Open Track in NYC area

Is there anywhere with Open Track time in the greater NYC area (within 2 hours drive) that does not require racing license. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can't just roll up to Limerock and jump on the track. It has to be through a club event or driving school.

Not as nice as Watkins or Limerock, but Pocono race track is the closest to NYC, and I think the only one thats under 2hrs.

Lime Rock is 20 minutes from my house... and it's my favorite track, so far.

I'm running at Pocono... June 19th... anyone else going?
