Recommend driving school-drive your own car?
Any drivers schools in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic that allow you to drive your own car this coming spring? Looking for 2 or 3 days of coaching/ driving.

Don't know your experience but spending a lot of money for coaching if you are a 0/0 green driver may not be the best way to spend your money.
PCA DE (or other car club) for a few hundred dollars is a screaming bargain.
If you are fairly experienced looking for the next level it may be worth it.
Another way to go is get a few guys like yourself, find an open track day and hire a guy like VR or get a guy like VR for yourself. Open track days can easily equate to 2 days of DE track time or more.

I like the zone 2 pca event at Vir
AS well, the tarheels BMW chapter run a great event in March at Vir.
I think a Mazda runs an event there too.
Until mid to end of March you don't want to run much north of VIR

Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm amazed more don't take advantage of these opportunities.
Get in tough with the track of choice, get to know a few folks, a local coach or two and you'll be in the loop. It's absolutely amazing what a day can do for you, much less a season with, say, five or six days spaced out throughout.

PCA white group, so experienced but not advanced (yet) . I've had some very good instructors from NCR and NER clubs but now solo and looking for a little more. It's hard to grab an instructor that's not busy at a DE. There are a few of my buds that would be looking at this so an open track day with a coach sounds pretty good.

Hi Nick, tough day today. Had to put my dog down. Maybe the Pats can win win for a little cheering up. Car is just getting off season maintenance. That gearbox fiasco last year was a budget killer.

Very sorry for your loss, Dennis.
