All the talk of bad weather has me thinking about the spring and how I want to learn to push my 8 to its limits.

Does anyone know of any good driving/racing schools or instructors, preferably in Southern Ontario? I've been to "driver for a day" on the track in Shannonville. It's great, but you use their cars and because it's on a tight track, you never get out of 3rd gear (you barely have time to think, let alone shift).

I'd like to find a good instructor who can help me get the most out of my shifts, use of clutch, teach me heel and toe, preferably on a good enough track that I won't wear through a set of tires in an afternoon!

Sitting in the car with a real driver, like i did at Shannonville, made me realize that those guys are Picassos and most regular joe's like me are still finger painting.

There is a 2 day solo 1 school sometime in the spring. Includes accomodation, food, in class and on track time. I went a couple of years ago and it was about $400.

I've hear very good things about the HRC Performance Driving School. Only offered once a year - on the Easter long-weekend. I missed it last year...already sent my deposit this year. http://www.tractechracing.com/
Hope to see lots of RX-8 there this year!
