Learning car control is even more important now that you can buy a car with 400hp+ going to the rear wheels. When you talk to them about it, stress the fact that it is a, "High Performance Driving School" and leave the, "Racing" part out.

If you take my advice, you will be thanking me. No doubt about it.
I took a Skip barber class in 88 also. Just took a refresher at Spring Mountain right before I bought the C5 Z06 in 2004. A driving school pays off huge dividends on the street.

Anyone driving a car with a weight to hp ratio of 15lbs per horse or better should definately take one.
