We got all the track time we wanted and the in-car video they give you at the end of the school is really cool and something you can show off to your car buddies when you get home. We even had a couple of hours of off road time in the woods near the track. Absolutely first class and should be on every bucket list. Barbers is a beautiful track. I can still remember every turn and elevation change even now.

Unless there was more than one course in April, we must have been there at the same time.

I was there on April 20/21. It was raining pretty good to start the day, but the weather got better and better.

Oh guess they did have more than one Performance school that month

I was there the week before. Our second day ended with those tornadoes ripping through AL

Would you recommend the spa they have associated with the driving school? I've registered for a class in December but was wondering if the spa is worth the premium over a regular hotel.

The hotel is nice, not spectacular. It does come with free shuttle service to the track - 30 minute ride. But we noticed there was a hotel (of lower status probably, but good enough) accross the street from the track which we think we would stay at next time. But there is a nice dinner they provide at the resort on the first night with the instructors and all the particapants.

Uncle Bob is infamous around these parts

Thanks so much for the review, I'm headed there at the end of May...bucket list, 60th b'day all in one. I had a chance to experience some of their capabilities during several events sponsored locally. One was at a local track, another last year at the new track in Shelton, WA. Really looking forward to this!
