types of racing

Hey everyone. I'm 15 right now and just getting into cars and am new to these forums(taking drivers ed, can't wait tell i can drive).

I was looking at different cars, and was interested in eventually racing cars.

I looked at the different types of racing and was confused with what they are, and teh differences. Of course I know what the big names are like NASCAR, but a breif description of each one would be great and much appreciated.

I was paticularly interested in the type of racing in the followiong videos, so extra stuff on that would be nice as well:

and

Thanks!

sounds like you are interested in circuit racing.

thats about all i can tell for the time being out of those videos.

look up auto-x in your city, and attend one. it'll be free to watch. its the closest thing to circuit racing that you can do w/o shelling out a bunch of money for track time, or doing it on the streets.

this is a quick vid from you tube. its from my hometown, but the instructor tells some pointers and things in the video. also gives you an idea.
