Check out your local PCA chapter for Driving events
If you have not joined - Do
http://www.pca.org/

Sign-up and attend PDE

You will really experience what the car you drive is capable of, and become a better driver as well.

Oh, it's finished. I just got back from the Hamptons and was doing 75 on the W.S. highway from the GW bridge to 96th St.

Fenway, I understand your question.. Maybe this will help.

Performance Drivers Association.
http://www.pdadrivingschool.com/

When I was living in New York, this was the first driving school I ever attended. They have excellent instructors and classroom technique. And, you get to drive Limerock which is a fantastic track.

If I can help you with more info, please let me know.
