Here's a good start: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=353425

First, define "race."
Second, if you mean road race, you will ALWAYS be racing for a lot of money, but none of it is for you.

Autocross ....
http://www.scca.org
Just show up with the car, your drivers lisence, find a guy with grey hair to show you around a little bit, if you got a helmet, bring it, if not most regions have loaners.
Great place to learn, the worst thing you can hit is a cone (scratch remover gets it off).

25$ sounds pretty cheap to me. It can get pretty pricey at certain tracks or race series.
