    Default Driver's School at PIR

    Okay, the next Cascade Sports Car Club school is Sept. 13-14, Thursday night and all day Friday. Unfortunately, I can't make it to this one, but YOU can! Price is a low, low $165, but hurry, 'cause the August one sold out, and this one prolly will too!

    if i ever do any race lessons, i won't be using my own car. i'd much rather use the school's cars to beat up on.

    Hmmm...gotta take a Friday off? Dangit if Mondays aren't my days off. I could probably switch it.
    D - I hear what you're saying, but it's also an excellent and controlled environment to get to know the limits of you and your own car.

    As long as your car's maintenance is kept up, you don't grind gears/drop the clutch/etc., and you don't wreck, there's not much beating up happening, aside from a bit of tire wear. The car just gets to have some fun, and do what it was designed to do -- drive! As a bonus, you get to have fun too!

    Also, any school that provides cars for the students will cost substantially more than 165 bucks.

    i hear ya, and my car does high rev very smoothly, especially because i rarely do it. but my clutch is all worn to hell, so i don't think i would get much out of it this time around. i may consider it in the future, though.
