First off, your not too old to get into racing. If I recall correctly, there was an IRL driver that didnt start racing until he was in his early 20's, and a few other drivers who didnt start until they were teenagers themselves.
Probably the best way to get into racing is to have connections, if you know people that are into racing, or if you can afford it, buy and/or build a race car, start practicing, and enter races. Other than that, thats probably the best answer I could give.

Alot of drivers now are starting in gokarts.They are inexpensive compared to cars.Once you started winning you could do like Carl Edwards and have calling cards made up to sell yourself.If you start winning in gokarts you may get noticed.
One other way is to get in with a race team doing anything.That connection may one day lead to something.
It wont be easy but stay with it.

There are drivers out there that started later than you. Check out local tracks on Nascar.com. There are some drivers from California check out their BIOs on the same site to see where they got their start.
