Cheers Rainman, I will pick those books up right away. Really looking forward to the school, thinking I might sign up for Lev 3 as well in Sept. Is it common for people to repeat these levels after they have taken them? Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Everyone! Went to my first track day on a whim with my 2000 Honda VFR (sport touring bike) in September, and you know the rest. 5 track days later, a new (for me) 07 CBR 600rr track bike, and a wife wondering what the hell has gotten into me and why we don't hang out on weekends anymore I also realized I have no idea what I am doing out there, so got Twist 3 dvd and starting applying some of the concepts, but the fact is I have always been someone who needs to be "Shown", not "Told". Just signed for Level 1 and 2 at NJMP May 8th and 9th. Questions 1. Any advice on how to prepare for the school? 2. Biggest thing the track day coaches (who are great by the way) have told me is to tighten up my apexes. I don't know how to do that. I am 3 feet or more away from those cones. I am afraid I am going to run off the track. I've been told I have decent throttle control (the one thing I tried to work on after watching twist 3), but can't figure out this apex/line thing, will level 1 and 2 address that? 3. Going to do a couple of track days before the school, any area I should focus on? I can't wait to go to school!! It's going to be a long winter <sigh> See you in May! Here's me on track day #3 at NJMP And track day #6 at Summit Main Comments, criticisms WELCOME.
