I am sorry to say, but they stopped doing the rally school / experience at VIR. I went to talk to them about few weeks ago when I was at VIR doing HPDE and they told me it wasn't paying off financially. They continue to use their gravel stages for other programs (ATVs, corporate events, etc.)

Needless to say I was dissapointed myself!

I have considered doing both O'Neil's and Wigham's schools. O'Neil is awfully expensive, but the prices seem in line with what any other true racing school would be. Wigham's is cheaper and closer to me, both plusses. I'm sure either of them would be fun.

Seconded.

Here's some links to some discussions about rally schools and Tims (Team O'Neil)

Well worth every $$ spent.

Everything I've heard about O'Neil's school has been really positive. Only downside is cost. There's a place in Quebec about 90 miles north of Montreal called Mecaglisse that runs a rally school. You can choose to run on tarmac or dirt. The guy who runs the place used to run the factory Audi rally team in Austria. Cool guy.

We're doing a driving school up there this summer with the BMW Club of Quebec. Open to all BMW CCA and PCA members, if you're interested (I'm assuming you're a member of the NJ Chapter of the BMW CCA, right? If not...you should join! They run some great events).
