Default Driving schools for autocross

Need some opinions on different driving schools to attend to help get a newbie ready to do some racing next year.I have about 15 years experience in drag racing and now I am ready to try something new.I know it will require more technical skills than drag racing and I need to learn how to setup suspension and braking. Thanks for any help. Greg

Check out your local clubs. A few in my area offer a novice day early in the season. I plan to hit as many of these as I can.

I know Jet Hott and DSE just teamed up to put on some kind of school at a track on the east coast a few weeks ago.

Where are you located? Most local autocross groups do have drivers school for autocross early on in the season and it's pretty inexpensive. The best advice I can give you is what you're trying to do ... invest in yourself.

I attended the Evolution Performance School (phase one and two) and recommend them highly. You'll get great instruction and it's layered to build your skills. Even with 35+ years of Solo, I learned a lot ...

This is correct and they plan to do one a quarter next year, probably in different locations around the country. I am sure there will be info forth coming soon. Where are you located?
