Head down to the Speedway in New Mexico (near Las Cruces I think) and strike up a conversation with some of the guys there. Get their advice

That's a good idea.
I just don't understand how you have to start young...it's driving, it's not like you start sucking at a certain age. Dale Sr was good all the way up to the end and wasn't he 48 or so?
