I did my first Tony's Track Day in May of last year, and have been to every one since!

Penguin Race School is just that... a RACE SCHOOL... Their focus is on teaching you rules & regs to get into racing.
Tony's Track Days are geared towards STREET RIDERS and helping you hone your riding skills for the street.
As you can see from my bio on the TTD website, I did my first Tony's Track Day with only 3 months & 5k miles of riding experience & it was an incredibly positive life changing experience for me. I've never once regretted it.
If you do decide to come to a TTD event in 2008, I'm scheduled to be at every one of them. Be sure to come say hi & introduce yourself  |
I haven't done a racing school (yet!) but I have heard a few similar comments that Penguin's is for learning the rules of racing. Pete and the other instructors at Tony's are current or past racers, and some have championships under their belts. They are capable of teaching a n00b how to get around the track, and as you gain experience, they can share many tips on how to become faster!
I highly recommend you join us for a TTD event...
PS: I don't work for TTD, I'm just a satisfied customer.
