McKamey Autocross School



Any BTDTs?  After reading an article about the school, I signed up for 
a session in my (PA/NJ) area.  Full day "phase I School" - apparently 
25-35 runs of a 35 second, 5 part course, under close (in-car) 
supervision and instruction of instructors.  Now I'm beginning to 
wonder whether, despite the convenience, it would have been better to 
sign up for a more conventional introductory racing course somewhere 
else.  What am I seeking?  I'm probably long overdue in learning how 
to drive a bit more aggressively safely, and understand better the 
limits of my cars - what's the best line into a curve, etc.   I'm also 
unsure which car would be best to take to the school - my '93 S4 
(basically stock, except for an MTM chip), which is my daily driver, 
or my '95 Carrera, which I tend to drive more aggressively, at least 
when I'm alone.  Taking the latter would, I suppose, have one 
advantage for other attendees - most or all will probably be able to 
go home and tell their friends that they had better times than a 
Porsche :)   Any thoughts/suggestions (e.g., helpful books to read in 
advance) would be appreciated.  Thanks.
