Default Driving school options

New triangle-area owner here.

This is my first high-power RWD car. I'm interested in track school so that I can better learn the dynamics of the car (and so that I can avoid becoming one of those "I was going around a corner and before I knew what happened I was in a ditch" stories). The Tarheel Sports Car Club requires a four-point roll bar for convertibles, so that won't work. What are my other options?

Thanks.

Attend a few autocrosses and attend a track day at CMP or Roebling road.

Yes I also would like to go to a driving school or two. I want to do some HPDE's also I think that will help out alot having a instructor in the car with you. There is a auto cross here in Wilmington on Sept. 26th.

Track days are great. The first couple times you hit a track you'll have an instructor in the car with you. That's a great learning experience, plus getting to drive 9/10s on the track. Look for track days at Roebling Road in Savannah,GA, Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC, etc... and don't forget your helmet!
