Most strips have test & tune days during the week, and depending on the crowd, you can run as much as you want. You get timed individually and makes no difference how fast or slow the car next to you runs.

Also hit up www.scca.com to find a region near you if you want to do more than go fast in a straight line. Click on "Find Your Region" on the upper right portion of the page. (http://www.scca.com/divisions.aspx)

The cheapest and lowest impact form of racing there is "Solo" Also known as Autocross. Pretty much the most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on![sm=smiley16.gif][sm=massbounce.gif][sm=massbounce.gif]

i'll agree with that one! except for if you take your car to an actual race track, like Road America
