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

Spring Mountain in Parhump, NV has a number of driving schools, none of which I've taken.

But it's near Las Vegas, so might be a good way for the two of you to make it a vacation together.

My wife has done two Skip Barber schools, one at Laguna Seca, one at Road America. I'll see if she can't chime in with her experiences.

I did a couple of schools there back when it was Bragg-Smith and they still had Camaros. From what I've heard the good instructors are still there and the track and facility have been expanded and upgraded. I wouldn't describe it as "cost doesn't look so bad" though. IIRC you'll be looking around a $1,000 a day per person for the school plus travel, hotels and meals. Budget allowing my wife wants to go for our 25 anniversary (I love that gal!)
