I saw the same ad- looks like the Skip Barber driving school to me.

Mark,
Most Certainly does. It's the Russell Racing School. They can be found
at:
http://www.RussellRacing.com
FYI- Not Cheap. Then again, none of the schools are.
I just saw an ad for the Sonoma Driving School on a VISA commercial. I went to
try and find some information on this school and cannot find a single thing
about it anywhere on the web, yellow pages, or the various other atlas/search
utilities at my disposal.
Does this school exist outside the TV commercial and how do I contact them?
Any info would be appreciated - especially if you've actually attended the
Thanks.
them?
Sonoma, CA? Try the area code (?) + 555-1212 for directory
assistance.
Cheers!

Should be the Skip Barber school at Sears Point. You can look up either
Skip Barber or Sears Point on the Web...

The Sonoma Driving School is actually the Russel Racing School, which
takes place on the Sears Point Race course. Skip Barber Racing School is
located in Monterey on the Lauguna Seca Race Course.

www.skipbarber.com is what you're looking for - I believe it's Skip Barber
Racing School that was shown in that commercial. The only other choice
might be the Jim Russell school and I don't know if they have a web
presence yet or not.
I enjoyed a Barber "teaser" a year back as part of the Media Day
festivities held a week or so before the Lime Rock Park BGNN race. Dealt
with car control mostly, and the two biggest exercises were the autocross
and the wet skidpad. The autocross was a tight course laid out with cones
on a go-kart track driving Dodge Vipers (never got out of second gear
tho). I impressed the instructor doing that and attributed my performance
to NASCAR2.
Following that was the wet skidpad in Dodge Dakotas with bald back tires -
we were supposed to induce these things to skid, then catch the skids and
all that - I failed miserably despite my ice racing experience. Guess I
can't drive rear wheel drive.
But I digress. These things can be fun, true, and very valuable
experience-wise, but be forewarned that they're quite expensive also.

It's RUSSELL RACING!!! The guy even says it on the commercial! This is
THE school to go to. Such GREATS like AL UNSER JR., Rick Mears, and Emmo
have been to Russell. The Formula Russell cars have SLICKS and WINGS
unlike the Formula Dodge cars! I will go there one day, just like Al!!!

good points Dave. Unfornately for us wannabes, we can't get into a Barber
Dodge car until we're well into the program. Newbies can get into Formula
Russell cars fairly quickly on the other hand! =)
