I went for the two day course. Best thing I ever did besides buying my first Porsche.

Chris, it's a 3 day course with more track time, some things are the same but they focus on driving a competitive line and learning certain racing techniques. I thought it was well worth it. It is pass fail, but if you put an effort in they will reward you. I would do the three day course over a repeat masters for sure.

I'd like to go this December as well but can't afford to take the time off. It will have to wait until spring. I notice the weekend classes fill up pretty quickly as well.

Went to the 2 day beginners class in Alabama. Its a once in a lifetime experience (at least for me) that I will never forget. There is even a camera in the car that films you driving towards the end of the course. The final product gets burned on a DVD. The volume on mine was not too good. Go for it! The experience will be etched in your mind for the rest of your life. Don't hesitate.

I did the two day school. Truly fantastic. Was great to see my instructor racing in event on TV just a few months later. Ross Bridge is a little pricey - however the Birmingham Marriott (birminghammarriott.com‎) is just a few miles from the track. Save some money on accommodation and go for a fine meal at Bottega (www.bottegarestaurant.com).

I did the 2 day plus the turbo. The 1 day tt school is just a ton of laps, 1 out of 3 seSsions in a turbo. The tts were tips.

Great course. Only mild disappointment was 1/2 laps were PDK, and I really wanted to focus on a stick. I'm thinking of getting a spec boxter and will likley do the skip barber miata course over the masters (scca licensing).
