Skip barber school
- Thread starter TURBO2GO
- Start date
I did the 3 Day Racing School and the 2 Day Advanced Racing School and thought it was well worth it in addition to being a tremendous amount of fun. Are you talking about just the driving school because I am not aware of a 1 day Racing School. There is a big difference in the nature of the activities but both formats are highly useful.
EDIT: I just checked their site and notice that they have added an HPDE equivalent school but I have no personal knowledge of the "value" of their program. However, I would point out that their two day program would cost the same as 10 days with Trackmasters at Watkins Glen so it depends on what your "goal" is.

yeah I was talking about the high performance driving school. They have a one day and a two day. I don't know what to go for.
I don't know if it will be too basic. I have done some track driving before... a long time ago. I wouldn't consider myself that good. I tell you since buying the NSX I am really starting to see my own driving skill shortcomings. With this car, I need to be better.
I am thinking of joining some of the track events, but I really need to brush up my skills first so I don't look like Hellen Keller driving and embarassing the NSX community.

If your goal is to become a track rat, then I would stick with Trackmasters. If you are going to try to be a better street driver, go with Skip's 2 day driving school. It is less expensive than their Performance School and you can put the extra thousand toward 4 days at the Glen with the focus being on track performance driving.
Another option would be the one day combo at Skip and then 4 days with Trackmasters.
Just my .02 - others may disagree with their opinions being just as valid.

I took a class at www.springmountainmotorsports.com You get to drive corvettes all day. At the time I wanted to get a C6 , What better way to learn how to drive a corvette ? with someone else's corvette ! :biggrin:
Its about 40 min from the Vegas strip. I learned alot from the class and felt I was a better driver. It made me appreciate my NSX so much more.
are you taking the carrera driving course ?

May I suggest "Deals Gap" and "The Dragon". It's FREE ! Just 321 curves in 11 miles. Robinsville North Carolina down to Maryville, TN.
If that doesn't make you a better driver, nothing will !!!
People come from all over the US & Europe to drive this road.
Auto commercials filmed here also.
My '91 NSX loves the "exercise" ! :biggrin:
Give it a thought.

I can't believe that you would type that, even in jest. Street racing is done by immature idiots.
I love to street race :biggrin:
In regards to your question, I think a day of HPDE is a good place to re-enter with decent instruction (perhaps even at NSXPO) and is most helpful with the car you are actually going to drive. It's neat to go to a school and drive an open wheel car, but the handling characteristics may be quite different from the NSX.
YMMV.

Skip the vettes and do the radical school.:wink:omeganorm said:
I was thinking of getting a vette, that is why I went to springmountainmotorsports.com But this forum (lots of great guys in this forum) and test driving a NSX completely changed my mind. I bgt the car that I test drove, that is how much I love the car :biggrin:
I saw the radicals lined up in the paddock. That looked very interesting.
maybe later this year :wink:

who said it was jest :biggrin:
no one said anything about street racing. Just performance driving. Two different things, but performance driving + street racing = winning combination.

We've never heard of the guy down here... And as I scanned the new posts the words "barber school" jumped out at me and I thought I had accidently logged onto the Porsche Boxter forum instead!
