Newbie needs advice - What to buy - Where to begin?

I hope its appropriate here for someone who just discovered this sport to ask for some overall pointers. I've read the incredible 'Hard Drive' article in this month's WIRED [link lost in import] and been subscribed to this newsgroup for several weeks. By the way, thank you Michael E. Carver for the keeping current this newsgroup's FAQ. It is clearly written, to the point and most helpful. Described in terms of 'Beginner', 'Intermediate', and, 'Advanced' - what hardware/software will I need to own in order to participate in the Hawaii and Nascar Online racing. I have both Mac & Windows available, so the operating system is a non-issue here. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Alan Mitchell
