those cars are cool and all, but if i were you, id spend the $450 and use it on your car.

the driving schools that we all do dont require anything fancy. its all of our daily drivers, which means we also drive them on the street, which means we use our track knowledge on the street for the better.

if you do a school with your own car, you will learn the basics of your own car and will know how it handles left and right.

if you do one of these things, then you cant 100% transfer your skills to your own car.
im not saying dont do it, but for $450 you can get a full weekend at VIR with money to spare in your own car.

if it were me i would do a few myself, then goto one of these things, ive had many opportunities to run skip barber and petty schools and ive turned them down. im not saying you wont learn anything, i would just rather apply it to my car.
just my $.02

It would be a kick to drive an open wheeled racecar though.

well yeah.

i feel unless you are going to make a strict hobby/career out of it, or if you just have the extra money, then its not much better.
