yes, ccs offers a race school. If memory serves me correctly they run them on Fridays at NJMP.

CCS does not run a school. However, check this link.

The 2012 schedule is not up yet but there will be a school at Summit Point for the Memorial Day weekend. You do your school and get licensed during the practice day, then, you are good to go for the race weekend.

Not only is it convenient for you, but, you will be supporting the organization that provides the corner workers for your racing pleasure. It never hurts to support those who support you!

What's your opinion on someone attending the school on a track they're not familiar with? I run intermmediate with all my groups @ NJMP (either track), but have never been to Summit. Not sure if I'm biting off more than I can chew learning a track & being in that type of riding mentality.

There are advantages to taking the school at a track you are unfamiliar with. First, the school is not about speed but about safety. Your lap times are irrelevant. Without any habits from a known track, you can focus on learning what you are being taught.

Summit only has 10 turns and is easy to learn anyway. Come on out and you will have a blast!

It's a lot cheaper too! Only $35 gate fee for the entire weekend and $20 for power (plenty of it too). That's it.
