What part of Mass? Lime Rock is in the very north-western tip of CT.

You are about 80 miles from NHIS and 180 from LRP. Never been to NHIS but LRP is worth the trip.

NHIS is your closest. (http://www.nhis.com) They're about an hour away from Lynn. You know... where they do the NASCAR racing.... same track.

They have a road course there also... which is used more than just the oval track.

Limerock is about 2.5 hrs away from Lynn... in CT. (See above) http://www.limerock.com

In upper state NH, there's a 'club' racetrack that was supposed to be finished about 2 years ago... http://www.clubmotorsports.com/ That's upper NH in Tamworth... who knows when it's going to be finished.

What, specifically are you looking for tho? The season is just about over up here.

Don't forget, Valley Motorsports Park in Tamworth: http://www.clubmotorsports.com...63647

Never been there but it always looked interesting.

Its VTEC. I would keep the car stock until you really are comfortable with it in stock form. More power will only hinder your progress as a driver. Maybe check out some NER Region autocrosses in the spring, I started doing autocross and I think it is a good place to build good car control skills without much rick to yourself or the vehicle.
