Good points, but the crux of the problem for me is that specific class content, the ones mentioned above are not the same class.... I'm worried it's more geared towards new drivers than what *I* have in mind when I say car control. It's also on spec miatas, not fancier exotics, I don't mind, but that and the price points towards a lower level class... I'm SURE I can learn *something* even in that situation, but again, bang for the buck.... My track buddy says I'd be better off doing a racing school and go vintage racing with him ;-)

I'll call them again and discuss the syllabus... There's also that Rally school, a little further away, same price... I can guarantee I'd like that, it's the driving sideways that interests me right now !

As for "my DE's sucking", I don't think that's a fair assessment. I've been at many in California, PCA and private - remember tracquest?, now Florida suncoast PCA... I would not say that DEs are just not slanted towards letting you get out of control... The name of the game is learning to drive safely on a track. Get out of shape twice and you are out... That's fair enough, they got a specific goal and insurance issues to contend with...

My issue is that I'd like to get out of shape all day and see what that feels like, up to what slide angle can I go and catch it..... Up til now I've caught all my slides, had a few tank slappers but never really spun (except that one time at sears point where there was mud on the track and I missed concrete barriers by 2"). Where else can I cross the line so I can deal with it better when it happens.... ;-)
