Tell your dad how fun and educational an autocross session can be. You can learn a lot about car control in a safe environment, much more safer than running on a road course; unless you drive like an ass. Things like corner entry and extreme transient maneuvers, experiencing ABS lock-up can all be experienced in a controlled environment for the first time, compared to experiencing them in an emergency situation on the street for the first time.
He sounds like a cool dad, maybe you can persuade him to attend the school with you? Would be a great father/son bonding experience.

P.S.- Give me the keys to your car- I'll put the 300 miles on it in one day!

Bring it ... and I don't think it is racing per se. I am gonna treat it like a driver's ed session .. i.e. learn how to negotiate slalom smoothly. Not going to rip thru the gears, punish the brakes even if means bottoming the time charts...

[nthfinity]

i look forward to your full report Good luck for a quick time ya ol' novice

[oscargarza88]

FoxFour- thanks for the ideas, ill try to persuade him into it... if he doesnt want to go with me ill find a way to take myself there, mayb take a friend or brother, and i think its very much worth the money!
sameerrao- nice way to look at it, i think i will do the same, cause after all "im just a 18yo" right,, how good can a drive so yea i think being smooth is our priority... :roll:
