Go Ahead – Go Online

The book Go Ahead – Take the Wheel, a how-to racing resource that has been promoted through the SCCA, is now completely free and available online. “For the active racers, how many times are we asked, ‘What do I need to do to start racing?’ and, ‘How much does that all cost?’ said the book’s author Dave Gran. “It will be great for them to be able to say, ‘Take a look at this website – it has everything you’ll need to know.”

This resource details everything a person needs to know about getting started in Solo, Performance Driving Experience, Time Trials, Club Racing and volunteering opportunities. The site contains numerous pictures (many more than the original book format did), videos, how-to articles and a chat forum. It also includes actual prices of how much it costs to participate in the various forms of racing, steps on buying and building a racecar, a section covering maintenance and repairs, checklists of the various items a person needs to complete, as well as a section that centers on driving techniques and other related articles.

The website will also be offering a mentor program for rookies, and is looking for experienced racers looking to contribute. According to Gran, the mentor’s time commitment is fairly minimal – just be available for a couple phone calls when convenient or chat via e-mail.
