What kinds of questions you have? If you're going to build to race within a certain class, read the rules first. Then, read them again. Build within those rules.
In general, here's the order that I'd recommed doing stuff.
- safety (different things depending on if it's still a street car or a racecar)
- tires (something dedicated for the track, as it'll chew your regular street tires up in a few laps)
- brakes
- suspension
- race tires (if you don't already have them)
- weight lightening
- mild power (intake, exhaust)
- aero
- more weight lightening
- more power (cam, etc.)
