Check out the local PCA ( Porsche Club) and see when next they're running. You don't have to own a pcar to AX with them or at the BMW club either. Usually u can just show up and pay the entrance fee, if there's space available. I plan to AX in early April if I get my suspension done. I want to see how the car handles in a controlled enviroment.

I used to attend driving schools and lapping events with my C36. The car handled well and was nimble on the track, but was underpowered, especially when running with Porsche's and BMW's.
