Talking

Go to Mulholland Drive and drive it at night with a 4 pack of California Coolers, it WILL make you a better driver, albeit at a price I think?

yep, probably the best 99X 911 specific driving school around. after that, you can go to the master's version if you want to learn more.

1 day? Any track-located 1 day will be a good start, so just
go to the most convenient. The question is like "I want to
be able to defend myself. What's the best one-day martial
arts course?"
"Miles make the man": Jackie Stewart The more seat time
you get driving the way you want to be able, the better.
After you take your one-day course, find where your local
PCA club holds Driver Education events and autocrosses.
Go to 5 autocrosses and one DE per year.
These are cheap and will do better at getting your driving
skills honed and metabolized than any 1-day or 1-week class
that you may have taken a year ago.

Britt, I'm doing the 2 day PDE May 24-25. Thought it would be fun to see how they do it. But Barber is probably the next step after that. I just bought a new kart yesterday (125cc Shifter), I think that is good seat time if you can make the time.
