My experience @ Bertyl Roos influences my driving even today... 20+ years later.
A friend of mine did the NASCAR one day affair and wasdisappointed overall. That theygot very little track time in and were very limited as to the speeds and "competition they could run.
Adriving school, at least mine, was three days of classes by race expereinced drivers and track time. We had approx 1.5 days of instructional class followed by 1.5 days of driving and guidance. It was great and an experience I'll never forget.
It'll make you a safer and faster driver for the streets too... and your insurance co may recognize it and reduce your rates.
In the mid-'80's it was $600/3 days.I imagine it runs between $800-$1000 today, but worth every penny.

From NYC, Pocono is not that far away, y'know? I don't think Bertyl Roos is still teaching there. his schools never got all that big, but I'm sure somebody is... Bob Bonduraunt Schools comes to mind.

That's what I said.
How about Watkins Glen? Lime Rock?
I can't think of any other major tracks that might be near you but those, but who knows?
