Anyone know of any good driving schools in or around So Cal? Preferably with their own cars so I can flog somebody elses ride.

 

Hey Trojan Horse,

I just sent you an e-mail. Both wanabe and I would also be interested in going to a performance driving school. Let us know what you find out.

 

Autodynamics! I'll get their phone number. Highly recommended by the folks on NPR's "Car Talk." I got my Snell helmet. I'm ready!

California Sports Car Club (also known as CalClub), is a Southern California regional SCCA club who put on a performance driving school at Button Willow on a regular basis. It's called their "Super School" and is listed on their calendar at http://www.calclub.com/2001_calendar.htm. Their next school is June 23-24.

They had a booth at the Long Beach Grand Prix and I picked up a flyer. The flyer has a lot more information than the web site. (I generally find the entire Southern Pacific Division SCCA web sites to be useless for anything other than schedules and results. There's very little information for the novice or beginner.) If I remember, I'll try to post additional info from the flyer when I get home tonight.

Trojan Horse,

I just got an e-mail from a friend of mine that I'll forward to you. He was talking about a NASA even happeneing on April 21 - 22. It's happening at Buttonwillow. Check out this web site for more info.

Also keep an eye on http://www.solo2.com events for an SCCA Auto-X driver school we put on about once a year. Probably not as much fun as road racing at Buttonwillow but more applicable to Solo 2 and Prosolo racing.
