Well in means of actually being on the track, just watch how the other guys do. Talk to other riders, see if they race or not. Find some one in a your class that races and try to find out some stuff. Watch how they ride, try to keep up with them see what they do. Racing is very different from just riding on the track. On race day everyone wants to win, so the way everyone rides is more aggressive. You should practice and become well at cornering, jumping, being next to people and bumping bars just to name things very vaguely. As far as actual races, Ask a track rep or just google places to ride . KMC440 mentioned District 11. If it is AMA regulated you will need a year membership to race, which i think is around 50.

Not saying sale your bike, but a more modern bike will make things much easier for you. The worst thing a new person can do on a moto track is to be in the way. They faster riders will go by you so don't worry about them.

Good luck!
