Steve,
You'll (we'll) be fine. Racing is like any other hobby. You'll find the majority of people to be good honest people. I haven't done this in over 20 years. I truly don't expect the racing part to be that much different. Just like my boss tells me at work, "you're just putting in bolts and torquing them down, how hard is this"? What's drag racing, do a burnout, stage the car and wait for the lites to come down, leave hard on the last yellow, how hard can this be, LOL! Trust me, I'm not as naive about this as I sound.
I expect to take my beatings on the track. As for my car(s), there are bound to be problems and hassles that I can't even imagine just yet. With my 66 Nova, the bracket car, as long as it tracks straight and I can get it to be consistant, I'll be happy. The crate motor Firebird, if that car just smells the index, early on, I'll be pleased. There are going to be so many areas to improve that car, it will be scarey.
