I really like racing bu i dont know what type of racing i want to do. i want excitement and fun (not Nascar) and i am just sure where to start. i have heard about the karting and dirt track, but i want to be accualy racing in a car and kinda fast too. i really just dont know what my options are and i really would like this to me my new hobbie, i know i will love it. i live in houston,tx and i just dont know what all is here either, i have noticed most of the racing goes on near the east coast and west coast. any ideas or anything would be great thanks. =)i have taken a look at SCCA and another racing association, but i cant decide on what i want to do. and the reason i say i dont wanna start with karts is because i know i can win at that, i want something challenging that going to take time, work and practice to be good at. FYI - when i messing around with friends on the road kinda racing i love every minute of it, i just go into this zone.

" i have heard about the karting and dirt track, but i want to be accualy racing in a car and kinda fast too."Racing is very hard work. You have to be willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. There is no short cut.

racing is more than what u think, u dont just get in a car slam the gas pedal down, and go fast, it takes skill, and lots of experience. It also takes money, and lots of times, have to be cool under extreme amount of pressure, and it  requires u start at the bottom and work your way up. I have raced both pavement, and dirt tracks.
