Sprint car racing... How does one get back in?
Hey guys, I have posted on here before but I'm just going to get to the point. I have been trying for years to get back in Sprint car racing. The racing I love more than anything on earth. I totally understand how racing has changed, its pretty much pay to play now. A rich guy buys a car, puts himself or his kid in it. When I started driving there were several teams you could drive for and this was a relatively small area in the Southwest! What happened???
I have tried putting a Sprint car together but I just don't have the budget I need to do it. Please keep in mind I don’t have a budget “NO MONEY”.
I raced 360s and 410s back in the southwest, built my own stuff. My dad was well known in the 70s and 80s as a chassis builder, but that was then and people cant relate to me, my knowledge and what I have to offer. My career was cut short as my multi-million dollar car owner pulled the plug and kept all my stuff. Thinking I could easily get back in, I opened a business and focused on that, then a few years later, trying to return seemed pretty much impossible. I have a state of the art car designed up in CAD and have the CNCs ready (I run a CNC shop).
I can be a "crew chief" for a season if need be, then talk driving the following year or so. I have a wealth of knowledge in driving and set-ups. (besides my dad, I learned from a lot of heavy hitters).
I'm willing to work with a person, but I'm tired of being out the sport I love so much. Please help a fellow racer out, we can at least talk or heck maybe I can even get invited to a race, wouldn't that be nice...3024018441
P.S. I'm located in Metro Detroit, lets talk!
