Car Racing Sports

So you want to race your car? That’s good, but you need some information before you jump in. There are many things to consider from what type of car, what kind of tracks, what your budget is, etc.. The most important things to start with is what your budget is. Both the initial budget to buy / build a car, and secondly your continued annual budget. Once you’ve determined your budget, you must decide what type of racing you want to do. There are several major racing organizations around the United States, with the SCCA and NASA are two of the biggest. There is also racing groups around particular tent, as the BMW CCA Club Racing, Porsche Club Racing, etc. Finally, there are many regional groups and the Midwest Council Sports Car Club.

In each of these organizations, they all have a GCR (general competition rules), which is what you need to read cover to cover before you do anything. That is where most people go the wrong way. They decide that they want to compete, go and buy a car of their liking, buy a bunch of go fast goodies, bolt them, and they contact the racing organizations. They show up, ready to compete, and then discover that they can’not much because the car is full of non-permitted changes. In GCR, first you need the class that you want to run in. They all usually have different classes of a stock (or equity-like), to fully Mod (heavily modified) cars. This rule will also increase expenditures.
