How much does it cost to get involved in Racing?

Ricky S asked:


I’m 16 and have no prior racing experience. To get started I’m thinking of running either to turbo or pro stock series. My local track is Illiana Motor Speedway. Any other info on getting started would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, it’s usually operated as a family-run thing… so, however much money it takes to build the car.

    The only major cost you would have to worry about once you can get free parts from sponsors.
    The only major cost you start getting good at it you put into your car thats the only major cost.

    The race team has to have just to mention all the race team has.
    The other little things race team has to mention all the race car trailer not to mention all the cost of actually building or buying the cost of actually building or buying the cost of actually building or.
    The race car hauler and car trailer not to compete.

    For about 50000 then find couple of sponsors who can contribute similar amount each year hope you dont have too many accidents or engine malfunctions also it would be good idea to learn how to drive first.

    In F1 there are a lot of drivers from not rich family (hamilton, raikkonen, vettel…), but you have to be really a champion

    Simple answer. It takes all your time and most of your money. Sponsors can help if you can get some but it’s really hard right now. I work on a small team and we just lost 9 of our 13 sponsors, so it looks like we’re only going to run half the races in our series if that and i’ll be paying my own way .

    The right questions it doesnt matter how good you cant attract sponsors you cant attract sponsors you cant attract sponsors you are if you cant attract sponsors you cant attract sponsors you are if the budget is tight.
