High Performance Driving Schools

[MichaelRW]

I've been toying with the idea of taking a class at one of those high performance driving schools like the Bondurant school in Arizona. The classes vary from a one day defensive driving course to an all-out get a racing license. I think I want something in the middle of that.

So, my question is, have any of you guys taken any of the driving classes and, if so, what do you think of it? Was it worth the money? Was it fun?

I havent taken any classes.  but i got my education on back country gravel roads!  Took every turn sideways from about age 16 to 19.

Friend of mine took the Bondurant course in Arizona.

He said it was unreal.

Definitely a must try.

I'd love to check it out sometime.

I think he told me it was about $2000.00 for the course he took.

Covered just about everything you'd need to know from reacting to road hazards, to consistently hitting the apex of turn at the optimum speed.

Go to the Skip Barber school.  You get to drive Vipers.

How many of you guys have tried the Richard Petty Driving experience? I have always wanted to try that. But not here at the Brickyard, I had always wanted to do it say at Darlington, or Talladega.
