I mean I'd love to get into motorsports but I don't have the garage space for another car, I don't want to buy a truck to haul it around, I don't want to spend years learning how to work on cars, I don't want to spend money buying new drift tires constantly, and I don't want to cause noise pollution in town
I wish there were a few more places that were like "drive a couple hours into the country, drop a few hundred bucks, and go nuts on a dirt track for an hour or two"
it does not take years to learn how to do most things on cars, especially if you choose an older car. garage and truck are also not a requirement unless your race car is no longer street legal. I’m a novice and have managed to replace all the coolant lines and do some not half bad paint work on my car (90s Acura). Drifting does burn tires, but also doesn’t require your tires be in good shape (they’re gonna get shredded, and the goal isn’t to set the fastest time). Time attack and drag racing are where it gets really expensive, but there are cheap options like auto-cross: https://www.scca.com/pages/what-is-autocross.
