For those that have done the Skip Barber Three-day Racing school, what are your impressions of the class? I'm thinking about it, but it is a chunck of change, so I'd like some feedback.

Thanks

I did Skippy's school but it was a long time ago.
If I had it to do over I would do Bertil Roos.
The have winged cars, bigger motors, and no rev limits.
Plus a friend of mine is an instructor.

Either way, you will have a good time.

Brad-

Do it. The Formula Dodge cars suck- street tires, no wings, etc... but it's not what the car has that matters, it's what the car teaches you. No grip, mechanical or aerodynamic, teaches you to respect the car. Wings and slicks are a good driver's aid, but mask mistakes much better.

I suggest doing the Three day school, followed by the Elf school if you have the moola...
