    MRA New Racer Schools April 11th and 12th

    The MRA will be having two schools in April for new riders to get their 2009 MRA Racing License. Cost for the school is $200 per rider. This class makes you eligible to buy an MRA racing license, but the cost does not include the license itself. If you complete this class but do NOT want to purchase an MRA race license, we provide you with an HPR Lapping Day License at no additional cost.

    This school is taught by two-time MRA #1 plate holder Mark Schellinger.

    MANDATORY Friday evening (April 10th) classroom from 6pm - 9pm for BOTH schools.

    The track day portion for School #1 is Saturday, April 11th
    The track day portion for School #2 is Sunday, April 12th

    Saturday school and Sunday school will be ALL DAY riding & instruction. Groups of 3-4 riders per instructor. Broken up by experience, displacement and type of bike.

    Attention given to bike setup (general), tire pressures (brand specific), suspension settings (general), and anything you'll need to pass MRA tech.

    Start procedure, body position, turn in point, increasing radius, decreasing radius, trail braking, etc, etc, etc...

    Tons of on-bike practical experience, AND all the info on MRA specific racing stuff like registration, pre-tech, tech, flags, everything...

    Was going to take this but finances preclude racing this year.
    Out of curiosity, how long after taking the class do you have to get a license, and then how long till you have to take part in a race to keep your qualification?
    Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.

    The certification is good for two years to buy a license. Once you have the license you can renew without taking a class up to three years after your most recent RACE. If you buy the license but never actually enter a race, it's no different than just having the certificate.

    I am interested in this. After the IMI day on the 22nd. I'm hooked. Do they have bikes or bring your own? I'm new to the scene, especially where racing is involved so all the knowledge I can get is a bonus.

    I don't know the exact numbers, but at the MRA meeting last night they mentioned there's still room in both classes.
