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

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.

Exactly.

Lapping and Solo1 are analogous to qualifying which to any race driver is just something you go out and do when it's your turn.

It may not be a practical alternative at this time but karting is a great place to learn race craft. After 2 or 3 competative seasons in 100cc two stroke or shifter karts you'd have a lot of races under your belt and handling yourself in a scrap would be second nature. You can also be really aggressive w/out having to worry about writing off an expensive car. I've found that the stuff I learned in karting translates to everything else that I do.
