    Default Trying to find all the ADVANCED race instruction

    Having limited success here... not looking for the basic comp license and extra lapping day type scenarios, but the more advanced stuff (like show up with your own car, get some expert, tailored instruction)...

    So far I've found that the Mid-O school does seem to offer that... Bondurant, Bertil Roos and Skippy all seem to just have the pre-packaged courses... looks like the Panoz school has been absorbed by Skippy, and Daly's deal seems to have evaporated - now American Driving Academy, and they don't even have a website!

    Am I missing any others? I'm looking for that "OK I've got a season under my belt, now let's take it to another level" kind of thing...

    TIA...

    Bondurant offers an Advanced RR Course. It's one on one. Almost all skidpad, car control and on track. Limited classroom. You pick the number of days...not cheap, but I've debated doing it a million times. There were three guys doing it when I was there, smoking fast....looked like fun.

    On edit, I think you needed 1 year minimum racing experience to be eligible.

    Or you can get driver coaching. lots of semi pros and pros offer it. Eric Curran (SPWC Corvette driver, former NER ITB Volvo champ) for example offers it.

    Default Private Coaching....

    is the way to go. I used Spreed Secrets in 2006 and took from the rear to the front in SRF. Worth the money....

    I'm tentatively doing something with Eric in June at Lime Rock. That's one thing I joked asking if his father will mind. lol

    Suddenly I'm feeling a sense of regret that I posted this... LOL

    Maybe it's a good time to let the wife race the ITB car... I can be her expert instructor...
