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! |

OK, so here is what I'm thinking...
What about doing the Porsche Driving School at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham? Has anyone done that? Or, I could do Skip Barber at Road Atlanta... If I did Skip Barber, what should I do the two day High Performance Driving school or the three day Formula school? Both look like a lot of fun and would teach a lot. Thanks for all of the feedback so far! Regards, Jason |

Regards, Jason The Porsche Driving School at Barber Mortorsports is certainly on my bucket list. I have talked with some of the folks who work there and it sounds great. I have also talked with someone who has done a class at Barber and he said it was well worth the money and plans to do another one. |
