Ya know...I think I like this kid!

So, how old is too old? I really don't think there is such a thing.

Toylocost,

Here's an alternate idea for you, one that I'm pursuing. Find out what organizations are active in your area; SCCA, NASA, etc. Run a search for meeting locations and go to a few. Get to know who's doing what in your specific area and how much commitment it takes. You'll make some like minded friends and get new perspectives. Gradually the pieces will start falling into place.

I held off for years hoping someone would start an active autocross group close to home while there was a long history of hillclimbs being held twice yearly in my own town. SCCA time trial rules apply. At the time the safety rules seemed daunting. Turns out there's a hill running within driving distance every other weekend of the summer. Seems like good bang for the buck now.! There's opportunities to get involved as corner workers (best seat in the house) and club duties too. I definitely want to build my own middy but 'till I nail down facilities I'm volunteering and aquiring protective gear (some deals on fleabay) and a 914. By the time I'm ready to build I'll have a better idea of my design goals. That's what's doing it for me, find out what's happening there and dig in.

AMEN! I'm over the hill and wish I'd started this learning curve at your age.

Will do. SO much stuff to do in my life right now it's kinda overwhelming. I don't know when I'll have time to but I will.
