Default Track car advice.........

Just been having a chat with a mate, hes car has failed his MOT and its gonna be broken or scrapped.
The car is a carlton GSi 3.0 24v, i know its a big donkey of a car, but do you reckon once its stripped out etc it will be good enough to throw around the track? it is lowered and has a custom backbox etc if that helps.

advice?
