Default beginner here...testing and tuning question

ok, im planning on doing some certain things to my 1989 ef hatch to make it a little road warrior. im really not looking to get heavy into road racing or autocrossing right now because im going to school and money is a factor. my main question is it possible for me to do certain modifications to my car and actually test and tune my car on a road track. sort of like freestyling or just running my car on a track without competition. i know its an expensive hobby and thats why i dont want to get heavy into it. im in the chicago midwest area. any info you got i will take.

thanks

Nasa HPDEs would be a good start.

Check Nasa website for trackdates

See if your college has a Formula SAE program. Also check your school for Motorsports clubs etc.. That's where you should begin.

Why do I even bother when no one reads it?
