Default Jason Pridmore's Star Racing School

Last night I was checking the web for available track days and I realized that today was a School day for Star R.S. at Streets of Willow(California). I got the bike ready in half an hour, taped, removed mirrors on the Truck, gassed up. Woke up 6 in the morning, by 7.30 did the tech inspection, half an hour class, 20 min sessions. They talked a lot about body positioning and certain corners, we drove to a corner on a truck, got out, they showed the braking points and turning points. Had someone Demo it while we were on the side of the corner. Instructors follow you and they get in front of you too, couple laps after they pull you over and tell you what to work on. It was the best $300 I spent on a school(including high school )
As far as how I did, It's my second week on my CBR600RR, I'm getting used to the bike. I'm missing the torque of the liter bike. The bike was very stable and solid. My goal was to get myself back on real riding, and making home safe in my own truck(not the ambulance). I had a blast. Highly recommended!
Matt.

Yes it is. That's a good write up. I think he attended the first day, I did the second day.

I did Pridmore a few years ago, and it was a great experience. Thought I was kicking ass that day, until I rode bitch on Jason's Katana. He scared the hell out of me at first, but was sooooo smooth.
