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 |

Just keep in mind that learning how to do some lapping in your car and learning how to race and obtain a licence are two competely different things.
If you intend to go door to door racing do not go cheap on a course just to be licenced. You would not be doing yourself or the people around you any favours. |
