I can tell you how I got started. I went to the pit side of the track during race night. Wandered around talked to a few people, made some friends. Offered to volunteer to help out as a pit crew. Found one taker, helped him for a year with everything, during the race, off nights working on car, you name it. We became good friends. Anyway at the end of the year we have a play day, He let me drive, coolest thing ever. The following year I was able to build my own car, started out in hobby stock. Learned alot just helping out and being in the pits. Give it a try, you don't know till you ask. Good luck
