This should help http://www.autox4u.com/pda/
They let you run different courses at pocono, you drive your own car with a instructer, and depending on what group you want to drive in, you can pass other cars

Thanks for all the replies! I knew i could count on you guys. Now, another question: Where can I rent a c6 for the day? (not to take to the track although that would be nice)

Give them a call because I don't know about current pricing. I do know they had many packages at all different prices.

Keep in mind this is one of top level classes geared towards more advanced racers. If you don't have a lot of track time under your belt I don't know if this is the class for you. Like I said before, they have many packages for all different levels... most are much cheaper than their three day racing school. In general I think it was about $1000 per day on average for most of the classes. Contact them for more info.

Here are some Skip Barber package and pricing links:
Driving school:
http://www.skipbarber.com/drivingsch...fault.asp?sel=
Racing School:
http://www.skipbarber.com/racingschool/default.asp?sel=
I wasn't far off, looks like the prices have gone up a little (certainly not $7k), but still not bad for what may be the best school in the country. Hope this helps.
