Autocross Event/Driving Classes

Where in TX would one be able to find either a good track to run the 8, or maybe a place where they can teach you to drive it to it's limits?

Lubbock, TX area please if you can

SCCA had an event here in Lubbock a few years back, I had my trans am back then and my friends asked me if I wanted to go, but wasn't really interested to see how bad my TA did in the corners

Now that I've got an 8 I'd really like to take a class or something to know how to drive the car better and faster, etc etc.

In the DFW area you can autocross or track your car pretty much every weekend:

Autocross:
- North Texas S2000 Owner's Group
- Lone Star BMWCCA
- Maverick PCA
- Equipe Rapide
- SCCA

Track:
- Apex Driving Academy
- PCA
- BMWCCA
- I'm sure there are others

Looks like the majority of the closest options I have are in Dallas...

Good advice, I'd also add The Drivers Edge and for autocross schools once a year Evolution.
