I dont know what the tracks policy is regarding that or if you would be able to use the track earlier in the day, wihtout renting it out or something. I have to agree with Storamin an instructor is very benificial and you will learn much more. I have only driven this corse once at a 2 day drivers school and got signed off on the begining of the second day, its a really safe corse (flat with nothing to run into), and i can only help you so much in regards to your line and such, since our cars are somewhat different (especially in wieght), but yea come on out and I will let you know when we are planning on going.
