Slight thread highjack here.
Just a heads up regarding a driving school...
I recently had the absolute pleasure to take part in a Bertil Roos full day class on Pocono Speedway's North Track in an F2000 Road racing Car and I highly reccommend it.

I was amazed at how much one could learn about racing and general driving techniques in one class that ran from 8AM till around 4:30PM. Everything from basic Brake sets to advanced Up Rev shifting in one day! After the initial training you are given a car to drive as hard as you want without instructor intervention unless you appear to be dangerous to yourself and or the vehicle.
...that said I have no affiliation with the school, just a real appreciation for what a good school could do to boost one's skills in a short amount of time.
