Anyone know of any track day activities in or around the southern MS area. I'd really like to take one of those courses, but I got nothing. I'm thinking there's gotta be something nearby.

Didn't see anything in Mississippi, but a starting point to look maybe: http://www.roadracingworld.com/resources/tracks/?S ORTBY=NAME

Of course there's nothing for MS....damn!! I'll have to look at the site when I get off. It's blocked here. Hopefully there's something in AL or lower AL (Florida). Thanks.

There are MSF and Riders Edge Courses available here in Mobile, AL.

As far as track riding goes there's Barber Motorsports and Talledega GP in Birmingham, AL. Also there's No Sweat Raceway just south west of New Orleans and Jennings GP in Florida.

Most Track Days offer instructions and class time for Novice riders. It's not track school but you will learn a ton if you've never ridden on a track before. I think most "Track Schools" are geared towards more experienced track riders.

I did a track day at Jennings last fall and loved it. Unfortunately, time and money have been sparse so I haven't been back yet. But soon, very soon.

Where are you in MS?

Sorry.... I'm assuming you're a novice rider.
If you're not, I do believe there are track schools at Barber.

Since he's deployed to Kuwait, I'm gonna guess Gulfport.

Further east here you have Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC and Roebling Road (sp?) in Savannah, GA.

Cool, New Orleans is closer to where I am or will be. I'm a novice rider so that'll be nice.

I'm in Gulfport, MS man.

Well, I'm not really deployed. I came over here as a contractor. So, I actually had a choice, but the money ain't bad and the Buell will be paid off soon.

Cool, keep me posted if you do a track day, I might meet you there. I swear I'm starting to jones for one.

Also if you're ever over in Mobile let me know, there are a lot of sport bikes and bike nights over here.... not many Buells though.
