Steeda has all of the parts you will need to run on the track. Are you looking for a track day car or do you want to go wheel to wheel? NASA has track day that will get you out on the track. If you are looking at wheel to wheel you can go with American Iron or SCCA.

yeap, i am entering in one on sat...but keeping it "for the street" might be hard, because you will start running with some major power

Kaldar...

This might sound weird, but look up your local BMW Club. BMW Clubs hold rally races at local tracks and any make cars were welcome to join. They also hold Training sessions on the proper techniques to drive on a road course.

From these guys you will learn how to set your car up to get the best performance on a road course as well.

Good luck!
