Sport Touring Track School - back for 2012

[canyonchaser]

The economy has taken it's toll and we were unable to put this on last year, but this year we've established a new Partnership with Salt Lake Motorsports to continue this great program.

So, in case you are not familiar, we've been putting on a Sport-Touring based track school since 2006.  The intention has always been rather than spend time teaching riders how to navigate a specific track, instead teach riders how to read any road, how to set entry speed, how to find safer lines through corners you've never seen before and how to more safely navigate a favorite canyon road. By teaching in a controlled environment at faster speeds than an MSF Experienced Rider Course, the training will offer a more intense, real-world experience.

Here's more information about the program;

We've done K1200 LT's.  I don't know if there is a heavier bike out there....

Damn...1200 miles away...

Please, please, please work with some east coast tracks and schools to do this! How about Barber, or Road Atlanta, hell Jennings would work!

Great program and I wish you the best.

Yeah come on Dave - expand a lot.
Would love to attend but I am on the wrong side  of the country.
Really wish that some east coast or mid-country tracks offered something similar to this course, rather than just another track day.
Good luck with runniing the course.

For east coasters:
Reg Pridmore and CLASS will be at VIR in July. CLASS has more of a street rider focus than most instructional track days, but doesn't talk much about reading a new-to-you twisty road aside from some discussion on line selection.

I know I would be interested if a sport-touring track day made its way to the mid-Atlantic.

You're on a sport-touring website with a balckbird and complain about the mileage?  


I guess that sounds about right.  

[hankd]

The issue would be getting enough time off to make the trip. We'll see...

[BIWOZ]

Hmmm ... that's about 14,000 miles too far away!  

[ambientboy]

well, 1070mi.  I suppose I could do my Iron Butt cert, nap for a day or two then do the class.

There's epic riding around the state of Utah.  You could make it part of your 10-day road trip this summer.  



You could also find a way to do Beartooth pass on the way here or on the way home...

Can't wait!!

[ChrisZRX]

Yes, come east.

[akahige]

I have already put in my request for enrollment  

[chosemerveilleux]

Right, about 2200 miles from N NJ.  More importantly 10 days before the school district I teach in lets out for the summer.  Sigh.

[ambientboy]

I would SO ride out to this but I can't make it from Nashville to the track in time.  

[morgeen]

I wish they would have this at the track in Colorado, there are a few nice tracks to practice on but the class would be awesome...

HPR would be a great facility for the program, but we are pretty small to be able to move around the country.

I'll second Reg Pridmore's CLASS.

I did it last year at VIR (Along with half of Mortin's BMW clientel) and had a blast.  Definately gave me the track bug.
