I am interested in taking a 2-5 day race driving school. Road racing holds the most interest for me.

I have done a little checking, Bob B. looks interesting, Skip Barber, and so on.

I live in Missouri, so central part of the country is easier for me to get to.

Anyone have sugggestions or horror stories about the schools?

The insurance on the schools cars is also a factor, some will cover you and others just limit the out of pocket to 4-6K kinda expensive. It is like HMO's are running driving schools.

I put the Koni DA's on, so now I would like to be able to use them. :drive:

Thanks

I look at it the opposite of Steve. I would (and did) go to a school before I put more $$ in a car. Who cares if you have 800 hp, but don't know how to drive it.

As an example, this year at Willow Springs, the Vette/Vipers ran with us. I was REALLY cool being able to hang with this bad-a$$ Corvette in the big sweepers. Was he faster than me? By far, but only because he spent the money on HP. Those 12" wide hoosiers do you no good, if a lowly CMC driver gets 100% out of his car, and you get 50.

Anyway, I went to Proformance at Seattle International - the guys there are great. They limit the class to 8 drivers for 2 days, you get a TON of attention. If possible, I'd also recommend the advanced coaching class with Ross Bentley as well.

Big bang for the $$..
