Which driving school should we attend...
Given that my father-in-law wants to take me, his son, and himself to a driving school, which one should we attend?
I'm an intermediate-level DE track driver. I've built a 930-powered 911S longhood (from the crank up) and DE'd about a dozen times at Thunderhill and Sears Point. I consider myself to be an average-level DE driver with a fast car, but one who is not aggressive enough to ever be a competitive racer. I have a fascination with fixing machines but not a killer racer's instincts.... My brother-in-law is a 30-year-old with a Miata and a WRX. He has never done any track work but reads Car and Driver religiously. Want to know how much horsepower a '95 993 has? He's your man.... My father-in-law is a 60-something guy who has an appreciation for straight-line acceleration, but has never taken a corner at more that 50%. He owns a Chevy Impalla SS and always buys the highest-horsepower variant of whatever car he's buying that year. NOW, knowing the background, and knowing that I want to promote family unity over lap times, (because I can work on faster lap times at PCA DEs but will not be able to bond with my Father in Law at DEs), what driving school should we attend?

there is one at Laguna Seca, that appears to mix auto cross, car skills on the skid pad, and track time. I have seen thim out there when I am on the track.
Don't kknow much else, but they do mix vipers, dodge trucks, and formula dodges in to noe school, at least it appears that way. so a little bit of everything, jim
