Another option worth doing is something like Dave Murry track days - track goes green and you drive as much as you want in a day. They go around to different tracks and if the dates work for your schedule it's a good way to get a feel for them.

If you really start to get into it, daily running costs can be very high regardless of where...
Thanks Nate. Definitely understand that racing is very expensive. While I can see how it's different, I spent many years drag racing, which gets very expensive in a different way.

Cost is $15k lifetime membership, $2400 yearly dues and $165 per member day. Up to 40 member days a year. I have no idea if that's in line with other clubs. But apparently they have small run groups with only about 220 total members.

But this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!
Given your location, try NJMP, Summit Point, Watkins Glen, PittRace, and Mid Ohio. Don't join the NJMP club yet, get some experience at multiple tracks before making that kind of commitment. Chin (http://www.chinmotorsports.com/) goes to all of those tracks except Summit Point, and would be my first recommendation. At Summit Point (which is actually three tracks), try PCA Potomac, SCCA DC Chapter, or the Friday at the Track (FATT) Program.
