I am looking for a "racing school" ....or reasonable facsimile thereof..... that HOPEFULLY has the open wheel type cars and will do one day sessions; it is for a grad present for the young lad.  Gee, who knows....... maybe I will give it a try too...... Grin Wink

I have looked into a few but don't see anything quite like this so far, so ......
if you have a link or a phone number pls forward it, either here or email.  I am hoping to get one that has openings in the near future.
Thanks to all who can help!

Do a search under Buddy Baker, he has or at least had a NASCAR racing school.

I've heard recurring rumours that the track up near Mont Tremblant still runs a school...  naturally I can't find any information online which substantiates the rumours though.   Sad

I have found one at Mosport and am asking some questions; WOW there is alot to 'check out' in this field.  Apparently some or most will charge you for some/all/any damage to their cars......!?!?!  ouch!
Not a great situation if you are driving near barriers or maybe with an aggressive group....
And other fees and penalties.  You gotta ask some pretty specific questions. 
The one at Mosport DOES NOT, it is open wheel, they are formula 2000 cars; sounds like a decent number of laps; you don't have to do the 'mother duck' lapping all the way thru (lots are!) ........ but I am still comparing. 
Some have pitifully FEW laps; LOTS of classroom time but very little time in the car.  What do you think people GO for......Huh (again)
so it is an interesting exercise.
