>>13829412

Do you have a million dollars? Good because you're gonna need 3 million dollars if you're going to be spending 5 million dollars racing in a league that costs 10 million dollars a season to run in.
>tldr driver skill literally doesn't matter for shit until you end up in a racing league where everyone's using the exact same car. Which almost doesn't exist. As long as you don't crash, and you have daddy's chequebook on your side for the best equipment, you're set.
>>13829412
What kind of racing op?
Also what country?
>>13829619
Maximum salt. Don't you have a CRX to be fixing or some shit?
>>13829412
Start dressing like one. Participate in driving shoe threads. Buy a motorcycle helmet. Build paper machete roll cage. Oh, and stickers. Lots of stickers. Set up race car driver facebook account. When ever people are comparing street cars, go way the fuck off subject and start talking about how street cars are shit because lolracecar.

TFW see a fully decal covered car atleast once a week. I lovevseeing rave car daily drivers, makes me smile.
>>13829628
What a weird attempt at an insult
>>13829420
>Speed was believed to be a factor in the crash, Hawthorne Police Department Officer Wilbert Pereira said.
no shit
>>13829412
Years of practice and a very fat chequebook. Or a belief that driving in a straight line for a quarter of a mile is racing and a slightly less fat chequebook.
>>13829619
You can buy a used spec miata car for 13k and then with 7k use the rest for certification at skip barbers racing school and your safety gear, etc.
You really are autistic notamiata. I'm not kidding.
>>13829412
A few options.
1. Be a manlet, don't be fat, and get good at go kart racing.
2. Don't be fat and get good at motocross racing.
3. Have money, don't be fat, and get good at another form of racing.
>>13830705
Drag racing is still racing regardless of your arbitrary definitions
>>13829412
buy a BZR like all real racecar drivers
Motocross is the only motorsport left that you can become pro in with nothing but skill, but you literally have to start at age 5.
the rest take daddies money and nothing else.
>>13829420
Probably an Indian dude thinking his Odyssey is a race car.
You just hang around the pits for a few days in a tracksuit and a guy that looks like a cross between clint Eastwood and Bob Newhart says "hey you've got a lotta potential kid, why don't ya come and race for me?" And then you do.
And that's exactly how it happens.
The people who say dad bought them a go kart when they were 4 and second mortgage on the house etc - all bullshit.

>>13830750
hmm im good at riding my scooter like a racer. i hit my local round about apex at 50mph
>>13830735
>>13830819
yis i love miatas although for some reason most car insurances dont cover track day insurance so do i get race car insurance
>>13830735
Soo you teleport your Miata to the track? And The tires are made out of unobtanium, it runs on hopes and dreams, and stops using pixie dust?
I don't know the rules for the series you mentioned, but I'm sure if someone can modify their car even slightly, they could do with carbon panels, ohlins coilovers, lighter seats, brembos, camber plates, lightweight driveshaft/flywheel, lightweight wheels, fresh engine rebuild with an expensive intake and custom exhaust.
There's more in forgetting, but my point is that unless the racing series hands you a car to race with (which is stupid expensive) then there will always be an advantage by spending more money.
There's one guy that always kills me racing in his s2000 at time attack, and he places in the top 10 (out of 60-70 people) in the street class. We went go karting with 30 other preople, all in the same karts, I came first and he didn't even make the top half of the pack. (The timing was done Over 3 sessions, each session we'd switch karts). He constantly locked the rear wheels, spun out a bunch of times, his lines were shit, and he had no idea how to use the momentum of the kart. Instead he was trying to drive as if he could compensate with extra power, like he has when racing in time attack. That's when i decided for sure that money buys positions in racing.
>>13831181
or your cars are all steaming piles of shit?
>>13830870
It's boring and shit
>>13829645
>driving shoe threads
is this really a thing
1. Build or buy a car capable of track use and all of the safety equipment you will need (not your DD)
2. Attend as many Open Track Days as possible
3. Attend race license school for a SCCA or other org
4. Spend a fortune on equipment and making your car fit in a class.
5. Race
6. Learn from failure and keep trying harder
I have a full blog about going from a clapped out chassis to race car and from shitty driver to winning
>>13831279
pls show me your blog btw is that your car? i was thinking about geting either a miata or a 240sx and just lower it a bit add a swaybar and the nessesary safety requirements to start off with. how much is a suit intotal like $1-2K

Bitter F1 fan?
I always recommend go karts. Low startup cost, cheap to run so you can hit the track every weekend, faster than any sports car south of six figures, and spec classes with big fields full of incredibly stiff competition to race in.
>>13831964
wait you run wat dam thats cool
>>13831972
i rammed it like in need for speed
>>13831978
motor trend alright will do
>>13832221
hmm true i can even go cart around the neghborhood (aslong as there is no cops that is) they cost arround 2k used right
>>13832241
Depends on what class you want to race in and how competitive you want it to be. My first kart was $3k used, it was a bit of a beater but I managed to get up to the mid-pack with it after I got gud. My nice shifter was $6.5k used, I was able to win a championship with it.
Nice thing about karts is you can just buy a hitch for your daily driver and tiny cheapo open trailer from Lowes or something when getting started, no need to get a truck right away. Maintenance is really simple too since they're basically 2-stroke racing motorcycles with four wheels.
i have a nissan frontier maybe i can put it in the back how much do they weigh like 180lbs

Goes so goddamn fast
