Look up the SCCA and see where they're located in your area. Says Michigan in your tag so check this out here: http://www.wmr-scca.org/.

We are just across the border if you want to check out our events. Low C$ makes it pretty cheap too.

Oh man, and you're in Michigan?! Saw your other rallycross video as well, looks like a ton of fun and more my style. Would love to do both...working on a rebuild after a low speed wreck this winter, maybe I'll see you at an event once I get it together...

Thanks for the info!
