Can anyone recommend a good race school?? Never been on a track before, before I put my Speedy T on one I figure It might be a good idea to do a race school or similar, preferably on their bike not mine For first attempt... What's your thoughts? Recommendations or simply where to get the best deals?? Thanks
The Chris Walker Race School or Honda Ron Haslam Race School There are plenty of novice days around as well where only new riders are allowed on. These are good to start off.
Thanks Metbandit, I will check these two out... Figure the school would be best start before the novice day...
I've done the Ron Hasalm and it was very good.. A mate did the Ron with me and he has since done the Chris walker as well.. He said he preferred the Chris walker. Was a brilliant afternoon and very informative sessions.. There is a lot more classroom time apparently.. There is a good possibility we will both be going again this year..to Chris Walkers school.. But no matter which one you go too you will have a great time.... Watching Ron lap the track is something else... He is faster with a pillion than 90% of the students if not more.....
Hi Jim I did the Chris Walker race school and really enjoyed it. The instructors were brilliant on the track and Jamie Whitam taught us loads of little tips ( which worked a treat) in the classroom . Although I wasn't anywhere near the quickest round Mallory I still managed to slice 15 seconds off my first lap ( 3 hours 12 min 26 sec :biggrin by the end of the day . You will be looking £400+ for a half day which is a little steep but it's certainly a day to remember .
Did you ever have a go Jimdiesel , just wondered because I would have recommended the Californian superbike school , I don't know whereabouts you're from in the country but they mainly work from Rockingham , although they do go to other circuits occasionally .
Not sure Jim is still an active member here as the traitor has sold his Triumph and is moving to a Bavarian Tractor. Not sure he did the race school thing but will ask him next time I see him.
