Hey all! I have messed around with go-carts a little as a kid, but that was a LONG time ago, and I only ran a few times for one summer. So being older, probably not any wiser, and with a little bit of extra income, I have been kicking around the idea of getting into racing. I have been visiting tracks all season and this drug has been injected in my veins! I am leaning more so towards dirt. My question is this...what classes/types of racing are going easier for essentially a beginner to get started in? I have had a guy offering to sell me a 2020 360 roller with wing for $1200....but I feel that a 360 would be WAY too much money and WAY too high of a learning curve for a beginner. I am thinking more like a 1000cc mini sprint and race with the MMSA. Are there any other cars/series that would have just as many, if not more, races for someone my build (5'10"/220) that might be cheaper? Also, how can I get some seat time once I have a car? A time dedicated that people can practice? What tracks, if any, might have such a thing? I would love to volunteer on someone's team if they are open to it! Any HELPFUL advice would be greatly appreciated!
