I want to get 1/2 or a full day of instruction on the track this year. I wanted to go to STAR but it's not at HPR now. Is there anything else at HPR this year? Lapping days are fun but I want one on one time

I don't ride PPIR or Pueblo so anything there is out.

Well... when Rybo gets better, there's Chicane. And when Orlando gets better there's his school, .. dammit.. everybody's getting hurt.

Looks like from that thread it's pretty much gonna be chicane. I'll have to get a hold of Scott to see if he's sorted things out yet. Sucks that him and ricky are both injured

Mike Applehans has been an instructor for the MRA race school for many years and has helped quite a few people. I am not sure if he has any kind of a structured program or a fee schedule but you might get a hold of him and see if he would work something out with you.

He is facilities manager @ HPR so you could probably get a hold of him there.

+1 for Mike. He was my instructor in the MRA race school. He's hcr25 here.

Oh that Mike. I've talked to him once before. Always see him out there racing. Fast as hell. I'll send him a pm

Definitely....Mike is one of the local guys you would want to get a hold of. Not just an extremely fast rider, but also knows how to instruct/teach. Take a 2012 woodcraft catalog to him and have him autograph it for you haha.
