HDPE (high performance driving event) or "track day". Costs about $225-325 for the day, you run your own car on a real track with over an hour (total) of on track time. Freakin major adrenaline rush.
Feb 29 is filled though. See this thread for more dates and organizations:

- change your brake fluid to dot 4 or better. Easy to get stuff: Valvoline Syntech brake fluid
- read up on the basics before you go
