so if everybody is getting new cars, what happens to their old cars. do they sell em?turn them into show cars? i'll take forsberg's z anyday, any car for that matter.

[Octagon]

Well, if we apply the standard racing model. One of three things will happen to the cars.

#1 - team car: A second driver will be hired or will pay (depending on sponsorship dollars) to drive the older car either full time or at selected events.

#2 - sold: Simple as that, the car will be sold to another competitor or someone who has entirely different plans for it.

#3 - gutted: Anything and everything that can be used on the new car or is of particular value to the team will be taken out of the old car and the hulk will be either put in storage (in short track racing, this is usually a field behind the shed), scrapped, or sold.
