Probably the least expensive way to start is in SCCA racing. Get your license, and hit the track. If you're good, you can work your way up.

Expense? If you have to ask, you're in the wrong sport. You can take an ordinary street car to the track, as a cheap start. But to make it competitive will take thousands of dollars in modifications.The more developed the car gets, the less streetable it will become. So eventually you will need a truck and trailer. You'll need a couple of sets of track tires every year. And a great set of tools. And a garage where you can do serious work 12 months a year. And a job that allows you weeks on the road during the summer. Don't forget gear: you'll need a helmet, suit, gloves, and shoes. If your daily driver is track-worthy, figure five grand a year as a starting point for any real effort, and the costs will grow quickly as you move into higher competitive ranks.

How long does standard shipping take to be delivered to your home?

A real pro car will be a six figure investment, I would guess the cheapest car you'll see on a Nascar track reflects half a million in time and money. And an Indy car or F1 would be four times that cost. So you will have to become good enough to attract some serious sponsors.

So I bought a compass for my car, and it won't work.?

Rather than starting as a driver, why not start in the pits? Contact a few pro teams and try to do pit service for a few races this summer. That will give you a good idea of what's involved, and they may even throw you a few bucks (or maybe free lunch) for your efforts. If you can't do that, then contact your local tracks, and ask if they'll let you be a flag man. At least that will put you on the track, and you can wander around the pits between races and pick up ideas.

Problem with Adjustable Seat in Car??

first question..no, you don't need professional training but you do have to learn to race, car set up, engine work etc
second...experience and exposure...drive the car and market yourself
