Honestly, I took the school and have a race license, but I took it like 2 years ago and havent actually raced, so I am not sure what level it is... I just go to track days once the season is started up. I get more time on the track for the money that way. SMRI charges $70 for the first race, and all other races are tiered ($60 for second $50 for third and so on.) I get a track day for $75 and get the whole day essentially. I am considered intermediate I guess though. not quite up to that expert level yet. close! but not close enough lol.
