the comments about buying a pit pass and just observing is the best answer. Also, once you decide what you want to do, I would spend a season working on some one's pit crew. You can learn about the car, the track, and everything else in the pits and not have to spend all of your money doing it. When you do this, it will also give you an instant friend the next year when you pull in with your own car.

If I were a young man, I would definitely look into a Micro (600). I have seen full grown men over 6 feet tall climb out of a micro. They put on a great show. They tend to have tracks built just for them which makes it even better. Finally, you are going to see all kind of trailers at a 600 track. You are going to see the open trailers with the Micro on the back all the way to the a hot shot rig with a 40 foot trailer. When I first went to the pits, I was completely blown away with all of the money people had in their trailers for a micro sprint.
