Last Saturday I had a lot of fun at the Mazda Rev It Up performance driving school in NYC.
For 40$ and a few hours time I learned some useful things about car control from pro drivers, and got to practice in shiny new Mazda's equipped with some really sticky tires.
Sure there is a bit of Mazda soft-sell going on, but was a lot of fun S.E.C racing (Somebody Else's Car) and pushing the limits of braking and cornering in a safe environment.
Besides the winner of the overall competition will win a new Mazda 3 (which I would sell to buy more mods for my PT, of course

).
