Your going to get directed to the faq here, but I'll tell you start with HPDE (high performance driver education) if you want to gain track experience in your AP1. There is a must do list if your going there, and most HPDE providers will insist upon some basics like: safe amount of tread depth on tires, freshly bled brake fluid (high temp fluid is a must IMO), new front pads at a minimum (you might be able to get away with OEM your first time out but after that a track compund brake pad is going to be a must), and obviously you want to check your fluids. Where do you live? That will determine how far you will have to drive and what clubs will sponsor the event. Good luck.

Check out the appropriate sections of the FAQ and check with your local subforum for local tracks to check out Great to see the interest in tracking your S2000!

Where are you located? if we know what city, it's easier to tell you about local clubs that you can sign up with.

You have Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, and Sears Point (Infineon) in Sonoma, and Reno fernley is close as well.
check out the following clubs if you want to sign up for HPDE:
-Hooked on driving http://www.hookedondriving.com/home.cfm
-North California Racing Club http://www.ncracing.org/
-Trackmasters http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/
-TEAM Racing http://home.onemain.com/~bonster/
-NASA http://www.nasaproracing.com/norcal/
-BMW CCA Golden gate chapter http://www.ggcbmwcca.org/
I am sure there are more organizations, maybe other members can add them here.
if you're just starting out, I would go with Hooked on driving or NASA.
hope that helped

Whoever you decide to drive with, be sure to make sure your car meets their requirements (if any) for open top cars.
