Default Good Performance Driving Schools

What are some good driving schools in the PTG area? I think I would prefer some type of autocross school first before I do any track driving/school.

Now that is a deal too good to pass up. Are you sure you can handle the 8k-9k blast!

my suggestion is just go do an autocross and participate...you'd learn so much about your car. i'd go with you if you wanted. I have a ton of autocross experience.

but to more specifically answer your question i'd visit the racing and competition forum and they'll give you some opinions. Skip Barber has been the route taken by thousands of racers and rich old farts who don't know what to do with their money. It's expensive...you can do it at summit and mid ohio..not sure about beaverun but i'd much rather be at midohio.

Thanks for the replies. I can not wait for the weather to break so I can start driving the S again.
