Default Z06 Driving Schools?

Thinking of taking some lessons at a driving school in the spring. Any driving schools that teach in a Z06? Links?

I just came back from the Bragg Smith Level 1 class last week. I highly recommend it. Best money I've spent in a long time. You'll learn a lot and for me the most fun ever!! Here is the web site. Call them and talk to them. I think you'll find it great. E-mail me if you want more info after you talk to them. http://www.bragg-smith.com/ :cheers:

Also try Justin Bell, their main school is in Florida but they will also be doing a couple of courses at VIR next spring. I took their 3 day course and loved it.

I'll second what was said about Bragg-Smith. Check the Pacific Events section - there is a special two-day course being offered to Forum members early next year, and last time I looked there was still an opening.

Thanks for the plug Steve.

Yes, I have arranged a rare weekend session at Bragg Smith for Feb 1 and 2. It is limited to 10 drivers. Presently 9 have signed up. A few inquiries have been received in the last few days but they haven't committed to the last spot.

It costs 1595.00 (1495.00 for school + 100.00 mandatory insurance). A $600 deposit is due at time of signup and the balance when we arrive. Hotel rooms are reserved for us at Pahrump Nugget for $50 night.

If you're interested please email or IM me soon. I'm leaving town Thursday.

Justin Bell school was also available at a discounted rate at the fest this past yr-and you can drive your own Z06:) Think they have him scheduled for '03 as well-you can check out the fest schedule on the OTHER forum.
