Default Starting Out Racing >> ?

I currently autocross my daily driver Integra LS 4dr 5sp. I want to try out road racing; I live in Frederick, MD. What's the solution? FATT day at Summit Point? NASA?

Thanks and I'm sure this is a repost so just link me if that's the case,
Ben

Start stock... yeah, that's a hoot, I wish, I'd have a lot of money still in my bank account.

Mods: Comptech Icebox, Foam Air Filter, 4-2-1 SS Header, SS Catback Exhaust, Carsound Cat, Koni Yellows, Custom Rate (400f/500r) Ground Control Coilovers, JDM ITR 23mm Rear Sway Bar, Neuspeed Front Upper Strut Tie Bar, Neuspeed Rear Upper Strut Tie Bar, Neuspeed Rear Lower Tie Bar, ES Shifter Bushing, ACT HDSS Clutch, Clutchmasters Lightweight Flywheel, Redline Tranny Fluid, 14x6.5 OE alloy wheels, Bridgestone Potenza RE930 rubber, [nothing after this point has anything to do with performance] 2001 front end, Catz 4500k HIDs, some audio stuff.

i think u misread tyson. he's just saying he spent a lot of $ on mods and if the car was stock he'd have $ in the bank.

in any case, DE days is what he needs to check out. i'm not familiar with the groups his area.

yeah, i realized i read it wrong after submitting, but after thinking about it, it still applies....

do as ghettoracer says, just do a couple DE, then tell us you want to race.

oh yeah and read my FAQ. look down at the sig...
