that championship matt races in....

[josh1989]

what's the deal?

apart from weight loss like the buckets and roll cage etc what modifications do the cars have? or do they have to be stock? what's the cost? do you have to have a liscence (racing not driving)?
just intrigued

[Karl]

straight through exhaust, (Grp n)
suspension setup,
Panel filter..

I believe thats what it is.

[MaRiO89]

[MaRiO89]

I know..

I thought it was .com but its obviously not..lol

[Danr]

Thats a risky website to have for 14-17 year olds ha ha ha!

[josh1989]

cheers lads was gonna attempt it but bummed out by that little thing on the website logo:

'14 to 17 year olds' i've never hated being 18 before now :n:

[MaRiO89]

It was an easy mistake to make..lol

:oops:

[SNewham]

What do I need to race SAXMAX?

You will need 3 documents:
a) a fully paid up 750 Motor Club membership,
b) SAXMAX Championship registration,
c) MSA Junior Race Licence.

Obviously you will need a SAXMAX race car,

You will also need appropriate safety equipent including fire-proof suit, safety helmet, gloves etc.



obviously you need to be 14-17

[josh1989]

had the ability to comply with everything right up to the age limits no fun

[Karl]

...you dont have SaxMax registration..

do you have all the other licenses?

do you have a SaxMax spec race car?

[AdamW]

How does a 14-17yr old afford all that?

[Karl]

How does a 14-17yr old afford all that?

Mommy and Daddy?

[CampDavid]

Try stock hatch instead

[josh1989]

...you dont have SaxMax registration..

do you have all the other licenses?

do you have a SaxMax spec race car?

you get everythin i say wrong pal haha

no i don't i <b>would be able</b> to get them :y: yeh obviously not cheap but it could be done just not the age thing i can't pay to lose a year off my birth certificate (lagally anyway;) )

[josh1989]

Try stock hatch instead

what's that?

[Lee_P]

isnt theere something simular for 18 plus

[Karl]

Probably what David has just said.

[betty02]

tell you what sax-p should ahve there own group of racers who do comps etc, liek saxmax but sax-p lol!

[SNewham]

Forget it mate, at the age of 18 can you really afford to get a car track prepared? you're looking at easily over 10 maybe even 15 grand for a year of racing.

You're also forgetting transportation to and from events, accomodation at events, mechanical support/backup, maintanence/repair of car etc etc etc....

At the end of the day, I was going to go into pro racing when I was younger and even in Karting people as young as 13 chuck £15,000 per season at competing, unless you really do have financial backing you shouldn't even consider it.

[Karl]

massive fair point from scott there.

[Lee_P]

get a go kart much easier

[CampDavid]

what's that?

Google? No.

Ok, uncle Campo will do it for you http://www.stockhatch.net/

I have to do everytthing round here, etc,etc

:D

Not true there my man, a stock hatch, used, starts at about a grand, rising up to 5k. You'll need all the overalls and heklmets etc, with the training, you can probably get a season one for about 4k

[Lee_P]

love you uncle campo :hug: :hug:

still go karts is the answer

wasn't thinkin of doing it right now, i'll be on 50k (after tax) a year when i'm 25, and was simply looking at little races you can do, like the virgin yamaha r1 races they do before bsb (only difference being the bikes are all exactly the same and supplied)

[Karl]

wasn't thinkin of doing it right now, i'll be on 50k (after tax) a year when i'm 25,

thats in 7 years time...

[CampDavid]

http://www.fastroadandtrack.co.uk/frat/showad.php?adid=5715

Turn key racing car, £2800. Should be reasonably competetive

[SNewham]

That isn't all the costs though is it. You also have to assess travel, transportation, accomodation, mechanic hire, storage etc etc. It all adds up and at the end of the day it isn't just your simple entry costs and car costs..

And I wasn't doubting that you had or would have money josh I was just making you aware that there are other costs that are normally overlooked.

