Hey guys,
How are the SCCA street schools? Are they worth it? Do you really learn alot for the money? Is it well organized?

Thanks for your responses.

 

I just posted a reply to the NASA HPDE question in this section and you may want to look at it.

I have also instructed at a few SFR SCCS street schools at Thunderhill.

My opinion is that a student gets more instruction at an SCCA street school. I believe there is more track time than NASA but I haven't done an SCCA school in a few years. I also think the SCCA one costs more.

Go out and give it a rip, its fun.

 

However, I was told that the school requries the nomex helmet, shoes, suit, and gloves-too pricey for me! Also, I was told that this was a school for those interested in advancing to racing situations. This is not my goal-for now.

All I want is to learn how to drive at high perfomance safely and just to have fun on the racetrack from time to time.

Lastly, I want to learn how to autocross and to do this from time to time.

If I was given the wrong info and this school is for me, please let me know!

Thank you.

 

Come on over and join us at the Northern California Racing Club!

You'll get instruction and tons of tracktime in a safely run event.

3/28 at Thunderhill is our next event. We don't run Autocross events, though.
