Hey guys, I really want to start going to tracks( courses, not dragstrips) but I'm not sure where to start. I am completely new to this and about the only track/autox experience I have is at the bmw pdc in SC when we picked up my brother's m3. My question is where do I start? Do I need to go to a driving school, or do I just call up a race track nearby and ask for schedule and info? And for those that have experience, what tracks on the southeast coast are appropriate/fun for novices like myself? I've always wanted to utilize the performance cars I get for something other than the occasional spirited drive on unpredictable public roads. Any help, links, info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
