Thumbs up

Locate your nearest Skip Barber driving school/class. Can be found at many road race tracks.

well at least he's getting alot of seat time on the track.

i wish i could do that..


as for the performance driving schools

if u want to save money. attend the Buttonwillow Raceway high performance driving schools. they're inexpensive. and pretty informative. they have class room instruction and an instructor goes out with you.

I would do the Driving Concepts HPDE. One on One insturction by accomplished people, not some yaw hoo with an EVO and a heavy right foot. Skip Barber and Bounderant are also good schools. but VERY expensive.

Speed Ventures is pretty much a track co-op situation and I wouldn't share the track with some of the drivers with them.
