find an existing racer that could use a hand, and go to a weekend with them. you'll learn a lot that way.

Whatever do you mean? Aren't you going to have it together by RA or do you have another bike for sale?

start with a lot of money....and keep it coming. dont ever expect much, if any, of a return on your investment. just keep the creditcard handy and fresh tires on whatever bike you get =)

LOL!

In between #2 and #3 take a couple of weekends to cornerwork. You will get to know the people who make racing happen, learn what goes on behind the scenes, and how the flags and CW stations work. Even go with several different race orgs to see how each does things and which you would prefer to trust you life with (you will probably pick WERA).

Skip step 8 if you can. The leg humping can get quite annoying.
Move in with CB186's folks instead. It works for him.
