It's pretty clear he's a retard.
But it's still kind of amusing to mess with him.
Randy Pobst is...well, he's middle aged.
I personally don't want to autocross for 20 years before I can get into road racing, hence why I plan on karting...eventually.

It makes my head hurt to try and figure out what the hell you're saying. Seriously, if you want advice and help, learn to read, write and speak properly first. If people are struggling to understand then they'll just dismiss you as some dumbass and move on without passing on any advice or help.
The first rule in racing is that it costs way more than you think. Make a reasonable budget then double it, at least. That'll help cover all those unexpected things, like when you blow up a transmission, rear end, to cover food and lodging, and so on.
I want to race, but I know that I'm not willing to go the route needed to be a pro, so I'm getting my education so I can have agood paying job to finance my own racing activities.

Well, if you are going to present yourself to sponsors spelling like that you can pretty much write them off. Nobody wants to support someone who can't spell better than someone who just mashes their head into a keyboard.

Also, racing school and racing school run races are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the MAX.
A 3-day race weekend from Barber is like $3-4 on top of the $3.5K they charge for you to attend their licensing schools.

SCHIFF MAD QUIK YO!!!!!
My 12 and 14 Year olds on a bad day, half asleep can mumble clearer than this troll.
On the other hand. (Trying not to scream, and provide a drop of constructive information icase you have a ounce of braincells)
If you are interested in what it costs. Check this place:
http://www.iscracing.net/2_rental.htm
That is a nice clear, easy to read and understand list of what it takes to RENT a ride in the Florida area. (Yes I know you are not near here)
And understand. Drifting will give you a modicum of car control. If you become REALLY good at it. Not just better than your friends. I mean full on D1 winning good. THEN you may want to consider road racing.
Drifting isnt about going fast. Its about looking good for the judges. So is Ballet.
Karts. Roadracing. Both will teach you some things.
If you do a school like Bondurant or Barber.. you will learn things.
Also.
If you type your posts like a adult. And not a kid on a TV commercial about texting thier 733t FriendZ YO. People may take you more seriously.
No company worth a dime would consider sponsoring someone who doesnt care to speak properly. It doesnt reflect well on the company. Even if they are Rockstar. They may be all tatted up but they know what it takes to make a buck with the big sponsors in front of the camera.

Your grammar is just terrible.
Remember, that when you have a sponsor, you're their representative 100% of the time, so you must always be conducting yourself in a manner that reflects that, or they'll dump you. Same thing goes for when you're trying to attract sponsors.

Dude, you are nothing more than a kid, who must have seen some sweet racing on T.V. and decided that was your choosen career path. You are more excited to get into racing, that you don't even seem to care what form of racing you get involved in, drifting, road race, karting, autox, ect. That is not passion... Racing is not just about getting in the car and driving the fastest. Personally, I have to train everyday of the week, put in several hours in the gym, watch what I eat, ect. Provided, I am sure that the training routines change from different forms of racing, you have to put in several off track hours a week too. Also, this is 2008, not 1960. Now I loved Dale E just as much as anyone, but being the red neck who grew up with nothing doesn't sell the product anymore.
My advice to you, is to grow up, get/try to get your G.E.D, examine your life, find something you are good at, and invest your time in that.
I am 19 too, and have grown up with nothing as well, but this is my dream, and I found a way. Best of luck to you dude, but give up racing, unless you can be content with recreational racing...

Perhaps now that english is the assumed language for this thread, I'll chime in.
It's a simple situation in professional racing. Generally speaking, sponsors are either rich racing enthusiasts who spend lots of money to get *themselves* in the driver seat, or they are entities of a corporate nature who have something else to sell and expect to earn more than they spend by marketing in the racing field.
The first kind is the most realistic situation, not because you'll convince them to let you drive, but because, slim as the chance is, you're still more likely to make a whole lot of money another way and have some to spend on racing. But if you're young and trying to make it, you won't build much wealth if you spend all your free time and money on racing. Catch 22.
So if you see someone who is a sponsor, consider 1) how many new customers they would reach by sponsoring you 2) how *you* are the right person to reach them, and 3) how much it's worth to them vs. what you'll cost. All of those things have to work out for them to even consider spending a dollar in your direction. Of course, for 2) to mean anything, you have to be winning. Consistently, at all levels. There are a handful in each class going up the ladder who simply due to their immense talent, are getting sponsored even though the corporate return on investment would be way down the road. Being 19 already makes this a very tough sell unless you somehow manage to make up ground and go beyond the future superstars who started as young as this <- guy. (the fictional kid in the commercial, not me).
So the short story is, work hard in school, get a good profitable job with flexible hours, kart like hell, and if you have the right combination of talent and luck, you may have a chance to get to the next step up. But you need seat time, lots of it, and nobody's going to come along and hand it to you until you're a proven champion. Buy a few lottery tickets along the way, because statistically that's probably better luck than climbing the ladder.

If you are carrying the American flag on your back, you can forget about Formula 1. RedBull gave it a shot, and it did not work as well as they planned. And Scott killed in karts, and everything else he raced on his way to the top. I have an incredible amount of respect for him, but the fact is, there is a better chance of Osama Bin Laden being president of the United States, than an american breakthrough F1 superstar...
