So, you want to know how to get into car racing.  Racing can be great for building real world skills handling a car, as well as fun to get out and run your car hard a few times a month.

First, with SCCA Solo (Autocross) there are classes where you are able to run your daily driver.  Another alternative is to look for a purpose built car, something within your budget.  In the Ozark Mountain Region there are several Mazda Miatas for sale between $2000-$3000 that would make great entry level cars.

Check out the Ozark Mountain Region SCCA Solo Novice Guide.

Make contact with your racing region through email or their website, where you are sure to find helpful individuals who will provide information on races, car classing, and other rules so you are ready to enter the world of motorsports.

After your first experiences of learning how things operate, you can then begin to dial-in your car for the kind of racing and make it more competitive.  The general rule of autocross is that 75% of your success will be due to seat time, 20% of your success will be due to having the right tires and suspension, with the remaining 5% being the car itself.

As your driving skills progress, there are other opportunities to advance into, such as HDPE or SCCA Club Racing.

Make contact, get your car to a course, and start the journey.  When you are ready to start making modifications to your car and need a custom Miata cage or Dyno services, Contact SpringfieldDyno.
