    In what venue can I drive my car?

    I have a GTD that I am trying to find a good way to drive on track. NASA makes it pretty easy to drive without a lot of red tape. I do not want to drive it wheel to wheel at this point. Has any one driven SCCA in a GT40? So far my talking to them makes me think that is not where I need to be...
