To you racers out there: How do you get into the sport? Any advice? | ||

Go to your local track or look up there web address and most of them have all the information you need to know about how to get started in there rule books. Also check to see when your next track day is at your local track. There are always racers at those and you can always talk to them there. My advice would be to go to a track day and putt around and see if it is something you would be interested in doing. Thats what I did and now I'm addicted.. I can't seem to remember what I did with my life before I started racing????? Hope this helps Brad | ||

Rain proposed for the opening weekend(starts today) My Buell is not finished due to lack of funds and no $$ Sponsor for 05...yet It will be ready for MAY, and I will be racing Thunderbike. |
