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. |

Your best shot is to bring him along. If he is dead set against it, then bring him with and both watch an event. You can probably get someone to take each of you on a ride too.

I would imagine that you could also get one of the officers of the club to speak with Dad and explain to him about what autocross is about and what they do to ensure it's fun and safe. |
