This. 100% this.

As an added bonus, it's fun too. It lets you play around with the limits of your car, and figure out how to control the car at (and beyond) those limits in a safe environment, so if you start to lose control unexpectedly on the street, you will have a much better idea what to do. I think everyone should take one of these courses.
