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!! :eek:
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
