Another COM member chiming in. I started on track two years ago. Very friendly and welcoming. Mentor program to help answer getting-started questions (brake fluid was the answer). There is a first-time discount (and a referral bonus but that should go to whoever mentioned it on here first). Four 20 minute classroom sessions covering communication & safety, track walk through & landmarks to follow "the line", vehicle dynamics, and "talk the track" which is a very helpful exercise. Four on-track sessions of 20-25 minutes with an instructor in the seat beside you full-time. I did the first day only for a while but at the end of last season did my first time trial and first time solo in the car at NHMS.

We drive at NHMS, Palmer (awesome), Thompson, Watkins Glen, and Tremblant (7 events total) this season. A BRZ won my class last year.

Happy to answer any specific questions, and hope to see you out there!
