Any track weekends coming up for Noobs?

[noskills]

Are there any plans in the works for a track weekend that include a training day? If nothing local is being planned, what are my best options to get training at a track larger than IMI? May is the month that I go over the hill and I figure it's now or never.


Thanks,

Toby

Edit: I spoke too soon. I just caught this http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29572 Upon initial read I thought it was for experienced riders only, but then I saw the MRA training link. Any other training classes?

You're just saying that because you pass me repeatedly on the track. :(

I think Scott's "New rider orientation" is full for the 22nd?

MRA race class is at HPR on April 11-12 :)

New rider orientation ISN'T full, but my "never ever" free sessions are.


If you would like to take the new rider orientation course it is available free of charge when you sign up and pay for a trackday.

Thank you!

Super tempted. The price seems right. 120.00 right? Will the lessons put me in a place that I can ride PMP and maybe other tracks during open track days?

I currently have Full gear (two piece full zip suit), no coolant and no mirros, Pilot power rear and pilot power 2ct front. Am I good?

How much bike prep do you need to do the MRA class at HPR?

Best money you'll ever spend. The only other things you will need are:
Boots- over the ankle
gloves- gauntlet style, over the wrist
50% brake pad
50% tire tread
back protector

[daemon]

i still need the gauntlet gloves.
otherwise i'm all set for the "novice" class.....

Gear. Check! I now have my work shift covered. Looks like I'm signing up.

Anyone know if the PMP intro will allow me to ride open track days at other tracks? Also how much bike prep does the MRA class require?

You've got the price right!

Shiny has the bike/gear prep right.

The course is a "basic track orientation" course and you will get a card saying that you've completed the course with Chicane. Other tracks in the area have stated that they will honor this as proof of previous training.

MRA prep isn't much more rigorous. If your bike passes tech at my event it will pass tech for the MRA class. If you want to do the mock race at the end of the MRA event you bike must have a steering damper installed.

Hope to see you there!

Alrighty then. The bike is sound but has only had the mirrors pulled and the coolant dumped at this point. As long as I'm not required to be race wired then I'm all set.

See ya there.

[Sean]

I just thought of tapeing all lights and/or disconnecting them. Usually pretty easy and painters tape is $3-5 at Home Depot.

Daemon I have some A-stars GP gloves that should work for you if you need them. ;) KAWIFTW!

[dirkterrell]

Mike, I've got some A-stars GP Plus gloves in XXL if you need to borrow them. They are my second backup race gloves and practically new but broken in.
