How long is a piece of string Lozeree? I admire your enthusiasm but I think your first step should be to decide for yourself what sort of racing you want to get into. Then contact the governing body of that series or class of racing - go to an event and get talking to people. Racing drivers have no more favourite subject than themselves and a couple of hours talking to drivers and mechanics in the pits is worth a fortune in advice. You might even find someone in your local area who would be willing to help you get into your chosen series.

Good luck!

As hog says you need to work out what form of racing you're interested in, this may be dictated by budget, location or various other factors. Who you need to contact will again vary depending on what series you go for. As a starting point though you could get the MSA blue book and have a nose through that, whatever you end up doing you'll need the blue book.
