AutoX school? Is that just technique? Sounds fun. Where and how much?

Edit: I didn't even see it on the list. That was dumb of me haha. I'll probably sign up for that one too.

It looks really cool. Its just kinda expensive. I am already an SCCA member and I have a helmet. I emailed them a question about seat time. If they can guarantee me a lot of seat time and a possibly apply the 1 year membership after my current one expires I would definitely be interested at that price.

Guys the Boston Chapter of BMWCCA has two auto x schools. One on April 8th and the other late summer. If you manage your time at the schools yoo can get 40+ runs in one day. Membership is required for insurance and IRS tax reasons...I beleive its $43 per yr? Then of course there are track schools, etc..

HTH

I'll be teaching atthe 8th event

Autocross school for $325?

We are in the wrong business.

The SCCA event posted earlier in this thread... website says it costs $325+. Are the cones made of gold?

The Boston Chapter BMWCCA sounds much more reasonable.

Considering the cost of gold today, I don't think there will be enough for even one cone

But in this class, you get a helmet and a large amount of 1on1 time with an instructor. I'll let you all know if it was worth it.

Quality 1-on-1 instruction goes a LONG way indeed. Have fun and report back!

NER's school this year evidently. It's under a program called Starting Line, and they're supposed to have Evo school instructors. It comes with a bunch of other things too like a 1 year SCCA membership, and event entry fee for a regional AND national event.

I see an April 14th school. I would be interested in signing up for this too. More seat time = More better.
