yeah I had my jollies going for sure.  It was definitely worth the 125 for the track day. 

mm, maybe you missed the tone there.
Like this is the racing, no?

A lot of folks on this Board seem to favor the CSS, including me.  I value my $ to the extreme, I also teach and this was/ is an excellent class and priceless IMO.  Can't say I've heard that about the 'other' guys class in terms of structure and value.
Gm2 said it before, if you ride a motorbike, even if you never ride track again, CSS is a must...I kick myself for waiting as long as I did (2yrs.) to sign up.


There's a fine line between clever and stupid.

Here is a summary of the CLASS trackday.

1.  No flags.
2.  No corner workers.
3.  No crash truck.
4.  Lecture on NOT counter steering.
5.  Lecture on body steering.
6.  Lecture on NOT late apexing.

It rained out and I ended up crashing mid day.  I had a dislocated shoulder, a bike stuck in gear, and i had to push it off of a hot track while dodging other riders.

jesus!  really sorry to hear that.   >:( :(

i've used the term 'irresponsible' more than once in relation to Reg's school...


when you heal up, go to CSS.  i think you'll have an extra appreciation for it.

take care.

fwiw: yesterday at CSS during one of the sessions 2 guys ran off track.  course control red flagged the whole session, pulled everyone in and from across the track you could hear him yelling at them about settle down, this is not a race, you're out there to do specific drills not pass eachother, etc etc.  they take safety there very seriously.
