Default RE: Getting Started in racing??

congrats on finally wanting to race!! once you race one time , you WILL be hooked!!!
your days of bashing will be gone, because racing is that fun. just call the local track or show up at race day just to watch! dont even carry your stuff and just observe everything that is going on and check out how things are run. most tracks have a sportsman division which is beginner drivers. also most guys out at the tracks are very helpfull with new guys. just go up and talk to a few guys when they are not busy and introduce yourself. you'll be racing in no time!!

I Have been in RC on and off since i was 15. I am 31 now and i never got into any type of racing just had fun bashing around the playground or making make shift tracks at my friends house and stuff like that. But now im ready to take the plunge into racing. The question i have is how should i go about getting into racing there are plenty of tracks around my area and i would really love to get involved in racing but i dont want to show up with no clue and look like an idiot or get in anyones way on track and feel like a fool. I would love to get into 1/8 gas truggy and 1/10 electric stadium.
Any advice you may have would really help.
Thanks
