).
Webster shares with USA Today's Shawn Sell some
adrenaline-boosting driving/racing schools.
Skip Barber Racing School - Various locations
"Run at tracks all over the country, (the school) offers a one-day
course where students drive miniature Indy cars that accelerate like
a Corvette," Webster says. "There are also new-driver programs and a
high-performance class where students drive 500-horsepower Dodge
Vipers. My pick: the three-day racing program. Go for it."
800.221.1131; skipbarber.com
They also offer a three-hour Introduction to Racing course,
helmet and race suit included.
Smiley Sitton's Outlaw Driving School - Dallas
"Imagine piloting a car that looks no bigger than a go-kart but has a
700-horsepower engine, and you'll get the idea behind this school,"
Webster says. "I'm dying to try this, because learning how to handle
one of these beasts on a dirt oval (held at various tracks around the
Dallas area) has got to be an incredible thrill. I'd even opt for the
ride-along program (in a two-seater with a professional sprint- car
driver)." 214.331.4664; outlawdrivingschool.com
Bobby Ore Stunt Driving School - Camarillo, Calif.
"Yes, you can learn to be a stunt driver," Webster says, "and Ore's
school teaches Dukes of Hazzard-style slides and also how to drive a
car on two wheels. Now you can watch a movie chase scene and think,
'Hey, I can do that!' " 818.880.5678; bobbyoresports.com
Land Rover Experience - Asheville, N.C.
"Land Rover "courses that teach extreme off-road driving are held at
some of the swankiest grand hotels in the country," Webster says,
"like this one at the Biltmore Estate," where competing teams vie for
the Biltmore Cup. 800.239.0533; landroverusa.com
Richard Petty Driving Experience
Head out on the speedway: Ride in the real deal as part of the
Richard Petty Driving Experience at Lowe's Motor Speedway near
Charlotte. And, at various locations
"You won't learn a whole lot in this one," Webster says, "but you
will get to experience what it's like to zoom around an oval like a
NASCAR driver — either as a passenger or in the driver's seat of
a stock car. Driving programs begin with eight laps at (high) speed
and are available around the country." 800.237.3889; 1800bepetty.com
(Note: We list this school only because it is part of an article on
racing schools. If you don't know, Richard Petty publically speaks
against having women in the sport of racing so we wouldn't recommend
giving him money to teach you racing.)
Team O'Neil Rally School - Dalton, N.H.
"Located in gorgeous Northern New Hampshire, the O'Neil rally school
offers one- and two-day car control schools and three-day rally
schools where students learn how to effortlessly slide cars over
gravel roads," Webster says. "It doesn't get more exciting than this
one, and after completion you'll look forward to driving in
snowstorms." 603.444.4488; team-oneil.com
Porsche Driving Experience - Birmingham, Ala
"Held at the Barber Motorsports Park outside of the city, the PDE
runs one-day courses or an advanced program," Webster says. "The best
parts: You get to learn in Porsche 911s, and the instructors are
legendary drivers like Hurley Haywood. There's also an off-road class
where drivers pilot Porsche Cayennes." 888.04.7474; porschedriving.com
Roy Hill's Drag Racing School - Various locations
"If the idea of driving a 1,200-horsepower drag racer down a
quarter-mile track sounds good to you, Roy Hill will teach you how"
at various tracks, Webster says. "It's not cheap, but we're talking
rocket-like acceleration. Ride programs are also available."
336.498.7964; royhillsdragracingschool.com
Jim Hall Kart Racing School - Ventura, Calif.
Expert on-track race training and valuable class instruction. "Most
professional drivers got their start in karts, and you'll be amazed
at how much you can learn in a pint-sized vehicle that's about the
size of a shopping cart," Webster says. "Hall's school is the most
cost-effective way to hone your skills." 805.654.1329; www.jimhallkartracing.com/
Wide Open Baja Adventure - Baja, California/Mexico
"This one is for serious adrenaline junkies, because you drive
two-seat dune buggies over the same Mexican desert routes used in the
Baja 500 and 1,000 races," Webster says. "You can even stop in Cabo
San Lucas. Choose from four-day tours or seven-day adventures."
