I've done many events with PCA and BMCCA and, while it's not racing, it is high speed track driving, which is probably what you're looking for at this point anyway.

For side-by-side road course racing, look into SCCA and NASA, both of which offer plenty of amateur racing opportunities.

And if you have ambitions to ever go pro, start with go karts. Believe me, a shifter kart will get you around a road course faster than anything with doors on it.

Cheers :-)
