Hi Matt, I attended the Keith Code Cal Superbike School, Best money I ever spent. It was only one day, but they taught you step by step how to go faster. This was in 2001 , I was 39 years old and had been riding for 29yrs(dirt& street bikes) I thought I was a pretty fast street rider, oh boy was I wrong! I learned more in that one day then in the 22 yrs of street riding I had done. Is it worth the money? Oh Yes !!!

How much $$$ are those classes going for. I would like to get my race license in the next few years, 2 kids slows down the process.

Robert, my one day class was $540.00 (bike included) $340.00 if you use your own bike. Now I still had to go to the CMRA school to get my Race License (75.00 school + $100.00 Race license) I don't know about the clubs in your area they may do it differently.

Steve, I live in Oceanside. Is that the course in Temecula? I wanted to know if any track experience is necessary. I have never been on the track and in no way claim to be fast in the canyons.

I haven't taken one yet, but I hear they teach you more then you could ever learn on your own.

I'd love to find a school in New England, anyone know of any?

I've heard that Penguin roadracing school is great. They race at Loudon, NH. I haven't been to any schools but I do track days with NESBA and have learned a lot from the control riders.

A good school is the cheapest way to reduce your lap times, or if you prefer increase your speed.

It looks expensive until you consider most schools cost about the same as a set or 2 of tires.

I don't consider proper gear a "real" cost since it's something you should have anyway if you are
in the class of riders that take interest in a track school.

You will be a faster, and SAFER rider at the end of the experience. For the rest of your life.

Can't say the same about any tires I've ever heard of.

something to consider.
