Title: Race/Track Schools?
Post by: RocketJockey on September 13, 2006, 08:21:37 AM
Anyone ever attended a track school that was worth re-visiting? I'm located in the Midwest but willing to travel relatively far for a good experience. What I'm looking for mostly is low rider to instructor ratio, class time to review videos and techniques in addition to the tracktime. Another big thing that I'm looking for is instruction on how to come to a new track and to learn it quickly. After being away from the US for so long it is difficult getting re-adjusted to the rough surfaces and poor track/safety conditions (when compared to Japanese circuits).
I'm also interested in hitting some of the basic suspension setup hints/tips necessary for dialing in each track.

Anyone with first hand experience with schools/instructors that offer similar services I would be very interested.

Thanx!

California Superbike School.  www.superbikeschool.com

Keith Code has taught thousands of riders and racers (if not 10's of thousands) from newbies to MotoGP champions and everything in between.  The curriculum works.

No, I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of meeting him. I will surely make the effort to enroll in one of his schools. Thanx for posting the link

Of course!
I think I saw a few dates that were even here in the Midwest. I will try to attend this one as well.

Thanx again for your posts.

Jason Pridmore and his STAR School come to the Autobahn once a year for a two day school.  Good price and very low instructor to teacher ratio.

As for Super Dave, you might want to check out Blackhawk October 18.  He'll be there with the school and so will I.
