Answer 2

Sportsman Class drag racing is the least expensive form of auto racing to get into.  Most any street legal car can be brought to the track for open track racing.  Safety equipment is minimal.  A current rated helmet and a basic safety inspection of your car is performed before they will let you on the track.  You need 2 return springs on your throttle and your battery must be secure.  Hub caps must be removed from your tires and no fluid leaks are allowed.  It should cost you less than $50 for a day at the track after you purchase or borrow a helmet.

Check out the schedule for your local track and get a copy of the track rules.  

Answer 3

Well depending on your age you should start karting, just to get the feel of what it is like to race a reasonably fast vehicle with other people.

Then its a case of looking at clubs and circuits seeing what races and championships they offer and trying to buy the right vehicle necessary for it, or trying to get involved with a racing team :)

Answer 4

find a good manager and many sponsors

Answer 5

fepowered has it right

If I had to add something, know your machine inside and out. If you are starting at the bottom with little money you need to be a good mechanic/engine builder/chassis guy etc...
