Default Car start problems

alright. this is going to sound wierd but tell me what you think

I beleive my car doesnt start because there is no ignition. I tried everything to turn it on but nope, it wont start.

Now i have noticed something

I have noticed that this only happens on sat, sun, and thursday mornings. ON friday, sat and wednesday nights, I go to the races close to my house and i do a couple of races. and the nights that i do race, the car never seems to start the following morning. Do you understand

Like friday night i race, park it in my garage, wake up sat morning and it wont start. This only happens when i race the night before. I cant figure out why this happens

What you guys think?

It does make a clickin noise. I can also hear the fuel pump humming. When i go to the engine bay and listen (when my bro trys to start it), it sounds like its injecting fuel or something. That sound comes from the fuel rail. but these are the only sounds i hear.

Try a new battery, yes the radio will work, and yes everything would light up, but most likely its a new battery, if a jump start works then thats your problem.
