Hi Folks,
After 11 years, my company has notified me I have to take a minimum 4 week PAID sabbatical (can extend it up to 10 weeks with stored vacation I have) by the end of the year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Among things like going places I've never been and spending some quality time with the family, I'm interested in taking a driving program at one of the driving/race schools and getting some quality time to not only become a better driver, but also go REAL fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Any suggestions? I'm open to most anything so long as it is somewhere in the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Thanks for your opinions! Regards, Jason PS: Any other once in a lifetime things you wish you could do (with or without family) are appreciated too. I've got to start planning now! |

Many clubs offer instruction for free in your car. The POC, for instance, the LA based Porsche Owner's Club has STS events that allow you Sat. & Sun. on the track with an instructor in your car all day both days if you want it and 1/2 day of classroom on Sat for just over $250.00. You need a car, (rental?) a helmet, ($10.00 rental from the track) a long sleeved cotton shirt and some jeans and shoes that won't burn much.
I once heard a story about a guy who competed in the SCCA solo showroom stock competitions all around the country in rental cars. He would ship his wheels with sticky tires to the track, fly in, rent a Mustang 5.0 GT, go to the track and change wheels & brake pads, dump the antifreeze, race it all weekend and return it on Monday. It was like $75.00 a weekend for the Mustang at that time, cheaper than owning one. I cannot verify this story at all. Don't call me out, I got nothing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
