'm leaning towards #3.
