i would suggest starting on dirt. because of the lack of natural grip in the surface it teaches you more about car set up and car control than the high grip enviroment of asphalt.
if you care to join us for a trip to brisgeport one weekend i would be happy to show you the baics of how it works and we can introduce you to some of the less expensive entry level classes.
randy is right about going to the track, there is a lot to it, much of it you can pick up jsut by wandering the pits and watching/listening.
if you kow anyone who races, ask if they mind you tagging along to help crew for them. knowing how the pieces and parts go together and work is another key to being a good driver, you can identify problems from in the car and feed it back to the crew so it can be fixed quickly and correctly.
