Quicksilver's question about attending a racing school kind of brought up another question for me. Anyone go to one of those events where you can take some laps in an exotic?
I don't think the timing will work for me but there is one coming up at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports track in Bowling Green KY. 2 mile track with lots of turns and nice straightaway.
You can drive a single car or buy a package. Example is the Track Attack which gets 3 laps in a GT-R and 3 in a Porsche 911 GT3 for $399 plus insurance. O the Podium Package for $799 plus insurance. Ferrari 488 GTB, Lambo Huracan and Porsche 911 GT3.
Yeah, sounds expensive on the surface but for less than the price of a speeding ticket, you get a chance to not only drive, but drive flat out some seriously expensive, seriously fast cars. They also have some drive fast training classes available down at NOLA. For someone that has never been on a track (but some serious street racing in my younger years), sounds like a blast.
Have a friend that got a free session (vendor paid) in a Lambo at Las Vegas that sounded great. Real hard to judge from him though. He is a rather nervous person who putters around the mountain roads of eastern Ky and for him it was a terrifying experience with the ride along instructor telling him to hit the brakes harder, hammer down harder coming out of the curves etc. He couldn't believe the car would take those curves as fast as they were going. What terrified him sounded like a rush to me.
