I think you just described how you got started ... other than #1

I'm not pissed, David. It appears you are getting there, though.[/quote]

That is how I got started. My car cost $4,000.00 at Joe's Used Car Lot. Ran Driver's Edge once and NASA HPDE once in my life with no other track experience. Put a cage in the car, and next event I was on the track with the race group.

I'm not mad! Just resolved in my feelings on F.I.S. And because NASA is still pushing people into the race group, noticably into CMC, that is how you become a CMC driver. Problems will arise from having fully inverted starts and inexperienced people leading the way.
