Do you currently attend any local short track racing anywhere now? If not, my recomendation to you would be to start; soon. Racing is a large investment of your time and money. You want to be sure it's something that your really going to enjoy.

I see that your interested in "breaking into the scene as a driver." Well unfortunately you and about a million others have the same idea. Realistically, you'll be breaking into the scence as a car owner, driver, crew cheif, car washer, ect...No one is offering rides these days unless you have something to bring to the table, i.e. tons of experience, motors, crew, weekely maintenance on the car ect...Sorry if this sounds a little negative but its the god honest truth...

My suggestion to you is this...start attending local racing events, talk to as many people as possible in an attempt to expand your knowledge...there are many teams out there looking for help at the track and in the garage during the week, try and hook up w/someone who needs a hand...the knowledge you gain by working on a car with experienced people is priceless, and trust me 9 out of 10 teams are looking for help, so don't be embarassed...do this before making a decision on whether or not this is really for you or not...at least by helping someone else you'll be learning and someone else's expense, and if you decide you don't like it it's of no finnancial loss to you...just remember if you decide to pursue circle track racing you will be forever broke and be unalbe to party like you used to in those days before racing owned you...
