Where can normal people race their cars legally?
Are there any race tracks which allow normal people to bring their cars and drive on the track for a fee?

If so, where and how much?

I live in the Washington DC area (northern Virginia, actually)

Thanks!

Mostly drags, but a few track days and auto-x.

I'd race the Chapmeister and his non-kleemannized car (hint hint buy kleemann now lol) but he's on the other side of the world.

S7 vs S8? That'd be a pretty close race. But then again that's his car and not yours. 3.3yrs left? By that time even though you maxed out your mods a stock 2009 CLK would still beat you. lol

Ok, I just checked out the sites... Chin Motorsports looks pretty hardcore, while Car Guys seems like the best for a novice like me.. as for the GWS-MBCA... it looks like they're all oldies with classic MB cars.. maybe I can join them 25 years from now.. :-)

I would recommend trying them all for as much seat time as possible!
