If you have track experience and feel comfortable I would go for the time trail - the big track is fast and fun. Even there the instructors are typically willing to take a ride with you or just discuss the track. If I can get Roxanne ready for the school I plan to take the race class.
For the race group/class the car neats a roll bar. I plan to put in an Autopower cage - a 6 point cage is $750 custom fit for the milano - bolt in. Alternatively, I could opt for lesser protection as a more "simple" roll bar is sufficient to qualify the car. Though, I'm leaning towards the 6 point cage:

What do you guys think?
