I did their mini school and here's what I learned: 1) I need to learn to heel/toe 2) It doesn't take much to reach the limit of the stock tires(I know, a no-brainer) 3) I've got a lot to learn 4) The track is a blast, can't wait to do it again (Oct 19, Time Trials, also at Harris Hill)!!

The track is a 1.82-mile, 11-turn asphalt road course. The Mini-school I did cost $250 and consisted of: 20 min's classroom, 15 min's of follow the instructor around the track to learn the racing line, 15 min's of in-car instruction, 5 minutes in classroom, 25 more min's of in-car instruction, then a 15 min solo run(video below), 20 min break, then a final 20 min solo run. I got more than the 2 hours it's scheduled for because it was a Thursday so I was the only student and there was no one else on track.....

I did the mini school a few years ago in my 04 STi, and it was a lot of fun. Similiar experience as yours, only me and one other in the school.

I'll be at the Autocross event this sunday at H2R.

I would also be interested in another school as long as its not overlapping an autocross
