William, I have seen your posts on this very subject for a couple of years now on different boards. You keep asking how, you get good answers, but you have not done anything to accomplish your goals.
For anyone to accomplish anything in life, the first thing you must do is change your dreams into goals. You do this by writing them down. You become committed if they are written. Next on the agenda is to form a game plan. You list the steps you feel it will take to accomplish your goals, and how you are going to accomplish each step. Make a time line for each step. I use one, three and six months, one year and five years in my planning. I keep track of how I am proceeding and make adjustments based on my progress. Maybe more is getting done, maybe less. Either way you must make adjustments to your plan.
For your stated dreams, I would do the following:
1. Go to events where racers are; i.e. race events, displays, team facilities, etc.
A. Talk to as many as you can.
1). Write notes after your talks for later reference. These notes would include, but not be limited to;
a. They seem to like me.
b. They are doing what I want to do.
c. Reasonable proximity to where I live.
d. I fit in with the group. Similar likes and dislikes, lifestyle, etc.
e. The opportunities to learn what I want to learn.
2. Pick up to five groups that you would most like to be involved with.
A. Rate them one through five.
1) Go to the first on your list and see if arrangements can be made to be a part of their team.
2) If rejected, go to the next, and the next and the next.
3. If rejected by all, make another list and do it all over again. Keep trying.
4. Learn by observation, listening to instructions, and doing a job quickly and correctly. Never complain or feel you are too good for any task. Ask questions only at appropriate times. Too many questions means you are too lazy to learn on your own and you depend on others to remember for you.
5. Make an updated plan.
You need to add the hows and time line as I am not familiar with your ultimate goals, surroundings or availability to race teams. And lack of money to get started is only an excuse, not a reason for lack of starting or accomplishment of your goals. It only means you have to include acquiring money as part of your game plan.
I practice what I preach every year. After much thought and discussions with my wife and family, two months ago I came to a decision to change my lifestyle and profession. I made the exact type of game plan for me and it is progressing quite nicely.
Good luck and hopefully success for you.
