the best way to get the above three is autox school 
you get tons of seat time plus good instructors
and I would not say i'm anywhere good. my friend in the EVO is freaking good. I predict he will take 1st or 2nd in his class at the sacrmento regions and probably 2 or 3rd in his class at SF region which is tougher. (i mean next season he will)
where is a good autox schoool? and how much does the price range? i might go to the next bmw driver school cause my friend teaches the corse, he said last time there wasnt that many people.
