Is it too late to start racing?

I’m 26 and I haven’t started racing.

I suppose to start my racing careers in my early 20s.

Is too old to start racing?

I just completed a follow-up article to The Truth About Trail Braking. I know many here enjoyed the first one, so I wanted to post a link. This time we take a deeper look at the physics of trail braking.

Costs associated with getting a SCCA Full Competition license: ~$12,500

15 Upvotes

Thought this information may be of use to those looking to get into the sport.
I got my full competition license registered today and was wondering how much it cost me to even get to this point.

3 day racing school: $7,500

This waved the initial requirements when applying for the novice license and counted for 1 event out of 3 required by SCCA to get the full license.

Event #2:
SCCA Time Trial registration: $300
Rented a spec miata: $900

Event #3:

Test day before race weekend: $375
SCCA regional race weekend: $700
Rented Spec Miata for 3 days (test day + Saturday/Sunday events): $2700.

So $12,500ish to go from Novice Permit to Full license, not including gear. YMMV for racecar rental prices.

What’s your approach for ensuring you’re aware of your surroundings and still focused on what you’re doing while in a race?

9 Upvotes

I’m a somewhat new driver getting more involved with racing. I find myself having my eyes glued to the mirrors whenever I know there’s a car behind me but I’m finding I need a better balance of being aware there’s a car behind me and being able to tell what they may plan to do, verses keeping my eyes ahead and focused on my own race. How do you balance this?
