Jimbo,
thank you so much for all the info. i have thought about the kart thing but just not sure if it is where i want to start off at. I figure if i am going to spend the money then i am going to go where i really want to be. more than likely i will start off in hot/street stock or limited mods. i dont want to start out and go straight to the front. it would be nice but unless i can get a few sponsors, i will be running from middle to the back. but that is ok with me. eventually i will make my way to the front. i am not throwing your advice out the window by any means. i would go 4 cyl but to me its just not fast enough for me. like i said i havebeen around racing since i was three. my dad built a couple of tracks and worked as a board man on another. now i worked on a couple of modifieds crews at a local track during high school but i was so envovled in my sports then that i didnt get to learn near what i wanted to. and since i have been in the military i havent had the chance to get to the near as often as i wanted to either. but thats all fixing to change. so again thank you for all your information and opinions. it is very much appreciated.
