It's a 4.5 hour event. I'm going to bed a small part of it will be for tutorial and the awards reception at the end.

$300 for half day session of class time and seat time is a relative bargain. The fact they throw in 2 meals and a helmet to use just sweetens the deal.

Lets do it guys. Go for the Ultimate! Why wait in line for the Saturday/Sunday event when you can get more wheel time and professional instruction in the IS-F on Friday! 4.5 Hours of IS-F fun on a real race track. You can't get that anywhere else.
