Skip Barber or other formula schools?

[rwh11385]

I know jlevie and some others mentioned it before, but didn't find a lot on alternate or similar schools. I did a BMW Performance Driving School in 2011 and really enjoyed it. Now looking for something similar, possibly with formula cars in the mix. [And won't have a track worthy car until next year most likely. I could maybe co-drive someone else's car or rent but checking out other options.] I was looking to sign up for a Skip Barber school but I'm hoping to do it over vacation in between May 6th and 19th but their schedule doesn't have 1 Day Racing schools in that period. So what other programs are recommended? (Willing to travel)

Has anyone played with their Porsche/Lexus/Mazda's in HPDS?

1 Day High Performance Driving School Lime Rock Park 5/9/2013 - 5/9/2013 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM $1,800.00

Has anyone ran with this school?

Bertil Roos Racing School

Or this one?

There's a somewhat nearby outdoor karting track I plan to hit up too, but also wanted to get in another school. Or just spend the whole summer karting... They have cheaper schools and a rental league. Would that be a more reasonable option? Or live it up and do both?

Or maybe finally get out to Mid Ohio? http://www.midohio.com/Store/School-...ormance-Course

I went throught eh Skippy 3-day racing school - great program and all over the US at some awesome tracks - have you checked ALL of the tracks during your available time?

Only other big-name shcools I know of are:
Bondurant (not formula, but still cool)
Jim Russell

Hit up Grassroots Motorsports, there was a racing school article not long ago that gave a bunch more options. And I would check their forums; there is a ton graduates from all the different schools that frequent it.

Awesome. Yeah, I checked for all tracks but that was the only one that fit during those two weeks.

Charlie recommended Jim Russell in the old thread but their website seemed to be malfunctioning for me last night.

Know by chance which issue? I'll check it out - thanks.
