How do you get into car racing?

Question

I wanna race and I wanna know how to get my self out their i'm 16 though so their would probably be aproblem age wise

Answer 1

Kids as young as 8 can race go karts.  Go karts is a fantastic way to get into racing.  Some of them go up to 50 or 60 mph.  Look online to find your local track, and they probably have a racing series.  But it does cost a lot of money to get into competitive racing though.  Good luck!

Answer 2

You can start by racing go karts then go to modifieds then to legends but it does cost alot of money but it is a fun sport

Answer 3

you can race most series except cup at 16. you need to decide if you want to run open wheel or fenders. if your goal is formula 1 or irl, start with go carts

if you want to end up in stocks, start with legends cars. you can purchase a ready to race car for about 12 thousand, plus the cost of your license and safety equip. they are easy to maintain and fairly cheap to fix.

the quickest way to make a small fortune in car racing is to start with a big one. it is very expensive and very hard to find the sponsorship. we race on the west coast, 3 steps down from cup, and it cost  5 to 8 thousand per race, and that's if we don't break or bend anything.

good luck to you

to the line to the gas to the green

Answer 4

Unless you have rich farther,or a source of income you will find it hard.

Having raced a lot of things and still do all self funded.I started in Karts. Go along to your local Kart club watch some races , then talk to the racers in the class you fancy.

Then join the club buy a kart and off you go.

If you want to jump right in to cars, again go a long to a local meeting of what you want to race and talk to the racers, they will advise , sell you a car even , but do your home work first, take lap times of cars and-drivers watch how they drive the complete track,And most important who's winning and why ask there fellow competitors why some one is so much quicker. Read any book you can find about driving quick, diet health and fitness are all important . Even FAT drag racers would go quicker if they were fit.

Answer 5

.

Start in karts, if you don't do well within 3-4 seasons (assuming you have no previous experience), leave karts and do something else.

Unless, of course, you're a high-roller and can throw money away, or just keep karting as a hobby with no aspirations other than an adrenalin buzz...
