If a youngster was wanting to get into racing what advice would you give them? Start off small because the sport can be fun but you dont want to get in over your head. Also dont limit yourself on what you would like to drive. Open up your boundries and drive anything that comes your way. Any seat time you can get will help you. And never forget to be having fun
