Damned Arrays

I knew it couldn't be hard but I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I just moved the declaration outside the method and it works now. Thank you for the quick lesson on scope. I didn't know you couldn't create a public variable in the method that would be available outside by using the public modifier.

accessing an instance of a class in another class

So like this right? It seems to work so I assume it's right

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace RacingRiot
{
    public class Race
    {
        public void DrawTrack(Car playerCar, Car aiCar)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nYou\n");
            playerCar.DrawCar();
            Console.WriteLine("\n\nopponent\n");
            aiCar.DrawCar();
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace RacingRiot
{
    public class Race
    {
        public void DrawTrack(Car playerCar, Car aiCar)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nYou\n");
            playerCar.DrawCar();
            Console.WriteLine("\n\nopponent\n");
            aiCar.DrawCar();
        }
    }
}

as an argument? Would you then have to copy it into a new instance of the Car Class inside that Race Class or can you just access the instances directly from the arguments passed in?

            Console.WriteLine("Try to beat the other racers on the screen by taking less guesses to guess the random numbers between 1-100.  For every one you get wrong the other cars move ahead by 5.  For every good guess you " +
                "move ahead by 25");
            Console.WriteLine("Are you ready? y/n");
            char startPlay = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;

accessing an instance of a class in another class

Race.cs Class where I'm having issues. And I know I can't say playerCar.DrawCar() cause it's an instance from Program.CS. Just trying to figure out the best way to pass it over.

            playerCar.DrawCar();
            Console.WriteLine("\n\nopponent\n");
            aiCar.DrawCar();
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

    public class Race

Why Do you have to Create an instance of a Class in some cases for methods and not others?

Makes sense but why can you use methods without creating objects in certain cases like on an array or variable? Is it because the object is already an instance of that type?
