On June 3rd I am going to an SCCA autox school at Candlestick park. It is $75 for the whoel ay, and they said you spend about half the day in the car, and go through about 1/2 a tank of gas!!!! (that seems like an exaggeration).

But I usually pay $35 for 3.5 minutes of driving, for this school i am paying $75 for probably something like 20 runs! Seems like a good cost-weight ratio to me!

: and improve its driver. it's cheap, safe, and you can push the car BEYOND its (and your own) limits with minimal consequences. finding limits on the track can get expensive, and not only financially!

: that said, the ratio of seat time to 'picnic-in-a-parking-lot time' can get frustrating. i wish some organizers would hire highschool kids to chase cones for $10/hour, and have several small run groups during the day. show up, run, leave - i'd gladly pay $35 instead of $25 to make that possible...
