When I was growing up, I never knew how to get into racing.
I started go-karting when I was 10 years old at a small, local track.
That was the extent of my knowledge of the racing world aside
from what I had watched on TV or saw at the track.

Now that I have gone through the process to get to this point in
my career, I'm always asked the same question from fans who
are just like I was:

"How did you get into this racing stuff?"

This entire section is dedicated to answering this question for
you, the fan. It contains information about the following:

• The Ladder System
  What it is, how it works and what the different series involve.

• Education & Skills
  I have tried to describe what forms of  education and skills are
  needed to prepare and assist you, if you want to try to be a racer.

• The Racer Lifestyle
  The ups and downs of being a part of this sport.

• Testing
  This section gives an overview of the racecar's testing, research & development, and other factors that make the car faster.

• Racing Resources
  This section has website links and lists for you to venture to if you feel so inclined to dig deeper.

The goal of this section is for you, the fan, to have a better understanding of how my sport of open wheel racing works,
and how you can consider being a part of it yourself. It is also here to tackle your curiosity about the sport.

I hope you enjoy the information I am providing and I hope that you learn a thing or two for the next time you go to the races!
