I was wondering if CSS has considered adding a stop in your tour, to the new track opening in the Salt Lake City Area - Miller Motorsports Park? Perhaps this might allow more sportbike / racing enthusiasts in the Rocky Mountain region to attend since PPIR is no longer on the tour. Track and facilities look pretty cool http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/ As a side note, I was wondering if CSS might consider doing a school in conjunction with the AMA event scheduled for June 16 - 18, 2006, which was officially announced earlier this month (September). http://www.amasuperbike.com/article.php?UI...c=1120&aid=6892

Do they ever run Sears Pt Counterclockwise? I'm trying to imagine the ride going "up" the carousel and out of turn 4.

Paroxysm: As a recent student of CSS, (Dec. 10-11 - Sears Point) in Levels I and II, and a Newbie to motorcycle riding (possibly the student Cobie refers to in above post); the instruction given from the CSS staff was excellent. Students had a variety of riding experience, street and track. At first, I was intimidated by "the track", "track conditions" (raining), and the experienced riders enrolled. Although, once we had gone through the preliminary introductions, course rules, class topics and expectations, and a few guided laps around "the track" the humming birds turing around in my stomach quickly reduced to just butterflies. The individual attention given by the on course instructors provides instand feed back, and your confidence starts to build. Lessons and skill lectures allow students to hear feedback from the other students and the wise interjections from Keith and Cobie are added value. You should have a real comfort level about using the controls and being on a bike. The drills taught are necessary skills for on the road and are HUGE benefits to being a safe rider on the street. Don't be afraid to learn from these guys - they are not afraid to teach you the proper skills and build your confidence to become a better rider. I am already planning ahead to attend Levels III and IV classes (once I have put the Level I and II to practice and need the additional instruction to post better times at track days). I am 40, just got my first bike a few months ago, got the bug to learn correctly and now want to spin laps at the local track - now I understand the addictive nature of motorcycle riders. Thanks CSS - I am enjoying my new hobby even more
