I think a 1g dsm could last. We all know the engines are stout, and a lot of people here know how to make a reliable, sound DSM even with little $.

If i can make a turbo honda with toothpick rods last 18 hours on a track... a dsm can do it

And yes, DSMs are totally in the right price range. mlomker, I think you have it nailed, its good to have a variety of skills on a team. You shouldn't all be just good mechanics, or just good drivers. It even helps to have 1 person who is just anal and super detail oriented to take care of all the logistical stuff and recording times, etc. Everyone should have a specific job/set of responsibilities.
