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 you have an outlet for aggressive driving like autocross or track days, then you are much less likely to race around on the streets... and that is a good thing...
once you become skilled at racing, street racing will not turn you on |

Once you make driving mistakes in controlled conditions (such as on a road course or autox) you realize how easy and unforgiving it would be to make these kind of mistakes on the street. |
