Christmas is coming and I was thinking that since I cant afford to actually race, perhaps I would ask Santa for a "vacation" to somewhere.....somewhere where there just happens to be a good driving school. this way the wife gets to participate and the cost doesnt look so bad.

Although I have tons of road course seat time in the Camaro, I have very little formal training. None in wheel to wheel.

I would prefer someplace that uses American V8 cars, but its not an absolute.

All ideas are welcome

TIA

I did the four day school at Boundurant several years ago and enjoyed it. My only reservation is that if I went back I would make sure they understood MY goals for the time there. Ask hard questions about what to expect and what they will teach YOU. If you're going for fun it won't matter as much. If you have some specific skills you want to improve, get an understanding up front about how you will be evaluated and instructed.

If it doesn't have a gas guage, be sure to ask if the tanks full. Last day at Boundurant in the Formula Fords, the car stuttered on a lap and just thought it was a "cough" until it did it again the next lap and died on the front straight. After they come get me and take me to get another car the mechanic says I ran it out of gas, "You must have really been on it." Exactly.
