I have never taken it, but one of our local T1 racers did the school in December to get his SCCA license.

Fastlane, at least for licensing, I think is more about getting your race license and not exclusively focused on driving performance, but you should ask them. I know McKeever who runs the school is a very respected driver with a good racing legacy in this area.

My friend who took the class when it was one of those rare times it rains out at WSIR was actually told to slow at one point in the class as he was scaring some of the other nubee drivers who were enrolled.

The bottom line:

• If you want a race license fast, go to Fast Lane.
• If you are looking for performance driving, I suggest talking to them. They do that, too, I just don't know much about it.

Cool, thanks for the info. I'm more interested in having someone teach me about apexes, approaches, what to do when the back end starts getting squirrly, etc than getting a racing licence.

I'll shoot them an email and see whats up!
