I'm not sure why anyone would pay that much for that kind of training.
Between NEQ and NAAC alone there are 12 driving schools to chose from this year. While I'm sure that Barber's instructors are more experienced than the ACNA instructors, you really have to be at a high level to benefit from the difference.

were's the love for the NJ Chapter? :-P
Ok so we encourage people to sign up for the NEQ's events as we work to get out own school developed, probably in a year or so.
As far as skip is concerned, I think they do teach you things that you just can't learn as easily in a 4k lb awd car. That's why we ran a combo school with Bertil Roos last year. Driving a race car teaches you handling and weight transfer that sometimes gets lost when you drive these modern cars with all the aids. I wouldn't attend the driving schools at skip unless you really like losing money or want to drive someone else's car.<ul><li><a href="http://neqclub.org">http://neqclub.org</a</li></ul>
