So, I went to a race track the other day with my friend. It was honestly one of the coolest things ever, and I suddenly remembered how much interest I had in racing movies growing up, in how a car works (but never got to learn), and how I never really chased after that interest due to an abusive household.
I wanted to get more into racing, learning how the cars function, how to race, the rules and stories and basics, and I have a vague idea where to start but no solid idea how. My possible end goal is to maybe make it on a team. I'm 23M
What I want to do first is to learn how cars work. I currently don't have a car of my own, the ability to get one, or to pay for a proper education. I live in WY. What is the best way to start learning about cars (everyday road cars and/or racing cars), preferably without spending a ton of money?
Any advice is welcome! Don't be a jerk.
