I'm not sure if anyone here has raced a Fox on an oval, but it wouldn't surprise me if it goes on in Brazil (birthplace of the Fox, in case you don't know). Here's something that should get you started:

That seems to be all that the Brazilians do. Depends on what you want out of it, who you will race. In the oval track, I believe you will have issues. Stock the Fox is less HP than most, unless you are racing against Foxes. And any modification classes will really put you at a deficit. I'm being serious here. The Brazilians have an all Gol/Voyage class, and that keeps everything tight. I think i would invest in a Neon then, I know they had a Neon class a while back.
Anyway, forget it. Sell me the 93 for $500. Please. As a road course car, it is great. As a regular have fun car, I love it. The wife will be drag racing it in April, it looks like, w/ 170K on it. Why? Because she always has wanted too. Will she win any races? If a Yugo lines up against us, maybe. Will we have fun, even if the motor lets go? Definitely. And that will make the new motor an no brainer, because the car is so fun, and motors are cheap.

The more I listen to you folks talk about racing the foxes, the more I am glad mine is in the shape it is in, or I would be at the shop every weekend doing something to it.
The way it looks now, I am going to have to go out and buy not a second, but a third! That way I can have my perfect daily driver, and still be able to do my diesel wagon and a hotrod. (like i am actually going to find another wagon here in the south!) I keep looking at this 8v GLI that I have, between it's motor (high output 1.8l), it's rear swing axle complete with disc brakes, get a slightly modded digifox intake, another audi 4k tranny, I think I could make an awesome little hotrod! (especially if I put it all in a little fox coupe) ick! i'm feeling sick already

Don't worry that sick feeling will go away but it's replaced with everyone else thinking that you're sick
