It depends on what track, and whether you mean like going to wakefield or doing drag runs....e.g. wakefield you can just pay for a wakefield track licence, and the day fee etc. For other tracks you may need a cams licence or be affiliated with a club. Do a search on the track, or be a bit more specific so the members can assist you.

what state do you live in? not sure if its any different here than any where else...

but at qld raceway where you can race on the sprint track... all you need is the aasa license (which costs you about $50 plus filling out a sheet)... a helmet and be present during the race briefings before the day...

if you were talking about what you need done to car... all new fluids and filters, good condition brake pads, rotors and tyres...

hope this helps a little...

I'm in melb. I mean like can you just go to a track and have a few runs? Safety equipment?

You will need a helmet at the least; it need to have a current safety rating sticker on it... will read SAXXXX something like that a motorbike one isn't acceptable and the safety rating starts with MXXX something; I can't remember exactly off of the top of my head but Car and Motorbike helmets are made to different standards thus not 'compatible' with one another shall we say

Best having a look on the CAMS website for the exact regulations n stuff
