Advice for new guy getting started

Good luck.

However, there is a LOT of good advice here and I think your exuberance is (naturally) blinding you:

"Don't start a project just because you have the car." -Billy Nees

And, go to the track several times and learn, learn, learn! I'm paraphrasing, I can't find the exact post(s).

Respectfully, your naivete' is glaring. But that will be with anything we have to learn. Even more reason to learn, learn, learn!

When I raced, I did it with a friend who had been doing it for years. I learned a lot before we partnered, because I went to the track with him. I learned a LOT more when I jumped in. By the way, I had bracket raced a lot before this. Stock Eliminator is an expensive way to learn how to race.

Oh, the biggest reason I stopped? I wanted to be able to retire on more than just Social Security. I had to be honest with myself about my financial future.
