When I did a bit of racing each blue moon, I had to have someone help me because I don't have the knowledge, space or equipment to do a proper job of preparing and setting up a car.
Latterly, I had my cars prepared by URS and I'd go straight back to them if I was racing still. My budget increased significantly of course, but I always had a very well prepared car. Ironically, it was also why I decided to pack it in. It was the only way that I was happy to go racing but when I stood back and dispassionately looked at the effective cost per hour to be in the car, I decided cold-turkey was the sensible option for me. I emphasise "for me" in case anyone gets sensitive.
