nice! I have been wanting to get into that type of racing and or auto cross. How hard is it to get into a club or organization that does so. i have had a hard time finding any information online and most website make it seem really hard and complicated to get to the point were you can actually race.

There are a lot of car clubs that organize "Track Days". My son and I belong to the local Mercedes Club (but don't own a Mercedes). We joined years ago in order to run in their track events (autocross and various tracks). My son also is a member of the SVT organization as well. They run lots of track events, but few or no autocross events. Track events will usually cost anywhere from$160 to $200 per day at the track.
Autocross is actually competition, of course, but running against a clock, one car at a time. The track events are more of a driving school with no passing in turns, etc. Each club will have their own rules - the Mercedes Club breaks it down into 'groups" based on experience and has instructors for each novice. But do try this out. You will find that you will become a much better driver as a result of participating in autocross and track events. Good luck to you!!

Scca
The SCCA is nation wide. Here's a link to the main site. From there you can find a local region to sign up for. You dont need to be a member, but you pay less for each event.
