I took the one week long Bondurant class a while back. An excellent class and adjacent to an Indian Casino.

I had a great experience at Bob Bondurant.

Good luck.

I did Bondurant too and also thought it was good but the op was asking for a so. cal school. Being GT specific and in So. Cal (Willow Springs) Richard fits the bill nicely.

From all the heresay over the years, I believe the Bonderant School of High Performance Racing is regarded as the best.

Tallcarguy also runs schools specifically for GT's from time to time.

King Ralphie knows best.

Also, just last year, Bondurant got the Formula Mazda open cockpit race cars. These are the mid-engine and will give you a real feel comparison to our GT's.

I had so much fun in the open cockpit.

To someone from Nor Cal anything south of Bakersfield is So-Cal and they can keep it!:wink To me Rosamond ( Willow Springs) is firmly in So-Cal much more than Bondurant (Chandler, Az.).

And for us guys from Phoenix ...anything north of San Diego is not SoCal. :rofl
