Well, there are always Solo2 events throughout the spring/summer. The next one here in Reno is Oct 1st and 2nd. I believe Reno-Fernley has grudge match drag racing on a regular basis, but since that's not my thing, I'm out of the loop on how it works or when they're held.
Also, if you want some track time, check out
www.unlimitedlaps.com and
www.trackmasters-racing.com, both good organizations for getting on track for cheap!
Finally... you're gonna kill a '98 Teg pretty much anywhere unless he's got some serious work done to it.
