the only motorsports job i'd want, aside from actually driving, would be to work for a magazine.
anything else (helping a race team, working on actual tech) is not conducive to my life at this time OR i don't have the expertise... and it's not something i could attain while still holding a regular job.
so back to being a writer. i write pretty well, i know a good amount, and the only way i really see breaking in (without an appropriate education) is getting noticed. to aide that, i have a blog. it has been seen by many, and it has actually resulted in me getting an offer to write for an auto site. the site hasn't come to fruition yet, but if that takes off, i could see it leading somewhere.
basically, blogging = my best ticket right now.
