the SF Regions run an autox school every year. Usually around march/april time. But you have to be a SCCA member (I think but I am pretty sure). I don't know on the cost. I would guess around $100ish.... Don't quote me on that.

Another good one is the Evolution school. The next time they are in CA is the second week of december but it's in LA and I'll be in fricking Colorado :doh:

Not really. the course was the wrong type of course for 4WS to have too much advantage. 4WS would have been nice to have at the last few events where the course was a lot tighter.

it doesn't matter since the physics of good/fast driving is still the same.

sure there are differences between the two types but the basics are still the same.

yea dave was tellin me since he's the intructor. It doesnt seem to impossible when he explained it. Basically you know how when you accelerate your car lifts up, and when you brake it dips down...so you are using the throttle to accelerate a bit and decelerate to turn i dunno its confusing lol
