Yes, I have a friend who went to BOndurant, and said it was the best. I'm going either this fall or next spring.

My mom did Jim Russell racing school when it was at Laguna Seca, and at the end they give you completion cards that says you have had the class or something and can keep in you wallet. . . Wouldn't it suck if you had that in your wallet and accidently pulled it out if an officer pulled you over?

Oh well, her friend had a video camera we were watching these guys drive some big *** passenger van, full of people getting a demo of how to drive the track, being thrown into turns and going through the corkscrew and such. . . Very Impressive.

It might not suck. If they know you're a better driver than the average driver, you might be more likely to get a break.

I went to the Road Atlanta driving school a few years ago. It was the best thing I've ever done for my driving skills. I think everyone should go to a real high performance driving school. You'll be amazed what you can learn to do in your little family sedan. Also, you'll stop asking quesions around here like "Why do my tires sqeal when I go around turns fast?" and "Damn, I just spun out for no reason...what happened?"
