  1. I am thinking about attending level one at VIR on 05/19th.Its about 3 hours ride from my place.I was thinking about riding there and then riding back is that recommended ? anyone done that before This would be my 1st track day and i dont plan on going way fast just want to learn how to go around the corners.Can we setup and leave the bike at VIR the night before . I have around 4000 miles experience under my belt and wanted to start by getting the right training so that i dont build bad habits or should i wait and get some more experience before doing school i surely want to do level one either in May or when school returns to VIR in September i just thought if i take the school now i would have whole summer to practice that Also i was planning to bring a voice recorder to records classroom lectures is that allowed ? Thanks
  2. Couple of days ago i posted a question on the cornering forum . I dont know if this article was in response for that or not but For some reason it felt like keith code was talking to me and answering questions and needless to say i am sold on CSS.By the way heres my post http://forums.superbikeschool.com/index.php?showtopic=782
  3. I have been riding for about 6 months now with around 3000 Miles under my belt.I have read Both TOTW and TOTW 2 and watched the DVD. Recently i started in pursuit of going faster and increasing my skill set and went to track. All i did was scared myself and went off track couple of times but also did reach some perosnal lean angle and speed limits.I was riding fast for my skill level and was getting passed like i am parked.Everybody seemed to be wayyyy faster than me.I got so discouraged that even thought about selling my sportbike and maybe its not for me.But i really love this sport and want to work on it I hope to take level 1 ASAP hopefully this may in VIR.And learn the Basics right away.Problem is i know what i am supposed to do but freeze when i am going fast and unable to do these things At speed everything get thrown out of the window. I know that i am supposed to countersteer hard but i am tipping the bike like a little girl. I am making midcorner steering corrections as opposed to one steering input per corner as keith talks about. I know i can lean the bike further but get scared of leaning it more. And worst of all i am looking only 20 to 30 feet ahead of the bike and reacting to it as opposoed to 2 step or 3 step process i have read in the books. What do i need to do to avoid these things ? Maybe Slow down. But i can do all these things at slower speed. How did you guys got here where you are right now ? Would getting more seat time or more miles under the belt help ?.But i dont wanna keep on doing the wrong things
