Driving/Race School Suggestions?, After 11 years, I'm being forced.... Options

[D1A3]

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!

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!

Russell Racing school at Sears Point (now Infineon Raceway) in Sonoma CA. In the middle of wine country, great for post-school activities and play-time for your spouse/SO. Great little formula cars, tons of fun!

Barber runs a school at Laguna Seca/Mazda Raceway. Less stuff around for post-school/SO stuff, but another great track to play on.

LESS STUFF TO DO IN THE MONTEREY AREA?? You just don't know where to go....IMHO Laguna is a better track and there are few more picturesque areas in the country, plenty of good food and wine, shopping, golf.....what the hell is better in Napa....or Sonoma? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
