I did the 3 day school at Laguna Seca back in '98 ($1500 cheaper) and also tried Jim Russell's school at Infineon in '02. Helped me a lot when I picked my SCCA licensed in '03 - best time for me was doing the Skip Barber school at Laguna Seca. A little of the classroom instruction to get some general rules and basic understanding, then some basic driving skills to know your open wheel vehicle and onto the track for a number of different driving techniques (some are RPM limited).

One cool part of the course - mastering as best as you can the Corkscrew!

I definitely recommend taking the course and learning how to drive on the track!!
