I've done Bondurant several times now -- wish it helped my driving, but that's another issue.... With the Karts - you accelerate into the corner... I'd haul down the front straight and bang down an gear and punch it... and you're pulling like 2 G's.... they're so much fun!

This is the only school other than Dirt Fish - where the instructors actually WANT you to go faster (if you're good enough). All the other schools that I've taken are more of a take the money and show 'em a good time. The guys at Bondurant dissect your every move and discuss how to carry your speed etc - and will raise your game if they think you are capable (you have to show you can do what they're asking of you). One school won't make you AJ Foyt... but they sure will give you some building blocks to make you better.

I really wish Dirtfish would do an advanced class. That was super duper fun. I must have the best Mother In Law - EVER
