There are already plenty of ways to get into racing on 2 and 4 wheels, all it takes is time and money. I have a double garage at home for the 2 wheeled toys, and a well equipped shop closer to the race track complete with a hoist for the 4 wheel toys.
Karting is a great way to get into competitive motorsports on a budget...
