I'm going to Pocono May 12 with the Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team (CART). It is a very similar event, but looks like you get a little more track time, even though there is less instruction available. The tab is $170. You have to have a Snell 2000 helmet or better, and a tech inspection.

The Performance Driving Association also has a track event on the long course also runs event sat Pocono. I've done two of those. They are very good, you get four 25 minute sessions on the track. The cost is the same as the SCCA deal. They have a rally big weekend on August 18,19,20, with the long course on the 18th, a double infield course on the 19th and a single infield course on the 20th.

For the May 12 event at Pocono, I'm just going to drive up for the day. I've stayed at a Hotel at Pocono before, and the tab is about $80 for the night. Also plan to burn a tank of gas at the track itself, and use up the better part of a set of front brake pads.

I'm going to go for either the June SCCA event, or the August PDA event, or maybe both. CART and PDA also have events at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock. I think I'm going to Lime Rock with CART in October. Hope to go to Watkins Glen next year.
