You can still get into racing on an amateur level if you have the time, money and dedication.
But you'll never be one of those "show up and drive" dudes that get paid millions.

I was 18 when I figured it out, shit sucks. Best you can hope for is to race in lower categories.
We'll never be F1 pilots but some of the most successful top tier drag racers are in there 40's and 50's

Are you in America?
>Start young
>Don't be American
>Meet the right people
>Be blisteringly fast (seriously you need to kick everybody's asses handedly in the lower classes, the only time you can not win is once you get to the top)
>Have lots of money
>Have a great personality that can lead a team and inspire the best in people
>Be great at promoting yourself
>Be lucky
>Be in the right place at the right time
>Have the ability to spend most of your waking hours traveling, driving or promoting yourself
>Have a team of people working to make you succeed
Protip: All the guys you see wash out had all these things. They just weren't able to perform at a pro level, or they got unlucky.
