More than anything, you learn what not to do, and the extent of how really stupid some of the things others do as witnessed this weekend. It can be a real eye opener.
https://www.thedriversedge.net/index.html - It's $295 for the whole weekend. They offer a 10% discount for a car club of 10+ signups. They'll put all the new guys in the green run group, you'll get 8x 30 minute track sessions (4 each day) with an instructor in your passenger seat under strict passing rules with other novice drivers on the track, interspersed with classroom time learning about high performance driving theory. It's a great deal.

If someone started organizing now, you could probably get things set up for a 370Z group at any of their events from July onwards (events tend to sell out a month or two in advance).

I've got no time for organizing, but I would definetely like to get involved with something like this! I've been screwing around in karts for the last year and while that is really fun, it's not the same as the car.

I've done a bunch of these events (also check out Apex Driving Academy) and they are well worth it.
