There is no excuse for anyone who wants to get into AX not to do it! We all do it for the fun of it (the most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on!), the time demands and costs can be minimal.
Depending on how far you want/need to travel to find a local event, the time amounts to 6-10 hrs typically on a Sunday morning-afternoon. You are headed back home often in time for supper.
Costs can be as minimal as the cost of entry fee for the event, again typically 20-30.00 for a local event. There is nothing else you must have except a road safe car (sorry, no vans or SUVs tho). Clubs usually have loaner helmets available at the event for those who don't want to invest in one of their own. There is very little risk to the car and/or the driver. You can always find a willing experienced person you help with instruction if the sponsor club doesn't have a formal novice instruction program, many do. We love helping novices get "hooked" on the sport, give it a try! Be sure to encourage the wife/significant other and any licensed children to come along, it's a great family sport that helps everyone become a better and safer driver on the highway as well.
