Just a quick note to MA..
I for one used to drive for an hour every wednesday to race at PDA, yes it was small but well run and an awesome track. Probably the most welcoming venue I have ever raced at.
No disrespect to anyone else, but getting advice from people like Alec & Tony will give you a brilliant starting point, I just hope you dont expect them to do all the chasing.... its in your interest to make this venture work and these guys could not only help, but give you some credibility, which you really need
