Start your own underground shitbox racing ring.

Shitbox racing.

Maybe motocross or something too. Dirtbikes are like $2500 brand new.

It's the cheapest multi-car racing you'll do in a car and not a kart. If you don't need to rub the other driver's nutsack as you pass them at 45mph in your shitbox, do autox.

Karting is by far the cheapest. The most expensive part is the chassis and it can last well over 10 years. Assuming you have a way to store and transport it the next expensive stuff is all your safety gear. Then the engine, depending on what class you enter can be anywhere from 150$ to over 1000. I recommend clone honda harbor frieght motor class to start out with (often called "clones" or "CHONDA") or alternatively briggs and stratton have a homologated kart motor that is sealed. Check with you local kart club to see what people are racing at the cheapest level.

Me again, just wanted to add that karting is so much more physically demanding than car racing until you get up to like F3000, so consider your pbysical fktness level and how committed you can be to a work out routine. Driving a kart can be demanding on your body in ways that you dont get in any other form of sport due to its unique nature.

Op here, I'd probably do karts first, it seems the best place to start and I'm not really worried about fitness because I did track in highschool

Time attack.

Do you have any oval tracks by you? If so see if they have any enduro's, they are a shit ton of fun and dirt cheap.

Pick up a shitbox for <$300, gut it and race it. If the car is competitive and you want to save it you can, otherwise demo it at the end of night.

The one I usually run has 80-100 cars and is 100 laps if there's not too many red flags.

>>15502199
Autocross is the cheapest, because you can use whatever you drive to work and you don't really need any additional safety gear. Karting and Lemons will cost thousands for a season, and tens of thousands if you're competitive.

one car on track at a time = not racing

It is, but it's lame.

Take your car to a local track and join the street class races, most of the cars are stock or have shitty bolt-ons. My friend got 2nd place in his stock 09 Civic Si.

I'd say Drag racing is the cheapest and easiest to get into.

>>15503831
It can be fun when people bring oddities. I saw a guy race an f350 with a 2 foot lift, an 80's 6000lb barge and an old crown vice that was just a motor, chassis and roll cage.

>>15503844
Drag racing isn't really skill it's kinda the car

>>15503871
8/10 great execution, would love to see how you would respond to those taking the bait

>>15503871
But it's fun

Sim racing

>>15503808
>too dense to understand racing the clock

>>15503871
It's always the car. Let's see Jeff Gordon win in an '86 XJ with six inches of play in the steering.

No safety requirements what so ever (except an MOT)
Uses fuck all fuel, can use one set of tires all season.

10 year olds have 50k+ karting budgets

Can confirm.
Kid I went to school with said he wasn't going to kart one season, and his parents bought him a house instead.
I would say he's a cunt, but he had no personality whatsoever.

>>15502199
Banger racing.

You need mechanical skill and tools, a trailer, something to haul it with, and an MOT failure from a scrapyard.
Buy whatever shitty scrap-ready landyacht you want. Fix the chassis, smash windows out, install safety bars, fuel cell, and ignition cutout, then strip it the fuck out.
Drive it in full-contact races until it stops going. Fix it until it goes, repeat until it's totalled. Then sell it back to the scrapyard, buy another, and repeat the cycle.

Rallying is popular in europe, and can be done in old shitboxes if you're any good.
