Default Where to get a competition license or racing certificate in MA

I am new to road racing and it appears you need a valid competition license or a certificate from an approved racing school to run on either New Hampshire Speedway or Lime Rock.

How do you get a competition license?

Does anyone know of any racing schools located around Massachusetts where you can get a license or certificate?

Thanks

do you mean "run on" like for fun, or like actual racing banging cars together and junk.

because if you want to "just" get on track, you dont need a license. Sign up for an HPDE.

of course, if you already knew this, disregard what i've said.

Yeah just for fun. Not looking for anything official.

So just signing up for an HPDE I dont need any special licenses or certs.

you get an instructor to show you around the track and teach you car control. Its a great time.

HPDE's are a blast. I have been doing them for 2 years and I can't get enough. If you are interested in a competition school in your area check http://www.interlakeninn.com/local/skipbarber.html

I did Skip Barber's 3 day Race School at Lime Rock and highly suggest it if you have the means and want to really learn. As I just put in your other thread, check out COM Sports Car Club for HPDEs and Time Trials.
