It's really that simple! Depending on which club/organization you plan to run with, you may need to get your car inspected for safety precautions, but other than that, get a helmet and just make sure your car is safe, ie: brakes, tires, etc.<br /><br />No need to start modding your car for the track...run what you got and learn your car first. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SteveL</b> <br /><small>Member # 1241</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,8,26,13,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Get a helmet; sign up for an event; go.<br /><br />Really the best thing if you're not too far from a track, is look at the schedule and go as a spectator.

Except for NASA who charges for parking and a passenger badge (I think it's still $15), it won't cost anything.<br /><br />Here's a list of a few local club websites to check out.
