Can anyone race? Yes...Anyone over the age of 14 can race a stock car. What if I have never raced before? Aldy's goal is to decrease your learning curve by offering tips and advice and by assisting you at your first race here at the local track. Desert Thunder Raceway will assign rookie status to you for your first three races, which means that you will start behind the other cars in your class. This allows you to become familiar with your car and the track at your own pace. (Rookie status is removed once you and your fellow drivers feel you are experienced enough.) What types of cars can I race There are several classes of cars to race on a dirt track. The most popular are Pure Stock  Street Stock Modifieds and Late Models. There are different
rules and specifications for each class.How much does a car cost? Simply put: The faster the class, the more expensive the car. Here are some estimates. |
