greetings from south of the state line here in the pathic land of lincon.
ckeck out some autocross event near you and get to now some people and then a cheap way to race is start with autocross, offer to help tow a car to an event or pay for gas and co-drive with someone there. thats what i have done a few times at events. thats how i got to drive a couple of miatas that way.
my drift/autocross toy is sitting waiting for a job to get money to finish it up to try at least one event before the end of the year...sigh....
