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 Z28 |

I went through Skip Barbers 3 day school at Road America and Bondurants school when they were still at Sears Point. I liked the Bondurant school better probably because of our instructor, Brian Forster. It turns out he played the drummer on the Partridge Family sitcom when he was a kid and his grand father played Alfred on the Batman sitcom in the 60's. When we were in the skid car with him we all started singing "I Think I Love You". He didn't know we knew who he was and almost lost control of the car. I still hear from him from time to time when he needs tires.
