Best bang for the buck at a driving school with instructors of that caliber that I've heard about.

Plus it's just about the most fun you can have (with your clothes on anyway ).

What equipment must be on the car and driver to attend this class.

For example, at the moment my cobra only has a single lap belt and I doubt that would pass.

Hey Old dog
yep you will need 4 point harness, pretty easy to add and think about a antisub belt too...just in case, it's important to be safe while having fun.

You'll aslo need a Roll bar or cage, Snell 2000 or newer brain bucket, full length cotton pants, socks, full shoes, no flip flops cotton T shirts were alllowed last year, because it was hot . but long sleeve would be better
anything else , let me know

Hope to see you there

Is attendance at the show a requirement for doing the driving school? I would really like to drive Mid Ohio but have no interest in the show.
