Higgins is much cheaper than O'Neils and likely much better instruction. Wife and I are going in June, but we'll already be in Wales.

If you have your own car, one to one with Pat Richard is probably the best option.

O'Neils is recognized by RA, where as Eklunds and Richard is considered. Eklund does a good job of basics for both driver and co-driver. My son has attended 2 of these. They are local and affordable. The only downside is the format for driving lends itsself more to rallyX than rally. That's a side effect from having a small course to deal with. You get a lot of 1st, 2nd gear basics, no real moderate or high speed stuff. Also usually on dirt not gravel. We had considered, and still may, do a day with Richard for Brent.

We are working on a practice day in early January, got insurance just need a suitable road closer to Oly/Tacoma area.

For YOU, the best school is at

2007 S 126th St

I am serious. There is nothing that they can tell you that can't be learned here.

Where are those Toiletta knuckles?

I did the Ivor School in florida it only made me 7 seconds a mile faster...
