Also, I discussed the curriculum with the instructor... it sounds like days 1 and 2 of 3 will teach me next to nothing since it's learning how to shift, brake, pick your line, etc. Basic car control stuff that I think I've got a pretty good handle on from all the time trials I've done. Only day 3 gets into actual racing instruction. It sounds like a pretty expensive school for less than a day of new material. I would probably be better served by trying to find a different school w/ cars I fit in that would let me skip right to their intermediate school so I can learn some door-to-door (or wheel-to-wheel as the case may be) stuff. |
It's definitely overpriced, you're probably right about finding something else. I'd totally agree about day 1, when I went it was autocross, classroom and riding along. Day 2 was a mix of classroom, drills and track sessions; I did like some of their drills though (esp. the threshold braking exercises).
