Thing is, if I'm going to put myself and my car into a high performance school, I'd want to be assured that the instructors knew what the heck they were actually doing :P

S'why I'm willing to "pay to play" as it were by going to the SVTOA event (I may do a BMW event this year too, depends really how much the raise actually is at work this year and whether it will be retro to last year April as most of our others have been)

Now you sound like Nik with "pay to play" :lol: . Of course you got to pay , but is a matter of how much are you willing / can pay , that depends on everybody's budget / pocket . You said it yourself , "if" , "raise" , etc . With me is a little more simple , I am self employed so there is no raise , it's more a matter of how many jobs I can get and do . So that's why I will not see Calabogie anytime soon , it's around $350 per day , it's far from me , so I am not willing to pay that price yet . With SVTOA is a different story , it's $425 for 2 days and instructors , good deal I think . I am tempted to go to Watkins Glen this year for about the same price . There are many " temptations" and plans for this year , we'll see how much I will be able to accomplish . :) The event is hosted by Joe , the little guy ( instructor ) driving a loud red Mustang 5.0 two years ago at DDT .I like to think that the ones who got to be instructors should know their stuff .I couldn't find the post where Ken told me last year how much is to attend the BMW club at Mosport .
