I know this isn't quite the right sight to be posting this on but I figure you guys either know a little bit about it or know where to point me in the right direction. I'm 15, turning 16 in April. When I get my license I want to start racing at my local dirt track. I am wondering what model to start looking for.

Their lowest class are 4 Cylinder Stock Cars. The car can't have a wheel base larger than 102 inches, and must be 10 years old or older. The car has to be OEM stock (what does this mean?. The car also can't have more than 140hp and 140 toruque.

The only three things I care about are:

1) Must be a Chevy
2) Must be rear wheel drive
3) Preferbly a manual trany (this doesn't  matter to much.)

So anyone have any suggestions?

If you want rear drive, start looking for a Vega/Monza/Chevette.

OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer, which just means you can't have aftermarket parts.

Any of the Cars Phill suggested would work, although I would head down to the track to see what the other guys are using.
