Figure out what class you want to race in. Then figure out what class your actually going to be competitive in with your skill level. If your always coming in last then you will get frustrated and quit. You don't have to to win to have a good time, but you cant continually loose either. Finishing mid pack will keep you on the hook forever.

I appreciate all the advice.

Figure out what race class you can afford to be in. Figure cheap racing is $1000/weekend (per the other thread).

Easy answer: probably none. At least not for a few years.

If you're always coming in last, you need to either a) practice a lot more; or b) spend a lot more money on the car.

Correlary: If you want to be at the pointy end of the pack you need to a) practice a lot more; and b) spend a lot more money on the car.
