Thumbs up Driving Class?

Has anyone in the Tampa area taken a driving class?

Looking to perfect my shifting/braking skills.

From what I hear there is Sebring on the east coast.

There are some of us that don't mind pointing you in the right direction.
I took a driving course for my job in the military that will make you smile.
I get back Pres day weekend and will get my S back on the road.
Shoot me a PM and maybe we can have a small group head out to Sebring, or if there is another place locally around that anyone else knows about.


Cheers

Good for the Quarter at max thrust.

Mine are more geared at offensive, defensive, and shooting while moving at 90 mph.
Not teaching the last part. Just watch TV, that will say enough.

When we had that Woody's BBQ Meet Nick (Ztec) was saying that he instructed at Sebring and that a group lesson would be a fun but difficult thing to set up.

Thanks guys. I am definately going to look into the Sebring classes.

I will let everyone know when I decide to go. In case anyone else wants to join.

I'd really like to take a Panoz class, but it's kinda pricey.

As already noted check out Chin Motorsports. Nick is real good friends with the owner so I'm assuming that's where he does some of his instruction. I took a weekend class at Roebling outside of Savannah, Ga. last year and hope to make 1 or 2 of them later this year. It was an absolute blast and very affordable IMO.
