I would never have become a racer without EMRA.
EMRA's bar was a lot lower and they welcomed me to race my street car (AH Sprite)
After cutting my teeth with EMRA, I looked around and realized that the upgrades to SCCA weren't going to be so hard.
But without that middle step, I don't think I would have had the wherewithal
to do it at that point in my life (24 years old/low income)
