If anyone knows someone who is doing this in the Mid Atlantic please let me know. Thanks
What folks are saying, including myself, is that a private instructor is not worth it if you are a novice. At that level, there are plenty of basic issues to be dealt with that do not require a pro driver to address. You don't need to pay $1k per day to learn the basics of the driving line, controlling the throttle, braking, etc. The track is a different environment, and you need to process the basics and let them sink in before you are ready for more advanced instruction. Having said this, it's your money, so of course spend it how you like...
