There is one... Its called the SCCA.
Suitable level of safety - check (Safety is a funny one. There is such a thing as "too much", but a basic set of safety requirements is a must when competing. Including things like cages. As stated above: "When people race, we get ballzy, when we get ballzy we get stupid, we get stupid (without proper safety equipment) we get hurt.")
Reasonable cost - check (as reasonable as you want it to be)
Fairness - check (classes are fairly balanced with a variety of cars in each class. Not a run what ya brung, but if that is your thing, there is a place for that too!)

(Who is afraid that groups like this are going to be the end of club racing - when insurance premiums are out of control and track dates are no longer available... but not in that order!)
