Default Driving School - Sideways School

FYI - Sideways School based out of Florida offers instruction from Tracks like Sebring or Homestead to drifting on closed tracks including Moroso. They use Nissan 350Z's for the school and you just need to get to the track - all the tires and car is provided.

Call 941-650-8948 for more information.
I don't think the web site www.sidewaysschool.com is up yet.

you can PM for more info.

Auto-X is fun, but not applicable to most daily driving situations, or even spirited weekend driving. IMHO, of course.

I suggested Auto-X because it gets one used to lateral G's, and in a spinout, most likely you'll only hit a pylon. A lot better than a dirt pit from a race track, or even worse, a light pole on the street. Graduation from one step to the next.
Videos, Auto-X, Track.

I did a lot or research on the class setup and even sat in on the classroom part when i was taking my AMA class at the performance track. I will be attending hopefully by the end of the year.

Cheers
