do u think my insurance may give me a discount for going?
Uh......actually they may INCREASE your insurance if you tell them you went to the Skip Barber RACING School.
I'd keep that on the Q.T.

My mistake.
The only insurance discount I've heard of in that regard is like a "driver awareness" course - mainly for teenagers and old people. Not enough insureds would qualify for a 'driving school' type of discount for insurance companies to bother with it.

Yeah I mean, saying your dad doesn't care IS pretty retarded. Maybe your dad knows how you drive, and would prefer, isntead of forking over another 800 dollars of his money, that you just drive within your abilities.

If I bought my kid an audi, and found out he was driving like a retard... I'd take it away.

Apg, i will show you some stuff behind the wheel for like 500. Now it wont be the emergency stuff like that. It will mostly consist of donuts, 5k launching, hard drifts, and prolly some more donuts. You will have to buy the tires, cuz we will go through a set. What would be more fun, messing around my 315hp/3000pd car, or there dodge pickup teaching u how the rip the wheel for a emergency lane change?

Hahaha, i kno how to launch, drift (not well), doughnuts, burnouts and such. I just gotta go some where and get used to slamming on the brakes in emergency situations. OO well, oo and SB has a Viper SRT 10 that u use in the school. Not sure but i think it would take ur audi. How is it at 315?
