I have been racing ITB since 2001. I was fortunate enough to train at skip barber and run with them at a young age and now at age 24, I am beginning to run competitively (set track record at Road America by 2 sec and am .04 off of the record at Black Hawk farms) in IT.

Here's the question. Where do I go next? I plan on running IT next year and then run in the ARRC. The ultimate goal is to try to make a career out of this racing stuff so I need to start planning on how I want to try to get there. It seems that everyone I talk to believes that Prod has a questionable future so What classes do you guys think I should look into? I am running a 94 VW golf and would like to stay front wheel drive and if possible VW. The Jetta TDI cup is intriguing, so does Grand Am Cup, but I am aware there are a few steps before I can get to that level.


Thanks for any input.
