Hey Brian,
Good post with a great deal of thought and suggestions. I second the recreational rental racer. I would love to see THAT come to fruition. Why the track owners haven’t done it is beyond my comprehension. Maybe I’m missing something but it’s a no brainer! I think there would be at least 5 entries!
My path is similar. I’d gone to driving schools and had fun doing it. Golf was competitive but not “gladiator” competitive enough and i (was) a good golfer till I started this sport. I met a guy at the gym in a Ferrari hat and a karting Tshirt and we talked. Then I rented twice at IMI and met the gym guy there. Make a long story shorter, Sam Walls was instrumental in getting me started and God knows I asked him and others plenty of questions. This crowd is truly a bunch of good eggs!
Hope to see you out there. Ask away and I’ll be more than happy to help you. I call it payback to something I truly enjoy doing when I’m not working! :cheers:
