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. |

If he's worried that you might break something, he might be right. Competition does break stuff. Part of that is up to you, though. For instance, don't drop the clutch at 5 grand unless you can afford to replace your 10-bolt (if that's what you have). There's also one site that I don't run at very often because it's rough on cars, and when I do compete there, I try to drive at about 95-98%.
The good news is, if you break something, you will learn how to fix it. Asking him to go with you is a good idea. |
