Try doing a search. This was discussed heavily twice in the past 2 past years when the school was at California Speedway. I did it in 2003 and it was awesome. You drive brand new Lexus cars (you can ride in the Team Lexus car but can't drive that one) around the oval and road course as well as a bunch of driving "drills". It was a blast and well worth the money (I think it was around $500 when I did it).

I went in March and it is a great time however you do not get to drive a Team Lexus car on the track. You get to ride in a Team Lexus car with one of the pros at the wheel. You do get to drive regular Lexi on the oval at over 120 but the most fun for me was the road course with the timed autocross as a close second.
