Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That sounds pretty amazing. Is it an expensive thing to get into?

Sort of. You really need a team, 3 or 5 people. Takes a year to get a car and make it ready. Needs a roll cage. Someone needs to weld or be rich, lol. Tools, fuel. Lodging and transport. 5 grand last time we budgeted but we only raced once, so discount my advice that much.

But go on their forum, lurk, and consider volunteering on a team! That would be the best way.

Racing meaning the whole schtick, prep, build, transport, driving! pits, it's unbelievable fun. Do it!

I'm going to at least go to a track nearby and watch people do this and maybe talk to them and see if anything clicks for me.

Make sure you check out LeMons racing, which is pretty different from others.
