^^  You read my mind, I was going to ask the same thing.  That looks like it would be a blast!

I did the equivaent of the Thrill of a Lifetime 3.  It is a bit pricey and Thrill of a lifetime 2 might be worth it. 

Best would be to get your company to do a corporate day there  ;D

I would be up for that.  The online registration shows July 30 and September 8 as available dates for individuals ($1395 for the Thrill of a Lifetime 3 Session Plus https://www.race2000.com/courses/tlf3p).  It's a similar price per person for corporate events (12 or 16 participants), could select the date.  Anyone else interested?
