Default performance driving school?

I feel like the driver mod should the first one to do, so here is the question:
anybody here took a performance driving course, like http://www.faasst.com/
or other places?
do you see alot of stock/modestly modded cars at those events or is it all racing nuts with street illegal setups?
is it worth the few hundred$ for one day?
i have a stock/stick 07'GT

I spent a couple days at a twisty track event and honestly it was probably the best fun I've had in my car.

If drag racing is like a quick jittery burst from doing speed, then driving around with the instructor was like a long euphoric, cocaine fueled adrenaline rush. Day to day even I notice I've taken some cues (rev matching, going around big on-ramp loops without using less brake more clutch/pedal).

I took it in the Vette. Was probably the most fun I've ever had driving. My car was stock, along with a lot of the cars out there. I've always rev matched and used a lot more clutch and go pedal more than brakes.

A lot of 'Vette owners go there. I have heard nothing but great things.
