is there a category for racing (dirt track stock cars)?

All types of races have different categories because not all stock cars have the same elapsed time. There is usually a qualifiying stage for this and from there they would put you in your class. have loads of fun :-)

You can start where you want, if you can afford it....Your best bet would be to go to a local track & start with a street stock, TRUCK, CAR TRAILER & EXTRA TIRES, PART'S ETC & last get the biggest sponser you can, to help off-set the cost out of your pocket..........then move up to a late model & so forth....these are full-body Vehicles..the street stock is your everyday camaro, monte carlo etc, with a full roll cage, stripped down body & interior.. The late model is a fiber-glass body on a tube frame, basically a frame,engine, seat & control's....Start there & learn your way to drive the vehicle at such high speed's.....Learn what wedge, tire pressure etc can do to the vehicle for handling.....Learn all the rules of stock car racing & memorize what each flag means too....... If you make a name for yourself there, you can move up more with a big name sponser.......Good luck & stay SAFE................Hope this question is not a DAYZ-DREAM

Start at a beginner lever. Midget racing, stock car racing, go cart to hone you fundamentals then and win win win races. The more you do that, you will more than likely get noticed by scouts and advertisers. And the rest will be history. And sell yourself to people.

I have been a NASCAR fan a very long time.  NASCAR used to vary the amount of cars that would be allowed to participate at any give race depending on the track.  It wasn't until about 9 or maybe 10 years ago that NASCAR ruled that only 43 cars would be allowed to participate at every race.  This makes for especially fun and exciting races at tracks like Bristol and Richmond.  There are rare cases where there are less than 43 cars start the race, but never more than 43 cars become far too dangerous on the track.

Stock car races were first.  It began with the moonshiners.  They would get together and have "runs" or races.  It was a contest to prove who was the fastest runner.\n\n***EDIT***\n\nI stand corrected!!! Racingcowboy is right.  In 1948 Bill France founded the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) so the "contest" would be organized.

In a way I agree with you, but considering that this category does deal with motorsport, rebuilding engines and finding parts for their car might be considered for motorsports if they are racing or building a race car.\n\nwould it be appropriate to post a question regarding finding shocks and tranny parts or specs that are the same as the 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX WRC edition?  That in a way deals with motorsports.\n\nBut I don't think it's right that people post questions like should I buy this car or what are the specs for this so and so car if it's stock.\n\njust my point of view.

I don't know about Australia, but I'm here in Korea and I've just become a driver for a Pro Kart team trying to get as much seat time as I can.. and that's really what you need. Seat time, it dosen't matter what type of driving. From there you'll meet people with different contacts in the racing world. And just keep talking about rally. I know in America there's a feeder program called RallyCross, but I dunno if there's anything like that in Australia.

Definitely. No more oval stock car nonsense here, just pure motorsport; F1, the pinnacle of motor racing on Planet Earth. No more people to say that F1 cars can be driven by monkeys because of the TC system, no more people to call F1 boring...\n\nThe Americans don't understand traction control. It's not a method of creating traction, it's a method of maximising the traction that the driver has avaliable. And they don't seem to get that.\nToo bad there isn't a category for MotoGP. F1 is the best 4-wheeled motorsport, and MotoGP-the best two-wheeled one.\n\n\nbtw, I think the 248 in your nickname comes from the name of this year's Ferrari. Am I right?

i race mini-cup cars but we race on pavement - our cars could be set up to race on dirt which would be a blast but we've never tried it since most of the tracks around here are paved

Road Racing, isn't that another name for Motogp?

it largely depends on what type of motorsport you wish to get involved in, my suggestion is go to your local track as most have schools and ask to speak to someone or visit the jim russell racing school website www.jimrussell.com and contact someone there.
