I know this sounds stupid but I was wondering how you get started racing. Like where do you get a number and how. Do you have to register with an association or just show up to the races?

All you need to do is stop by a shop and get some numbers (what ever number you want) and go to the track on race day. Most shops can help you out if you have any questions beyond that as well!

The first step is trying to find a race. Seems like racing in the area has become a bit of a white Rhino. Second, what I would do, I show up to a race, complete with a roll of electrical tape (or tape of your choice), go to sign up and ask what numbers are available. Nothing sucks more than picking out your favorite number and showing up finding out that 3 other people already have that number (and as a result you have to change yours). Don't waste money, find out the available numbers before you buy. Shoot I ran an electrical tape number for a whole season and I wasn't even a beginner! Anyway, after that's figured out go to your fav shop and purchase numbers, backgrounds, and any other shiny go fast parts you want. Check out organizations websites for information on their racing schedules and rule/req's. Livfast has a webpage, SMRA used to (idk if they exist anymore), the guys over the hill have plenty of sites. Research.... Most of all, just show up with a good attitude and ready to have fun (also money, they tend to want that in exchange for racing). Also, if you haven't already, I highly recommend attending a few practices before you race. This will let you adapt to being on a track with multiple people, understanding racing lines, and most of all keeping yourself, and everyone around you, safe. Pick a line, stick to it. If you're not jumping stick to the edges, the center of the track is usually the most dangerous, if you're not ready for bangin bars, stick to the edges.
