in a perfect world, i'd take all 3. but in my "new racer/empty wallet" world, i have to choose. i might be able to swing 2, but definitely not 3. i've been through penguin at loudon and have my CCS license - plan to start racing this year... anyone have first hand, or "reliable second hand" info/experience/feedback on any of these courses? advice on taking it at the particular tracks listed below would be helpful too! http://www.classrides.com/ Reg Pridmore school - Road America http://www.superbikeschool.com/ Keith Code school - Blackhawk http://www.schwantzschool.com/ Kevin Schwantz school - Road Atlanta thanks  D | ||

I've done RA with CLASS a few times (99,00,05) and I'll be with them there again this June, but I think a tighter track (ie BlackHawk or the CLASS I'll be at in October at Barber) would be more educational and entertaining. | ||

I highly recommend Frank Kinsey's school. http://www.kinseyracingschool.com/ | ||

From world class reputation, personal talent and written feedback over the years, if and when I take one there is only one answer, KEVIN SCHWANTZ!!! I thing Roadaracing World or some publication a few years back made it seem like loads of fun and good track time. | ||

If you're looking for race orientation, I'd steer clear of CLASS. For the very best, Freddie Spencer's school in Vegas. http://www.fastfreddie.com/ Vik | ||

Code takes it up to racing level. Class doesn't go that far but Jason does Star school which does. Spencer is top of the line but a few thousand bucks for the weekend. Fastrack Riders has a good group of on-track instructors who will work with you one-on-one if you ask (I have one of them racing my Buell here at Willow Springs for me as a matter of fact). Don't know what kind of local New Racer School training CCS offers since I transferred my license without taking their school - but if they're like most schools, heck, take it a few times and get some specific help from their instructors. If you ever come to Willow Springs on a race weekend, we offer an Advanced Race Clinic where you can learn such esoteric racing stuff as passing out of the draft, front wheel slides (and recovery) - fast traffic... all at an instructor/student ratio of never more than 1:3 | ||
