27. Started doing DEs and autocross in 2010. Have entered a few beater races since. Occasionally, I'll get a loaner and do some rallycross, too.

The usual "I'm bored and should go mess around at the track" beast is this :


Current project being made into a LeMons/Chump/everything I can enter it in car:

I'm in the younger group. I'm 25 Started doing Autox at 18 in a Miata. Then moved on to DE once I got the Carrera and have been "addicted" ever since.

21. Started Kart-racing when I was 6 years old, then driving cars on back-roads when I was 10 and drive on tracks in cars since I'm 15. First time in a GT3 Cup was at 16 years.

why doesnt your son have on a full fire suit and hans...have you learned nothing from the safety threads....all gear whenever racing....



33 here started when i was 19 i think with alot of DE's in my old VW gti vr6...got my 911 6 years ago..just started racing 4 years ago i think it was

and here i feel old when i see the drivers on tv being considered old at 26....oh if i had started racing as a kid, had a huge trust fund, and could retire at 18, own a race shop, and an jet...how different things would be....

He just ask to have my old helmet, I didn't know why. So it was a Friday night and he was playing by himself and asked me to come play with him. So I went to join him and he was wearing the helmet, visor down. Went back to take the iPad to take a photo of him, that was too funny!!!

He does left foot braking naturally and when driving a slow FWD car at Daytona, I have a hard time beating his lap times... He knows how to counter steer by himself... He's only 6, but it looks promising.

Too bad I don't have a trust fund to help him out!!!

Bought my first Pcar, 08 Cayman, and immediately did my first DE 4 1/2 years ago. Since then bought another 09 Cayman, 08 GT2 and 05 996 Cup. And there's no end in sight

So Eddie talked you into it just so he would have somebody to run against in da Stinker. Looking forward to seeing it at Winterfest.
