Re: Autox Schools
No I dont think any schools have been anounced yet. And you can run with VMSC if thier insurance allows it. You may have to have a parent on site. Join www.autocross.us for more info in the 757 area. And check VMSC's site regularly.

Re: Autox Schools
autocross events have people that are new drivers to pros participating. The few things that you'd like to learn before you start are learned from donig autocross.
Do a little research on teh internet and show your dad that it's completely safe. The only incident I've seen on the course is someone's suspension break from faulty parts.

Re: Autox Schools
There are incidents that happen, but they do rarely happen (ie flipped corvette).
Depending on where you are located there are a bunch of schools. I see you are located in Short Pump, look at BRR-SCCA and NASAX Mid-atlantic (does VMP events)

Re: Autox Schools
but to the op, you should look into "performance driving" schools, that might help, and what i know some of my friends do is go backroad driving, i.e- pungo runs, great practice for some real time twisty roads, but do it later at night with less chance of pedestrians
at the track today?

Re: Autox Schools
I think there's a VMSC autoX school one Saturday at RIR/RRC in April... but don't quote me on that.
The real deal autoX school is Evolution. NASA-MA hosts one each year at VMP - not sure when this year's one will be, but we'll announce it in the next few months. http://www.autocross.com/evolution
Also, at regular NASA-MA autocrosses, we provide instructors for novices as an added bonus. Something to think about... our events are like mini schools in some ways. Next one is Sun Feb 10 @ VMP... http://www.nasaracing.net/autox.htm
