Rookie,

Its a great class to get your feet wet in. I had no real racing experience as of January. Fast forward to now, and I had won two features and led points all year (up until my dad beat me haha).

They are easy to get the hang of, and everyone there is extremely helpful in answering questions, helping out, and getting you going. As far as spending a year in the pits- I wouldn't waste your time.... These cars are extremely easy to maintain, learn, and race, just go for it. I would recommend an electronic fuel injection motor such as the MWR Ecotec platform built by Mike Wallace of MWR Technology. Its what I as well as 3 others ran all year.

Payouts are extremely good- Typically $300 to win, $175 to 2nd, $150 to 3rd, and so on. I don't THINK you will walk away without atleast $100 back in your pocket. Like I said, I usually walked away with more than I spent to run that weekend.... Sometimes the purse jumped up to $400 as well.
