my roommate just got back from AUTO X nationals with 1st place in class for the second time in his career (different cars too) and 3rd overall. he was also TT3 NASA time trials national champion last year. he holds nasa lap records at many tracks in the region. i cant drive but ive been in the scene for many years. read rule books first, then spend money on having a reliable machine and getting track time, then slowly build and improve. you dont want to be one of those dudes who cant drive their car even close to its potential haha.
