Lately I have been looking into attending racing/driving school. When I transfer to Cal Poly, I pretty much have my heart set on doing some of the SAE International projects to add to my resume, along with driving them in the competition against other colleges. Does anyone have any recommendations for some around the bay area/northern or central California?

Yeah, I saw them at Santana Row last night. The guys from Lotus sent me up to the Valencia to talk to them at the V- bar. They were a nice bunch and gave me some information, but honestly its too expensive for me. I was hoping to find another safe cheaper venue.

 

do you have your own car?

 

Yes, but its not manual.

 

well, I'll tell you..you might think that skippy is expensive but by the time you get your car prepared and all the safety gear you need you will spend just as much and will still need plenty of good instruction...just save up and do the skippy thing..just don't destroy any of their cars or it will get expensive...since you are in norcal you might check the Russel school at Infineon...it might be less than skippy...

Yeah that is true. Someone also suggested go-karts to me as a better way to get started. I think I will do that for awhile and just slowly save for either Skip or Russel when I get more advance.

 

Someone recommended this to me but I haven't tried it myself yet:
