Okay, crazy question. Are there any tracks in the NC area or close that are like the Nurburgring in Germany, what I mean is, a track that you can just show up, on an off race day, and pay to do laps?

I want to take my car to the track, but I don’t want to pay $300 ish dollars to do it, aka driving school or class.

Negative. I would strongly advise you go to a driving school anyways. Do a Tarheel CCA event at VIR. The next one is in early March, although it is probably full now. The only other open road I can think of is the Tail of the Dragon, Rt. 129 on the NC/TN border. That is as good as it gets in this country.

what do i need for the VIR event? Helment and ....?

littering and... littering and... littering and....

smokin' the reefer...

(sorry, for some reason that just popped into my head)

back on topic, i'm looking into a driving school sometime later this year too... gotta collect some more funds though

I think it is now SA2000 helmet and $300. They offer great instruction and a very well run, safe event. You could also look up Tarheel Sports Car Club or look at trackschedule.com for other similar events at VIR, CMP, Roebling, Rockingham, or Road Atlanta.
