Racing under the Illusion of Grandeur

In 2006 a nearly fifty-year-old Russ Rosenberg had an epiphany. For years he had been searching for a hobby that would hold his interest. After trying Guitar lessons shooting sports and fly fishing Russ tapped into his lifelong passion for cool cars. A short time later he bought a used Miata signed up for autocross school and eventually began road racing. In a comprehensive guide Russ relies on his experiences as an amateur racer to provide a roadmap for beginner racers that offers time-tested wisdom on how to start in the sport avoid costly mistakes and secure a logical path to success. He includes valuable insight into how to choose the right car and the true cost of racing as well as entertaining racing stories for the over-forty crowd photos resources and an honest opinion on the sport from his wife Lisa. “ … A must read for anyone who is considering getting involved in racing …” —Tony Parella CEO Sportscar Vintage Racing Association
