How I did it: Took the 3 day racing school at bertil roos in a formula car.  Had a blast and it was everything I expected.  This is really just the first step for me as I plan on continuing racing.  For more details of my experience, see my blog: http://www.aracingdream.com

Lessons & tips: It helps to know what you need to do to drive a race car beforehand.  Believe it or not, books (Going Faster, Drive to Win, Speed Secrets, etc.), video (try youtube for onboard video), video games(iRacing, rFactor, etc), indoor karting, and talking to people who have raced before are things that helped me.  I felt very prepared.  Still, the first time out was a little intimidating, but it's amazing how everytime you go out you get so much better and gain so much more confidence.
