Soo..You want to become a racer?? Trackday vs Racing
Great article I just read on getting into racing... I'll probably do a lot of track days and some riding schools in 2010 and hope to do some club racing in 2011, but we'll see....

Either way...Great article to read!!

I have high hopes for next year as well. Got my first taste this year, hopefully the time and money factors will come together much better next season.

Hey Dubguy, if racing doesn't work out for you, I could be your surrogate racer. I mean, you just cover tires, fuel, entry fees, and I won't even charge you for my time!
