Default It is $1300/person, but then take travel and all that into consideration.....

It was an easy $5K+ for my dad, bro, and me.

Default I've been to PCA events, not ACNA. You can't really compare to Skippy 2 day driving school IMO...

You learn a lot of stuff at Skippy that you wouldn't learn from an instructor on the track (controlled oversteer with proper recoverey, emergency lane changes, threshold braking with and without ABS, more in depth yet still basic classroom stuff, etc).

Default Is that a standard 944 turbo body or does it have a WB kit installed?

Makes ACNA Club events seem like a bargain

Default Suitable for the Gran Prix days. LT1's...ahh I remember my friend's '94 Pontiac Formula...

Just go fast bits. When conservative, do the 1-3 then 3-5 shift. That 944 must be stupid fast!

Default I was just a few miles up the street at Hotchkiss School for a wedding...

I wouldn't have minded taking that class instead.

Default I enjoyed it when I did it a few years ago.

I was in a wedding this weekend and had no free time. I would have tried to meet up with you at some point otherwise.
