That's great advice, PL I hear you loud and clear in the tires department! Yes, as well to going a less expensive route for starting out.

As usual, I'm going to chime in and recommend karting as the single best way to learn to drive at the limit period. It's cheap, and there are plenty of decent schools. I just did the Jim Hall school a few months ago. You might just get hooked too

I was in karting races back when I was about 7 years old in the 70's. Those were the days. Nowadays you probably need 20 permission slips.
Recently I participated at an EVO school at a Raceway Park here in NJ and stoped to watch the "figure eight" karting race. These guys were going about 120mph in full race gear at 98F and probably loving every minute of it. I definitely see one of those easy karts in my future when I move to a warmer climate.

Hi,

Agreed, Karting is the Breeding Ground of many of today's Top Racers in Cart, Indy, F1 and other Racing Leagues.

Virtually every Lap Record, at nearly every Track in the World, is held by a Kart.

Also, there is no Restraint System in a Kart - a pretty fair incentive to Get it Right the first time...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
