Don't confuse DE and instructing with actually racing. Call me an elitest racer or whatever but there's a big difference between wheel to wheel racing and going around in a circle over and over again to try and learn the line or teach it to someone else. Once you learn the line you need to move on to actually going as fast as possible off it (aka racing). Either do that or get out altogether after a few years IMO.
P.S. - Building a car is a much bigger money pit than buying. You don't want to know what I paid for my car but you can go racing for $10k plus $5k/year.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
