It would be even better to meet people who actually participate in the sport, whether in the professional or amateur tracks, as you yourself have plans of trying your luck on the tracks. You could really use the help of some experts on how to improve and trick out your ride.
Not to worry, because if you read on, you'll find a list of organizations that you will probably want to join.

The SCCA is both a sanctioning body and a club. It supports road racing and rallying in the United States. Formed in 1944, one of the SCCA's unique aspects is its programs for amateur and professional racers, such as the club racing and the Solo program.
Indy Racing League
The IRL is the sanctioning body for an open-wheeled racing series that began in 1994 by breakaway member of CART. The series originally raced solely on oval tracks but as of 2004 has also held road-racing events such as a street race in Florida and two road courses in New York and California.
