How to Become a Street Racer (8 Steps)


Locate a race that you may wish to enter. In an effort to keep drivers from hosting illegal street races, a number of municipalities have started organizing legal street races along closed stretches of road or on the closed tracks of racing venues. The first resource below provides an example of legal street racing. Check with your state attorney general's office, your local sheriff's office or your local chief law enforcement officer's department to inquire about a schedule and venue of some legal street racing events.
Fulfill any pre-licensing requirements of the race organizers or organization. For instance, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) requires any prospective racers to join the organization and obtain a NHRA Competition License if a racer plans to drive a car capable of passing the quarter-mile in a time of less than 9.99 seconds.
Call the event organizers or venue to receive a race registration or download the registration from the event’s website, where applicable.
Choose the type of race you wish to enter. Venues offer different types of race events. “Heads-up” style races pit one driver against another in a single or double-elimination, timed drag race down a set length, such as a quarter or 1/8-mile. “Handicap” races challenge a driver to set a time that his car will pass a certain distance and the race winner is the driver that best meets that preset time.
Fill out the registration and mail it to the organization or venue, along with any entry fees.
Verify that your car meets the standards or limits set forth by the racing organization or venue operator. For instance, Qualcomm Drags in San Diego sets a 93-decibel limit on the sound emanating from your car’s exhaust. The National Association of Legal Street Racing (NALSR) requires that a car’s door open from the inside and outside, and it does not permit the racing of any car with a rotary or air-cooled engine.
Make any alterations to your vehicle to fulfill the standards or limits of the racing organization. Some events permit nitrous-oxide systems while others require that a driver disable these systems or provide a cut-off switch.
Take your driver’s license, registration, car, and where applicable, proof of insurance to the track on race day. If you are under the age of 18 your parent or guardian may need to either accompany you to the track and sign a form, or mail in a notarized, pre-signed form. Please note that some venues require a race entrant to drive her car to the track, while other venues or organizations permit a driver to tow her car to the raceway.

How to Build a Niche Store Online


Choosing the right niche can be the key to success for your business. Spend some time researching what people are searching for and buying. Be sure that your niche is populated by enough buyers with money to spend in the market.
Carefully evaluate your competition. No competition might mean that there are no buyers. Are there areas in which you could excel over your competition? How will your site be better than theirs? Create a unique selling position for your business.
If you do not already have products to sell, consider carefully what kind of products you will promote. Physical products that you ship yourself require an investment of both money and time. Affiliate products are popular because they offer easy entry into the market and availability.
Affiliate products are available from many different providers. Clickbank is one of the largest and most popular sources of digital information products. If you prefer to promote brand-name products, Commission Junction is a good place to begin.
You will need to purchase hosting from a web hosting provider. You can obtain free sites in many places around the web, but you don't own the site in this case. It would be a setback to build a successful business and lose it because you did not own the site. Once you have a hosting account, register a domain name for your site. Try to acquire a name that has your niche keywords in the name.
Build your website around your products, offering lots of information to attract buyers. Product reviews, purchasing guides and other content that would be of interest to your customers will bring traffic to your site and help you make sales.
Use a good shopping cart. If you are selling affiliate products, you will be sending your customers to their checkout and can skip this step. But if you are selling your own products, you need to install a shopping cart on your site. A good place to start is using the PayPal shopping cart. PayPal acts as your merchant account and completes the transaction for you. Customers can check out through the PayPal shopping cart using their credit cards; they do not need a PayPal account.
You are now ready to set up your products in the store. Each of your products needs compelling sales copy to entice the buyer to purchase, and each needs to be enabled in the shopping cart. It is a good idea to test each product and be sure that it is checking out properly.
Advertising your site is an ongoing process. You have many options available to you, and you should probably take advantage of all of them to some extent. Paid advertising is the easiest and most expensive. Be careful to know your profit margins when purchasing advertising.
One of the most effective free advertising methods is article writing. Write articles about your market and link them to your site content. This will naturally create links and draw people into your site.
Establish a link-building campaign and trade links with sites similar to yours. Incoming links coupled with good onsite content will help you to rank high with Google and other search engines and can bring more visitors to your store.
