    Default Racing Schools

    Im looking for a beginner's racing school, something that I can learn the most and feel most benefitted from. I know basic/slightly advanced racing techniques from being a whore on youtube, but I want to learn firsthand on a track that I can legally participate these techiniques on. I also want to expand into road racing in the future. I know a couple people on here are seasoned racers, so hopefully they can help, if anyone else knows any road racing schools that are very prestigeous on the east coast I'd appreciate it.

    ^^^ Pretty much says it all. I started to go there when I was still racing, but quit racing before I got around to it. Skip Barber Racing School has been around for years, also. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    the formula car is faster,but I would recommend the miatas.
    you could also do NASA if you wanted to stretch it out and eventually race.
