Anyone taken this course? I gave myself a Christmas present to take the course and will be taking the two day course this week, Feb 15 & 16.
If you took the course, how did it go? |

I did get a certificate for driving with an instructor for a couple of hours on the coarse. My buddy did this in a GT3 and threw up, as it was so fast and exciting.
They just radioed to come in and a crew cleaned him and the car and they went right back to out on coarse jamming. I am going to take the mid engine cars out. They do give instruction. Also had dinner at restaurant 917 and it was great.

I did the one day Driving Experience several years ago at Barber Motorsports track in Alabama, and it was an excellent experience. Where else could I drive 4 different P-cars that I didn't own! Long years ago I was an SCCA club autocross junkie, my romping bug-eye Sprite with a few upgrades at the time. That was before life and wife came along, and I have owned a Cayman in addition to my 914. I was interested in how far out I could hang my Cayman, and this was the answer.
