Track schools / riding classes

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!

Riding 2.0
I don't have the details, I'm sure other members have it.

I think Zoom Zoom's Roadriding 2.0 course is a nice intermediate step between the MSF and full track schools.  You might also look at MSF's ERC.

Z2's RR2.0 course is a much better learning environment than the MSF's parking lot drills. 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.

When you feel ready for a track school, the Keigwins Novice school is excellent. Everybody is new to the track and the instruction is great.

Perfect - Thank you!  The ZZ2 seems like a great 1st step towards Keigwins.  At $100, keeps it in range of doable financially and timing.  Can't always negotiate kid free for two full days!

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.
