Has anyone done the Professional driving instruction / race day at BIR in MN? Was it with your own car? Opinions and any advice please! I will be attending a track day in the spring. Thanks!

I've done a track day up there in my old evo a few years ago, it was a blast. I think it was something like $250 for the day with your own car. You get all the access you want to instructors and can go out on your own when they clear you. most fun you can have with your clothes on IMO. i'll have my C6 up there this spring.

How helpful were the instructors? Did you feel like you got faster as the day went on?
