So I thought my dad was cool with me racing but apparently he isn't. He's even asked my what class I was racing and we've talked about it for some reason it's a problem now. He thinks I'm going to break something. Yes my car is old, but I keep up with maintenance.
What would be some good reasons why he should let me race? There is an autocross on sunday so I've got a day to convince him. |

Take him out with you and let him drive so he can see what it is all about. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) or maybe download some videos that shows what you will be doing and the typical speeds involved. Also let him know that autocrossing is a very safe activity and what you learn from it actually makes you a better driver on the street. |
