DJFlight Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi, just checking in from SLO and recently dropped my deposit for Laguna's 2 day school in April. Tracked cars for years, and just hopped on a bike last April, but have a couple track days under my belt (I am exponentially faster in cars than bikes, but would like to change that with time). I am looking to learn good habits and fundamentals, and get on freaking Laguna Seca! Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotfoot Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Welcome! Funny, I was just thinking yesterday about how I'd like to schedule a chance to get a CAR out to Laguna Seca. It's terrific on a bike, you'll have a blast. It's chilly sometimes, though, watch the weather, make sure you bring a warm layer if it is cool or damp or windy.

DJFlight Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately I got the email of death from Whitney telling me the course is full already... I'm trying to get at least 6 track days in this year, but I am slowwww on the bike and really new to the game... Am I better off doing a 1 day course, say in March, and then hitting the track 3 or 4 times, and then doing the 2 day course in September... Or should I just hit the track and do the 2 day course in September (or should I Just do a 1 day now, and a 1 day, level 2 course later)? Thanks!

benhamf15 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 The earlier you learn proper riding techniques, the sooner you'll get better/faster. If you learn improperly at the start, you'll have to un-learn bad habits later on and that will slow down your progress. For best results, I recommend getting as much training as possible as early as possible. Strictly from a training point of view, I wouldn't wait longer just so you can do them together if you don't have to. Logistics may dictate otherwise (for example, travel costs force you into only one two-day trip). This will give you the best foundation to build on. Good luck and enjoy!
