Big *****, No Fear, and a lot of $$$$$

Also when your talking racing the tuning is so in depth that a 1/4lb air pressure can throw your suspension off... every 1/10 sec. counts!

agreed, just head to the track and practice...

then if you have enough money to build a competitive car, race it and win with your l33t skills. Then get sponsored by home depot and the rest is history.

I'm pretty good behind the wheel, but I do my best work in the bedroom.

sometimes i wish i had a video camera. i still can remember that night down this really tight twisty road i cruise on. some honda thought he was gonna beat me. well he was crossing the lanes and running a line while i just stayed in my lane right behind him, no problem. sure its easier to run a line but, im not stupid enough to do that on a road such as this because corners are blind and if you have oncomming traffic, your screwed.

Not true, there are a lot of guys who own dirt rally tracks and everyone is free to race their. All you have to pay for is a helmet and the 30$ entry fee.
