Default I live in a culturally deprived area and want to go to the track

I just bought an 05 civic si, and i've got some decent yokohamas lying around... so what this comes to is I want to do a bit of amateur racing. I've never been out on a track before but my dad used to take stock cars out to mid-ohio and Nelson ledges... that was in the 70's though.. I'm in north West virginia and I'm an hour from Pittsburgh and about 2 hours from Columbus. Where could I take the car with minimum gear, helmet of course, and how much would it cost? anything, just take it out on the track, do amateur cones, anything at all. I'm just trying to get into it and would appreciate any help, info or jackass basement comments. Thanks <3

Beaver Run is the place to go.

Also look for local AutoX events.

word. I think track days are around 200, but totally worth it. You will have someone really experienced with you telling you exactly how to improve your driving. I did one last year and was awesome, I just remember them scolding me for not staying flat through turns 2&3 and for not getting close enough to they guy in front, even though i could barely see his bumper.
