Driver's school opinion (Skip vs Bondurant?)

["Chris Hickersberger" <hickersb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Looking for opinions from anyone that has gone to Skip Barber or Bondurant
driving school.  I've done one autox, haven't made it to a CCA school yet..
I figure I might as well start out right upgrade the driver a little...  I
was considering either the Skip Barber 2 day driving school, or the 2 day
Bondurant "High performance driving course"  After looking at their
respective websites, it looks like S.B. is more of a street - skills thing,
there doesn't seem to be any lapping of a track, which bondurant seems to
include.... I wonder if bondurant includes more of the rudimentary car
control stuff that it appears S.B. does.
So, I'd like to hear your opinions..  If it makes any difference in
reccomendations, I'm 22, been driving a 87 3er, I think I understand most of
the physics of weight transfer, etc, beginning to teach myself heel&toe, can
catch oversteer at lower (street) speeds, and as I said before, have only
done autox once and no CCA schools.  I don't plan to enter racing as a
career, but do plan to start regularly attending autox & maybe a few cca
schools..

TIA for any advice.
