How about volunteering to marshal with the VSCC? You do not need any experience to start with as will get placed on circuit with experienced people who will explain as time goes by or get placed in paddock and can chat with the owners.
Bonus is its free entry and usually you get food/drink tickets and you get to go to head of queues at food outlets.
Sadly with 2 hip replacements and both knees now bad my days of running the big boys paddock at Wiscombe have finished.
Just make sure you have good weather proofing as you can't just abandon your post if it rains.....once spent all day at Mallory in non stop rain out on circuit......exciting racing but in-spite of weather proof clothing was still soaked to skin and boots full of water.....but still grinning at end.
