It's also common to call drivers or instructors that are worshipers of the regimented skip barber system of driving, skippy's.
Skip Barber is one of the few real racing schools left in the world(although much of their business is corporate and entertainment these days) and they certainly do teach a lot of valued skills and you can learn a hell of a lot. Some of it though is out of date for 2010. Just my opinion, but still not a bad place to learn.
Skip Barber IRC got out of direct involvement with the ownership of the school about 10 years ago and makes plenty leasing buildings and the track back to the school.
