See if you can talk the parents into sending you to a Skip Barber course at the nearest track to you. The closest one to you may be Road Atlanta, but Southwest Airlines will get you there for $200. It's not cheap, but it's by far the best money I've ever spent related to cars. Plus, you get to flog some really high end machinery. When I went, it was all Dodges, but now they've gone with more Euro stuff.

Haha I'll probably go when I'm 18, what's a skip barber?

A driving school. You use their cars and their instructors. They use a bunch of tracks around the country. I'd recommend the 2 day high performance driving school to start. It's so much fun. You don't have to be 18. There were two sixteen year old girls in the course I took at Laguna Seca. Their dad wanted them to learn how to drive before they got their licenses. They learned to drive standard in a viper. Best dad ever.

HELL YEAH, okay that sounds fun, now how much was it?

Chuck33079 · 01-26-2014, 08:37 PM

It wasn't cheap. I'd expect it to be around $3k depending on airfare and lodging. But when you figure you're about to drop more than half that on performance parts and labor, it's a little easier to wrap your head around.

Fair enough

Chuck33079 · 01-26-2014, 08:45 PM

Get some instruction regardless of price. It can be as simple as having someone ride along at an AutoX. You've already got a very fast car that can get away from you in an instant. VDC is not going to always save you. You need to learn car control. The best thing I've learned from getting some professional instruction is how much room it takes to recover from a fuckup. That slowed me down a lot.
