Take a Flat Track training school:

There are many fans of professional Flat Track racing who enjoy the roar of the twin- and single-cylinder motorcycles. They are lovers of the sport to the core and would make it to every round if they could, but you’d be surprised at how many fans have not been to a Flat Track training school. That’s okay. You’re not alone.

There are programs that avid fans and newcomers can take to get familiar with the sport of Flat Track racing. American Supercamp, Ride Academy and 10 Training are great training schools for anyone interested in riding on the dirt.
