Lots of races at Brownstown, Salem, Bloomington and North Vernon with the MMSA. I believe AMSA has some at Charelston which shouldn't be to far from you.

Little Salem is a great place to start, Friday nights make it hard on us, the pay aint too good, the races are not crowded due to low car count plenty of racing room, one of the best mini sprint tracks around (period) when prepped right. Go for it SEAT TIME> SEAT TIME> SEAT TIME> have fun.
