Default Fast Lane High Performance Driving School

For those who took the Fast Lane High Performance Driving School
classes, please share your experience.

http://www.raceschool.com/courses_high_perf.html

I need some help deciding on a full day or half day course.
For the half day, I have the option to use my own car and save $200.
Is it best to use their vehicle and pay the extra $$?

For me, the purpose of taking a course is to become a better driver in an emergency situations.

emergency situations? these are HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) courses. if you want to to become a better driver in emergencies take a stunt driving course with rick seaman stunt school.

fastlane will teach you the proper racing line and when and where to brake and that kinda thing.

+1 with HellFish..

FastLane seems more of a racing technique institution instead of "emergency situations". But hey, you might learn something that may help you out in future situations.

Take your car, have fun and be safe.

Play Grand Theft Auto on the Playstation, you will even be able to handle other emergency situations.

Drive more and more in the canyons and go for some serious go-karting your reactions times will be on the dot, just my learning method!

I will be attending Fast Lane the end of March, and am planning on using my car for the second half of the day for $695.00. If you are interested you should join me. Check the last correspondence with them below.

There is one more option that might work for you... Do half a day in
our car and half a day in yours. The ISF is an amazing car, and FAST.
You might want to start the day in our car to focus on technique first,
then take yours out in the afternoon for some faster laps. (Cost is
$695 - it's not on the application, you'd just write it in). Or, sign
up in our car for the entire day and we'll allow you to take your car
out for the last session. Either way you'll have a great day!

I hope this info helped. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey Gary, I might join you (not to do the driving school, just to watch).

Ask them if they will allow passengers for that day.
