I just called Skip Barber, they have a 2 day High Performance Driving School on Dec. 29 and 30 at Laguna Seca.

I'm thinking of doing this class and then go to Tahoe to play in the snow.

I'll be talking with the family about it.

Otherwise, if it happens I'll see you guys there.

I figure, sacrifice some car parts for he whole experience.... I am sure every penny would be worth it.

There is even a school somewhere on the east coast where the school uses the panoz!

True, driver is the most important but not everyone can fork out 4Gs.

I agree with the value of driving schools.

I did a BMWCCA school in May and they guaranteed 2-3 seconds off my lap times. I was always second in SM by 1-2 seconds. I am now 2-3 seconds ahead of second place.

Driving schools are good stuff.