[CampDavid]

wasn't thinkin of doing it right now, i'll be on 50k (after tax) a year when i'm 25,

You'll be on 80k a year at 25? Okay then. As a tip, don't start spending it quite yet...

On another note, don't plan your life away

[Karl]

how can you say youll be on 80-90k pa when your 25,
your 18 :S

[betty02]

josh what is it you do agauin matey? best thing get a car you liek, strip it, slam it race it (legally)

[AdamW]

He is an MC

[betty02]

muaaahh i used 2 MC and i wasnt on that much, must of been shit me :roll:

[Karl]

He is an MC

He must have some phat rhymes to make that sorta dollar,

oops worded it wrong, sat diver and rov pilot working out of the country more than 6 months so won't pay tax

now you're going to say how do expect to take part in a race car championship if you're never in the country

the answer: i just wanted to have a go at racing and was just wondering what sort of championships etc are out there

yes 7 years is a long way away, i'm just bored right now and thought i might see what the deal is with getting into it :y:

cheers to all for tips and that, wish i'd had dead rich parents who could have put me in a vtr at 14 very weekend, haha

[josh1989]

[betty02]

Enlighten me to this dadaman charator... lol im retired so now challanges lmao, anwyays back on topic... www.saxmax.co.uk lol!

[mattsteR11]

Not all of us have rich mums and dads?..
It annoys me when people say this because soon as i get any money it goes straight to the racing, i dont get pocket money or anything like that.
I also have to work for it, i dont just ask mum and dad if i can have 1k a weekend to race like the rich guys do

Matt

[Barry123]

I recall Matt father saying one of the cars was bought for significantly less than £1k... if you've gone mechanical skillz then it is a relatively very cheap mode of entry into motorsport. Saxo's are in abundancy and parts are cheap, it makes sense to use them as a cheap motorsport car.

[kcsaxo]

one of the reason i go karting on a regular basis, dont have the money to race-prep a car or spare parts plus so much time is spent getting to locations. maybe im just lazy.

a race prepped one? they sell for 8-9k

[Karl]

if you dont mind me asking Matt, what do you have to do for the money to fund your racing?

[mattsteR11]

mum and dad pay for most of it.. and sponsors help out.. but if i dont help out around the house or help fix the cars and keep my grades up at school etc they wont pay.

[MaRiO89]

So the racing is like and incentive for you to do well at school etc..

Good idea!

[Raz]

If he loves racing then he will have to really :y:

[c8james]

How does a 14-17yr old afford all that?

Answer..... his dad pays.;)

[Barry123]

a race prepped one? they sell for 8-9k

my bad matt, i was referring to the parts mainly.

[v3nnie]

The 1st year Matt racing we spent around 17k , that was buying the car getting it race prepard, his race suit,helmet licence etc etc etc. To help pay for his racing now I buy and sell cars, also sell spares for Saxo's and other makes also hold down a full time job.

His mum works long hours too. Also his bothers and friends help us out in getting the car ready for racing also at the meetings.

But if one day he makes in racing it will all be worth it. (so long as he don't forget his dad ;) )

If anyone wants to start racing have a look at stock hatch to get a car race prepard its cheaper than Saxmax, also have a look at this website.

thats alot of money, will be all worth while if he makes it:)

[v3nnie]

Also have a look at the 750 website http://www.750mc.co.uk/

But if you want to win races then YES it will cost alot.

[v3nnie]

thats alot of money, will be all worth while if he makes it:)

I hope he does :D But I get a lot of fun out of it as well. Also I get a lot of grief from it too.

But the funny thing is, in a few weeks now the season is over Matt will start getting a pain in a** as he will be missing the racing, also I miss it as well.
I start getting bored at the weekends.

[josh1989]

bubble and crisp

honestly betty don't steal lines if you don't know them it's crys as in bubble (champagne) and crys (crystal) hee hee

kisses xx
