Thinking about doing something fun like this. Anyone recognize this company? It is only two hours away from me, but I never heard of them before.

Never heard about it, but would love to try some gravel drifting for a few hours.

They are about 35-40 mins from my house. They stay busy and have a bunch of property to use.

$800 for one day class using their vehicle. I think I am going to sign up.

Never run with them but one of the instructors, Brin, is a friend of mine and been there for several years. They are under new ownership and they are now called The Firm. He said it is much improved over previous management.

Being heavily involved in rally for many years, I would say stay away from these guys if the same ownership is in place (This may not be the case according to 85 Gold, above)

The best out and out rally school in North America is Team O'Neil in New Hampshire. If you want to learn how to drive fast in a rally car this is the place to go. http://teamoneil.com/

Otherwise, give Dirtfish outside of Seattle a shot. They do have good instructors, but their model is set up more like an experience... and you will be driving AWD turbo cars, much newer spec than at Team O'Neil. http://www.dirtfish.com/

I have friends that instruct at both facilities, and both are great.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to try the one in NH I think.

I've had quite a few friends with racing experience also head to Dirtfish and have great sucess. Most have said the style of driving is so different that even after racing for years, it's like starting from scratch which the Dirtfish schools experience suits.

I looked at the NH one before since my wife is from there and once a year I have to go visit the inlaws and try not to commit suicide out of boredom while there. But the school is 2.5 hours away from my in-laws so I never signed up.
