Expansion on autocross events could help with that some. It's usually 50 bucks or less and you can throttle your car out without the law looking over your shoulder. It's often done in a large open concrete pad so you don't have to worry about understeering into a wall or spinning out.

EDIT: You don't even have to have special cars or equipment. At all of my local events all safety equipment is provided if you race in the lower classes. Usually just a helmet.

I LOVE road courses...but it's so expensive to go on a track day.
