As I learned many years ago, "there is plenty of money in racing... I know I put enough of it in there myself".
As a former crew guy and ultimately a team owner in the Geand Am series I can tell you- you must be talented, this means winning and bringing the car back in one piece. I had fast guys who used up the car and they were not welcome back. Being able to pay for the crash damage and excess wear is not enough. It wears out the team. You will need to be well funded, either self or a personal sponsor to get noticed at the levels you will need to be at to get paid. Keep in mind even some drivers at the top F1 and NASCAR levels are buying rides. They have personal sponsors who may be paying the bills but they are not paid by the team. Your window is while you are very young, after 20 you may have missed it if you not a phenomenal late bloomer.
