Laguna Seca/Skip Barber

I just returned from a racing class at Laguna Seca. You guys who live in the bay area need to drive that track. It is EPIC. I can say it is just awesome. The school is not cheap but it was truly first class. The open wheeled cars they use are a blast. All the instructors are big fans of the RX-8! You would not believe how fast you can make a 8 go on that track.

Oh I paid for the car. The wife just picked it up at dealership. The Class was $1,500.00 That track is just sick. If you live in Cali you are crazy not to put it on your list. I will go again. I'm going to start saving now.

I'm guessing you did the one-day performance driving school. I did the two-day at Laguna Seca and it was also an awesome once in a lifetime experience! If you plan on going back you can read my lengthy review to see if it's worth it for you:

I've been wanting to go for years. I planned on going this year but I got stiffed on two bonus checks in a row and I can't pay off my credit cards.

I am going, I just don't know when.
