sgsvette, I fully agree that you get what you pay for. However, I believe that for a "first timer" that the local clubs offer a good value. As you know, most beginners don't need a new set of tires, but they do need to ensure their brake fluid is changed and that the pads have a least 50% life. Just the experience to be able to drive your street car on a race track is a thrill the ever gear head needs to try at least once. They get good instruction in a safe and controlled enviroment and most students have a great time and come back or go on to schools like yours.
I think the jury is still out on the safety effectivness of five point harness versus the standard belts and air bags in current vehicles. I do believe that schools like yours are also good value because the instruction is first rate and that the program is built on a professional platform not to mention you provide a great, well prepared car.
