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

The Bridgestone Racing Academy is considered one of the best in North America and you get the US$ bang for the buck also. Just outside of Toronto Ontario.

are those the ones @ TMP ?
how would you compare them to TRAC that were in town w/ you and Elie ?

As it says above they are now at Mosport.

I did not attend the TRAC event. Do they run a racing school for a licence or just lapping?

they give license for lapping, if you pass the school with them... so they do both.
I know they give license in QC (acredited by the FAQ "Federation Automobile Quebec").. but don't know the legislation in ON... but figure it should not be an issue.
Best way is to check their website or I can ask them... 1 phone call away.

The TLC (TRAC) event that I attended in October on mosport's Grand Prix track was a lapping day rather than a school. However, TLC does operate schools throughout the year at Ste. Eustache, near Montreal. From the looks of things, they have an impressive list of instructors on board (read down on the thread)

It looks like completion of this course will qualify you for a licence of some sort, but this is in the process of being confirmed, as the Ontario governing body is different than the Quebec governing body.
Their first school for the '05 season is already coming together...

My impression of this group after spending the day with them on the track at Mosport is that overall they definitely know what they're doing and have a relatively high level of skill. I wouldn't hesitate to take one of their schools, from what I've seen.
