Laguna was incredible!
Monterey was even more incredible and I can not wait to go back!
At the track, if you are standing at the top of the corkscrew, you can see the Pacific. It is truly amazing!

Loved my SBRS experience. Going back for more later in the year.
Even after racing for years, and attending other schools, going to the Skip Barber school was a huge plus.
They are pretty big in helping you understand a bit of vehicle dynamics, and how your actions can effect grip, etc.
The instructors did a great job of moving me out of my comfort zone, so you can explore the car at the limit.
Worth every penny!

I had a not-so-good instructor last April at VIR. He made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy. I just
didn't want him in my car. I got a different person and had a blast. It's all part of the learning experience.

Summit is scarier than VIR. Less run-off and narrow pavement. If you keep your speed down...
... on VIR's front & back straights, you will have very little to worry about. In most cases, if you blow a turn at VIR, at noob speeds, you just go wide and use more or all of the track; and if you go off, there's almost always a lot of room.

That would be Miriam...
she's instructed with Porsche Club, BMW Club and Corvette Club in addition to Audi Club, and did the Audi Club Teen Driving Clinic in 2005/2006. She does pack a lot of knowledge into her 1 day program. :-)
