Hey all,

I'm looking for a good local driving school in the area. I really want to learn how to drive my car better. Anyone in Orange County area that you guys know of? Anyone taken such a class?

Thanks!

I know that buttonwillow offers drivers training courses a few times per year. Check 'em out at http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com and click the performance driving link.

Here is the link for a google search that has a ton of information

You might also look into Irwindale Speedway.
They may not have classes but they do have events where you can show up and drive.

And in case someone else here is interested, they have a Drifting event scheduled for Feb. 28th.
It's a D1 Drifting event.

Hook up with BMW at Dodger Stadium!

See www.northamericanmotoring.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file= index&action=viewtopic&topic=20976&1.

They will surely teach you how to drive an X3 well! It's free, what more do you want?!
