Thread: How do drivers get started

I grew up in Ontario, Canada and I drove tractors and the truck on the farm before I was 16. Neighbours of mine bought an old car and raced it around the fields.

Once they parked it in their field beside a sideroad, camouflaged it with tree branches and waited till a car came, at which point they would race it from inside the field.

Personally, as a city kid, I didn't get my license until I was 21.

Along the same lines as the original topic, is there a minimum age or experience level to qualify or enter a professional racing series?
