I have mentioned here and there about participating in autocross, which is an amateur form of autoracing that is relatively safe and economical. You are racing against the clock, not wheel to wheel. And whenever I try to explain it to people, I can just tell that what they're imagining doesn't match reality.
Below is a well-produced news segment explaining what autocross is. I need to remember to link to this every time someone asks me to explain autocross.
If the embedded video doesn't work, use this link [racingfilm.com].
Oh, and the 2008 Autocross National Championships [scca.com] is next week.
