I attended the 3 day Daly school a couple of years ago. They have a STACK data aquisition systems in each car. It records various parameters like, MPH, RPM, G-loads, etc. After each run, they download your car and you can look a your performance on a laptop. The graphical output is cool, the sensors actually create a track map, and you can see the results graphically. They can overlay the instructor's performance (or your different laps) on your screen. It's very helpfull to compare braking points, turn in points, etc. You can really improve your times when you know where you are losing time to someone faster.

I would also repeat what others have said. Be mentally prepared before you go, (read books, watch tapes.) Get the damage waiver insurance, then push the car to its limit and beyond. I wasn't fully prepared, and I basically wasted the first day "getting my mind right!"

Be ready to fully explore the limits of a race car before you go, otherwise, you won't fully get your money's worth.

All an all, it was a blast.

P.S. I was at the school when Stallone was "learning to drive" for that joke of a movie. He trashed a car while we were there. He had a whole track to himself for several days at a time. An un-named person told me "he drives like rambo, no finese, just brute force!"
