I dont think that Infiniti offeres any kind of driving school like the Land Rover offers for there trucks, with the off-roading class. I would like to go to any type of driving school, where you can get track like course. I think there is one in Conn., But I dont know what they charge, or if it is even any good????

You can also go to local autocross events which usually have instructors
which are more than willing to improve your driving habit and some of
them even have driving school classes

yep, i know he's taught a couple times last year, but he mainly tears **** up in SCCA with his Miata lol. I'm going to do it next year. You should join me. I'll probably get owned because with all my mods I'll be in a really tough class, but it's all good

Scott is the owner of Ballistic Motorsports: www.ballisticmotorsports.org

I believe a lot of the races are done at NHIS in Louden, but don't quote me on that. I don't remember how much it is, but I think if you're not an SCCA member it's like $65 per day or something like that to do the autoX. I don't know how much the instructor courses are, but feel free to contact him. His number is on the website. Tell him Andy sent you

Yeah, I'm gonna get raped, but it's all good. I can't wait until the season starts! I just hope it doesn't interfere with my show schedule

Drifting? None that I can recall, but there are two speedways. One is NHIS in Louden, and the other is Limerock in Lakeville, CT.
