Racerchick 101 - so you want to be a racerchick...

So you’ve decided to take the plunge…. make the next big step. NOOOOOO! I’m NOT talking marriage – I’m talking PROFESSIONAL RACING.  We’ve all heard the saying – to make a million in racing you start off with ten – but once you’ve decided that you are too good of a driver and it’s just getting too expensive for you to run with the program alone – it means going to the next level.  This professional stage of a full fledged racing team means getting “sponsors”  and saying goodbye to sleeping in on Sundays.  Pat yourself on the back here for making this choice.

Here at racerchicks.com we will cover the many areas you should look at when starting your professional race team. We will provide you with common sense advice, creative ideas and comments from some of the best in the business, with the goal of  helping your transition from amateur to pro racer go smoothly.
