Title: Track schools / riding classes Post by: johno on July 14, 2008, 05:12:08 PM Recommendations on early track/schools to take?
I have taken the MSF course. Am through Total Control and Twist of Wrist II for the first time - and practicing their drills. Seems like a next step past the MSF course would be very helpful at a track - yes? But, I am trying to sort out who does what to whom and where. Go to a track, is there a school, who provides the coaching - etc. Seems like I would get more out of something a little more structured than pavement that loops. I saw the list posted under local resources. But, thought the you might flush that out with pointers on suggestions for where to start with coaching/track/schools etc. Thank You! johno Title: Re: Track schools / riding classes Post by: 707soldier on July 14, 2008, 05:20:03 PM Riding 2.0
I don't have the details, I'm sure other members have it.

You might also look at MSF's ERC.

It's geared more towards real world riding, and not full-on track riding. By the end of the day, they will have you out on a racing line, and you'll get to see what riding a track day can be like. MSF's Experienced Rider Course is a good refresher of the basics, after you've been riding for a while, or you're looking for a nice insurance discount. For the money spent, the track time, and overall learning experience, take the RR2.0 course.

Everybody is new to the track and the instruction is great.

Can't always negotiate kid free for two full days! ;D Ah true, but the nice thing about doing 2 days back to back is getting a chance to really cement what you've learned on day 1. Plus not being under so much pressure to get it all done in one day. But you'll have a blast and learn so much, no matter what. There's just no way you can practice a corner over and over and over in the real world, while not having to worry about cars, dogs, cops, crap on the road, etc. |
