get into racing but understand that if its a street car you will
a- keep breaking things
b-wear other thing out faster
c-become addicted
d-spend lots of money trying to go faster, which you normally wouldn't spend
Find a local club that is involved in motorsport, probably, motokhana, khanacross, mabye hill climbing (bit more costly) autocross (alos a little more costly) go to meeting and events, watch learn then, go racing!!
Probably go motokhana, ering first, its cheap and easy and you don't need a fast car, just be willing to buy new sets of tyres more.

Yep you'll definatly spend more money and spend less time with your friends, start hanging out at VW shops and drag stips, you'll hock or sell every thing you own to finish your engine, and you'll spend most of your free time locked away in your garage. Or is that just me.

Hi
I use to do a lot of club racing when I was young, I would often stuff something on the weekend and have to catch a train to work the next week.
Buy a vee or a kart instead.

You need;
A fire extinguisher.
An 2nd throttle spring.
A helmet.
Basic CAMS license.
Car in reasonable order (not rego though).
The license is the the hardest it, but once you get there it's tops fun. You race against the clock, not other people. You can drive as slow as you like. You're on dirt so your unlikely to break driveline bits. A set of soft Mud/Snow retreads would be good to start with or you can slide around on ya street tyres.
😀
I did it in my 67 beetle and the only thing that went wrong was a clogged airfilter (doggy aftermarket taiwanese crap). It was a hoot. The sound of my new 1641 (with hotdog and meg) echoing through the forrest (at 4500rpm) was AWESOME!
