I know I learned more in a couple days at the track
then I ever did in the two years previous only riding on the street.
There's something about being able to take the same turn over
and over again that helps with the learning.

I'm a much better street rider now. Could I have learned all I know
by just riding the street? Maybe but I'd be risking alot more
than rashed body work in the process. A six inch curb may as well be
a six foot wall if you are sliding on the ground after going down.
at least at the track there are no curbs or lamp posts.

You know if you are on the fence check it out.
Tony's Day is one of the most newbie friendly days around.
I made the mistake of taking my first day at Penguin School
which was mostly for new racers, that sort of set me back a bit, but
I kept at it. And pretty soon you get addicted. Once addicted the money dont matter you'll find a way to go.
