Driving Event, aka HPDE (High Performance Driving Event). Basically a track event with instructors and run groups to separate students from novice to advanced. Look at Edge Addicts and Chin Motorsports for CotA. PCA and BMWCCA also run it, but much less frequently. Or Harris Hill is an outstanding track for a novice to learn on (CotA is pretty hard because it's designed to be), but they focus on being members-only, so they don't allow too many events handled by outside organizers open to non-members. Outside of Austin, I've run with The Driver's Edge and had good experiences with them.

There are several clubs that have HPDE (High Performance Drivers Education) programs that will arrange for a 1:1 instructor to be with you for about 4-8 hours of driving time over a weekend. There are about 30-40 cars on the track with you at the same time, of similar skill level. Your car insurance policy is unlikely to cover these events (or driving on a track for that matter), so you will need supplimental insurance from groups like http://locktonmotorsports.com/product/hpde-insurance .

The following drive at tracks in Texas (sorry if I missed a few)
Lonestar PCA (very good for beginners)
Maverick PCA (very good for beginners)
BMW CCA (very good for beginners)
NASA
Chin Motorsports
Drivers Edge
Edge Addicts

Have fun Let me know if I can help you find an opportunity.

Silver GT4 at Austin K1 Speed, black wheels and Park Place license plate holder -- I parked right near you. Is the owner on RL??

GT4Life

I saw a white GT4 up in Leander on Sunday. Is that anyone here?

My new GT4 is scheduled to be delivered on July 22.

That would be me most likely.

GT4Life

Nice! I was walking into Tractor Supply and your downshift blip almost made me break my neck

Is that just the stock exhaust?

monochrom3

Just realized i was at COTA Sunday so unless it was Saturday, it wasn't me. But I was out and about Saturday. Exhaust is stock

GT4Life

I think it was Saturday. I gotta get with you about all these track days you're able to go to. I have my NASA license, but I have yet to get out on COTA.
