Last week I went through the Derek Daly Academy 4-Day Formula Racing School program. It was a total hoot. I wrote up a fairly comprehensive review at http://www.heumann.com/daly

enjoy......

Redcar Guy - I have a few friends who've done that school - they had a great time. I hope you have the chance to go!

Carguy,

I noticed you live in CA.. I know you go out with porche club and stuff, but have you ever gone to the road course with NASA/Open-track? I am out there once in a while and it is a blast and very instructional. A few weeks ago I went out to willow springs and there were lots of vipers and porche 911 turbos

check out http://www.nasaproracing.com
and http://www.open-track.com

They usually circulate around all the great tracks on the west coast. I've so far been to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Willow Springs Raceway. Most fun I've had with my clothes on

I haven't, but I know they're good guys. I run with tracquest (http://www.tracquest.com) mostly - but I only do a few events a year - I don't have the time, interest, $$, or family situation to support doing it more often. But its enough for me. Running on great tracks in cool cars - it doesn't get much better than that!

Greg,

I was checking out the website for trackquest just now... and noticed that it's $500 for a two day event!!

You should come out with the SoCal Alfa Romeo Owner's Club some time... any make/model car is welcome, and there are usually more Porsches than Alfas anyway

The events are always two days (Sat & Sun) and the club runs at Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, Laguna Seca, California Speedway, and others. Price is between $170-200 depending on the track (Laguna being the most expensive)... and you get LOTS of track time.

Check it out... there's a schedule at http://www.arosc.org
