Cpt_kludge summed it up pretty well. One thing I might add is that while I at first thought I knew how do drive on a track (I'd done it before a few times in years past) and that the classroom session was just something I had to do to get to the track, I was wrong. Danny McKeever's classroom instruction is all about tire and traction management, and minimizing lap times, and is easy to grasp. Further, the time on the skid pad learning about oversteer and understeer was nearly worth the price of the event in itself. This skid pad was about basic car control, not the 'Dukes of Hazard' trick stuff, which was also kind of fun. They don't do the trick stuff every time. Anyway, I learned a lot, and had all the track time I was comfortable with.

A map of the track is attached below.

They do limit enrollment to about 30 or 35 'students'. First come, first served.

I will be signing up for this May event.
