I have been thinking about attending the Mid-Ohio performance driving school for a few years now. At $575, it is not cheap, but no more expensive than the iPod, cards, and cables I just bought yesterday.

There was a lot of talk in a former thread about people who wanted to attend a track day, or driving school. Personally, I would rather do the driving school, in my car. At $575, it includes instruction and safety equipment. And best of all, in addition to the skidpad, autocross, and slalom, there is 45 minutes to an hour of laps around the track !!!!! Here is a link to the Mid-Ohio School

If there is enough interest, we could definitely do this. There are only a limited number of dates available. Here is the schedule as of this morning. I would propose July 11, 2003, but look at the schedule and vote for your preferred month. Remember, this is Central Ohio, and April and October tend to be a bit chilly and wet.

So, here is a poll. Please vote honestly. If you want to attend, be sure to post a reply with your name and be prepared to fork over a deposit (50%) in check or money order, in relatively short order after we get a date confirmed. Until there is a deposit though, there is no guaranty of any date. So, the date may change subject to availability.


Here is the quote from the Mid-Ohio person from the original thread:

It involves the downshift/braking drill, autocross drill and competition, slalom drill, our skid car drill. Following the drills and autocross competition, each student laps Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, with instructors leading the groups, for 45 minutes to one hour. The instructors make a memorable learning experience and everyone will leave
with a smile!

The cost of our group/corporate days $575 per person with individuals using their own car. This price applies to a minimum group size of 18 individuals and a maximum of 24. It is an all-inclusive price which includes a continental breakfast, lunch and related safety equipment including helmets.

If you find the individuals in your group prefer to use our fleet of Acura RSX Type-S cars for the drills and/or on-track, the cost is $650 per person.
