    EDIT: for those that picked "dont know where to start/ signup" PM me
    because auto x/ track days isn't real racing= not worth it.

    Motorcycle racing. Where everyone grids up, they wave the green, and you bump elbows going into turn 1. That's racing. But i was just being mean, i'd like to do a track day in a car if i had something fast/ the money.

    Um.....Ok, bit of a waste of a comment there. You cant really compare bike racing to car racing but whatever.

    Besides, touring car racing will prove you very wrong. I'll be watching WTCC from Estoril on Eurosport Tomarrow

    PDX... Performance, Driving eXperience. its a SCCA trackday. Also look for events at little talladega. They are around $175 for a FULL day. You will run out of tires before the end...

    And car racing isn't real racing bumping doors into turn one after being gridded?

    I do stuff as much as money allows, but also do things that offer more of a career path racing wise.

    MONEY!! or lack there of, lol. No matter what, whether it is for entry fees, gas, tires, breaking parts, not having another daily, taking off work, etc. This is harder for some people who have familes, full time jobs, and or going to college, etc. However whenever I have spare money, tracktime is high on the list of things too do
