Dirt Track Auto Racing - Facing the Unknown
I was going to tell you how fantastic my race went last week. . . but I can't. Actually, I was going to be racing twice and I wanted to tell you all about it. But instead, all I can report is RAIN!!! Yes, one thing you can't control is the weather. You wake up in the morning, ready for the dirt track auto racing challenge of your life and BAM, lightning, thunder, rain, slick muddy clay awaits. Two cancellations in one and a half weeks. Great start to the dirt track auto racing season, wouldn't you say.
Instead, I watched a bit of Nascar on TV with my feet up. I love to race though and would rather be on the track then watching it.
So, my dirt track auto racing tip for this week (Tip #5) is: Don't count on the weather to cooperate and call before you go to the track. (Tip #6) Pray for nice sunny days and evenings and dry tracks. Enjoy your two tips. . . see you soon.

Dirt Track Auto Racing Tip #4 - What About Dirt Track Rules?
Hope you had a great week. I will be dirt track auto racing tonight (if it doesn't rain) and I will let you know how it goes. I put a new dirt track video clip of one of my buddy's racing at night on a dirt track. If it looks a bit blurry, it's because it's night time and they are going around 120 mph! We'll do some daylight shots of dirt track auto racers as well so you can get an even better idea of what is going on. You can go to the home page of http://www.dirttrackracing.citymax.com Or, just click this link to view it. http://www.dirttrackracing.citymax.com/f/therock.3g2
What about dirt track auto racing rules? Racetracks and the different stock car associations work together to try to come up with a rule book that is general enough to cover lots of different race tracks. Although you should check for individual rules for your track (these are available when you register), for the most part, you can expect just about the same procedures no matter what track you visit. The rule books will outline specifically each race car class and that includes things like engine size, dimensions of the car, equipment requirements and a list of what you are not allowed to do. This is very helpful because it allows the racer to enter more races, increasing their chance of winning and adding to their points no matter where they race. It also allows the race track to allow the largest number of cars that they can. That gives the racing associations the chance to sponsor more events which in turn, makes new and old fans alike very happy.
Each fan has their own stock car preference. Both open wheel racers and stock cars have their good and bad points. We'll go more into the types of tracks the stock cars race on next time so see you back soon.

Dirt Track Auto Racing Tip #3 - What Class Do I Race In?
Dirt Track Auto Racing Tip #3 - What Class Do I Race In?
Did you know that dirt track auto racing has classes? Not the kind of classes you have to take in school, but classification classes. When you first start out in dirt track racing you will start in the "4 Cylinder Class" or "Pure Stock Car Class" which are the two entry level dirt track auto racing classes. To qualify for this class your car will most likely look like a normal street or stock car. There can be up to 15 classes that you can race in on a dirt track. The class levels are designed to make dirt track auto racing fair for all. So if you are a first timer, don't forget to bring enough money for a small entry fee and register in the 4 Cylinder Class. Check out a few new pages on http://www.dirttrackracing.citymax.com and check back soon time for another dirt track auto racing tip.

DIRT TRACK RACING TIP #2
DIRT TRACK RACING TIP #2
You've taken the advice from dirt track racing tip #1 and decided to not to wreck your own shiny car. You want to buy an inexpensive car to use on the track. So now you have a number of options. You can go to: your local newspaper car ads, a junk yard, or classified ads made specifically for dirt track and auto racers like racingjunk.com. A used dirt track racing car should cost between $1000 to $5000 on average. (Or, if you have the cash, you can have a company like "Sleeper Chassis" in Huntingdon, PA 16652-0000 (814) 643-2969 build a new or custom dirt track racing car for you and get a quote. Another company, JR Motorsports sells basic cars through building a complete car from the ground up. You can contact them at: General Inquiries: JR Motorsports (704) 696-3580 phone or email to info@jrmotorsport.com. On average though, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 and up to have someone build you a custom dirt track racing car. Now that you are in shock, back to reality. The most logical thing to do would be to visit the dirt tracks themselves and do a bit of "dirt track networking" by asking the racers themselves and others in the pit if they know of a car for sale or watch for the "for sale" signs on some of the cars themselves. Hope you found this tip helpful. See you next time for Dirt Track Racing Tip #3.

DIRT TRACK RACING TIP #1
DIRT TRACK RACING TIP #1
You're back! Great. Here is your first dirt track racing tip. Let's start at the beginning. . . you don't have a car. Well, you may have a car, but can it be used for racing on a dirt track? Sure. You can take your everyday car, go to the nearest oval dirt track, pay a small entry fee and take your chances. That's what a stock car is! A "stock" car. But, if you don't want to mess up your nice, shiny, new stock car, you may want to consider some alternatives. You may want to buy yourself an older junker that you can "modify" a little and don't have to worry about damaging on the dirt race track. So the first tip is to race a car that you aren't worried about damaging because if it is your first visit to the dirt race track, it's going to be a down and dirty time, a little bit scary, and the damage, although minimal, will be from flying rocks, dirt, mud, causing little nicks and dents. Of course, the worst case scenerio is damage from another car, a wall, or other inanimate object that doesn't happen to get out of your way. Come back soon for tip #2.
