I want to learn how to race (more) responsibly., PCA, SCCA... ??? Where do I start? Options

[Dr. Roger]

So the car is getting done and now my next step is to learn how to race (more) responsibly. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

It looks like this involves joining a sanctioning body, figuring which class , I dont' know what else.

If you have a V8 914 and zero experience racing AX where would you start?

I'm near San Francisco, CA.

Thanks.

Get an instructor, tell em your just getting the idea of autox.. do it at least twice.. When youve got the moving the hands down really fast down, and starting to work on "lines" then its time to move on to the 914. (friend of mine did this, had a blast..) You'll apreciate the 914 more, and be much more ready in the event of a lift spin, understeer (which you will have plenty) and other things that could cause problems for your car.. You learn on a slow car w/ bad tires, then work up... Andrew

all i've got is my 4X4 Tacoma, my dirt bike and my gas powered, fur covered surf board. i think i'll start with the 914. LOL =-)

I realize driving technique is a heavy weighted aspect of speed. I cut my teeth road racing up in the berkeley hills on grizzly peak, skyline drive, and then Hy. 1 up and down the coast in my lowered dodge colt, my '63 ghia vert., and many street bikes.

OK, so SCCA it is.

Thanks a ton guys, as always. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
