why re-invent the wheel? there are already great clubs that cater to people that are interested in handling.

road racing: NASA, SCDA, PCA, track time 4 cars, etc.
autocross: SCCA, PCA, Motorsports Northeast, etc

There's plenty of great clubs in the northeast. Many of us are out there almost every weekend. Plenty of track days around here where you can get passed by those slow imports.
