@ Thunderhill, we have what are called "street schools" that are instructed by regular SCCA drivers. Classroom instruction, as well as on-track sessions (with instructor) allow anybody with a vehicle to get some advanced instruction. First step in "planting the hook"

Yep, I am a former victim, err uhh, graduate. I also try and give back to the program, as an instructor.

It was a big help that I connected with a longtime club racer who guided me when I had questions. It was also a big help that I found this site. In club racing there are people who are willing to help and there are people who want to help a newbie.
