high performance driving

Looking to treat myself for my 44th birthday. Anyone know if there's any of those events or schools that let you drive an exotic within driving distance of Cincinnati?

Thanks

Saw that one. That's a good chunk of change for only three laps per car.

Extreme Experience has discounts on Groupon a couple times a year.

If you want the most bang for your buck, rent a Corvette or look for something unusual on Turo.

Fixed that for you.  Those cars will be set up to lower the limits and make them as idiot-proof as possible, which won't be much fun if you're not an idiot.

Plus, at least at NOLA, it isn’t 3-laps. It’s one relatively slow lap, and 1-3/4 laps at speed before pulling into the pits.

Checked out turo. Had an i8 on there and a 911. 

I'd say you should fly someplace for your driving experience.

Pick your favorite track with a local airport, taxi it over, drive the wheels off something fun, go have a great meal, fly home or stay at a local hotel and drive again before flying home.

Vegas, Laguna Seca, Sonoma, Thunderhill, Daytona, Watkins Glen

It's maybe a longer drive than you have in mind but consider http://www.hallettracing.net/school/, they're in Oklahoma west of Tulsa.  They do a great job and I think their prices are very competitive (full disclosure: the track and school are owned by family members.)
