I am only 52 HA HA. I only got into the hobby about 6 years ago but have been a mechanic and machinist for 30 plus years. The biggest thing I can tell a person about racing is practice practice and more practice. It is now just getting nice enough out side to go to the track more and up till now have only been going on race day as it has been HOT here like it is every summer. At my age I do not deal with heat well. I am hoping to start going twice a week to the track so I can try different set ups and practice. Go get your buggy out on the track and have fun.
