Yep all of the above.

FAST, SCCA, BMWCCA all do Auto X. see myautoevents.com

PCA, PBOC, SAFE and Chin all do track days, at Sebring and Moroso.

There is a sticky with the complete schedule.

The sites are not as nice as in SoCal, but you can autox 2 or 3 weekends a month here,

Kiss that goodbye -- Florida isn't quite as bad as the Midwest when it comes to characterless roads, but it's close. I do so miss mountain roads!

There are some OK roads north of Dade City...pale in comparison, though.

If you are with the SCCA and want to go to Topeka the National Tour comes to GA.

I see the mini, are you in GS?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
