Wouldn’t it make more sense to ask THEM? All you have to do is to ask the
800 directory for Skip Barber’s toll-free number.  But because I’m a nice
guy (and I liked the school), I’ve done that for you. Call (800)
221-1131. Don’t forget to dial 1, before the number.
Good luck,
Ivan

How expensive is it? And what more do they teach you in the 3-day version?

I took the 1-day Skip Barber Advanced Driving School at Lime Rock Park in
Connecticut a few years ago.  Highly recommended.  I wish I has the $$ to go
again, and for the 3-day version.  In the one day class, they teach threshold
braking, skidpad usage, and a lot of technique on an autocross course.  
Excellent instructors, and you get to toss around someone elses BMW M3s.
I had a blast and I plan to take my daughter to a "Skippy school" after she
learns to drive (in about 12 years ;) .  They also have a series of racing
schools, but the Advanced classes are more practical and useful.
