Keith,
Did a lot of research on this myself as I'd like to have some fun with my cobra. The first obstacle you face is you aren't likely to get an instructor to ride with you in your cobra unless you have a roll bar to protect the both of you regardless of the sanctioning body. The instructor doesn't want to get his skull dinged either! I have been focusing on NASA because they use the VIR track to the north of me and CMP to the south. They have High Performance Driving Events where you ride and learn from trained instructors, but you have to provide the car, unless you can borrow one. I have been told that it would be better to take these courses and move through the different levels (4) of expertise there before moving on to a driving school such as Bondurant. I would get a lot more out of the school if I had some experience before I went there. It seems reasonable to me. I'm considering getting another car to drive in NASA's HPDE because I'm not willing to cut the cobra up to add another roll bar. Maybe a mustang or camaro that I can use in American Iron later.
Anyway, I'd try to get some experience with a local organization before I plunk down a bunch of money for a Bondurant type of school.
