Re: 3 Day SBR School Decisions

Grinch,

Yes I am an instructor with skip, I was acquired with the Panoz buyout so I have been working all the programs Skip has to offer at Road Atlanta. I'd say based on your feedback, Go with the formula car. But please dont count the MX-5 out! Seeing as how your an MX-5 owner we both know how much fun they are to drive!! After you take your three day I would definitly look towards doing some Skip races or talking to the fine folks at MER which is based at MSR DFW They have the older style spec miatas as well as the new MX-5s. Its close to your home and a really fun race track! I wont be suprised if Skip ends up going there soon. As for the shoes you DEFINITLY need some racing shoes. If by cheap adidas you mean the replica racing shoes, Those are perfect. Same with Puma they sell them as well. Tennis shoes wont work. You might not need elbow pads but you will definitley need gloves. The shifter is very close to the fiberglass bodywork and I've seen some bloody knuckles because of it.

Good luck!
