Outside of gambling, there are few more surefire ways to blow wads of cash than to get into car racing. Ready to get started? Check out the American Racing Academy, also based at the Las Vegas speedway complex. Although the academy offers several half-day and full-day "experience" programs in sports cars and open-wheel race cars, the really bug-bit will sign on for the three-day Formula 2000 Program ($3,532 to $3,925), after which they will be licensed to race with the Sports Car Club of America, the largest sanctioning body in amateur racing. The big draw is the cars: full wings and slicks, 140-horsepower, real-time data acquisition and in-car radios.
