Re: Skip Barber vs Jim Russell--racing school. Or another?
I did the skip barber driving school (2 day) last summer at Road America. It was a lot of fun, learned a lot. Drove around in neons, ran around a skid pad in dakotas, and then got to autocross in the srt-10 vipers. Lots of different people there. A few people in the 50's i'd imagine, 3 kids under 20 (one being myself) and then everywhere in between. All the people were very interesting too. I think there were about 11 people there. We split into 3 groups and learned how to brake, shift, correct and manipulate understeer/oversteer. A ton of fun and I learned a lot.

Agree in that Sports Car GT & GPL will help with developing a fast line but...
it of course misses that seat of the pants feedback so when the tail starts to come around in GPL, it's really hard to save. But agree in that I think these games help you work on smoothness and line.
