Default Trying to Get on the track...

Hey guys, I'm trying to get on the track and am going to get a suit and boots on Friday. I have also scheduled to get the bike track prepped when I get my recalled 2CT front tire replaced. I would appreciate it if some of you guys could point me in the right direction as to where I can get information regarding track days/track schools within a decent range(150miles) of the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. Thanks.

Track days and hopefully progress to racing...I can get my knee down(well I could but don't have a suit so I can't really say I've done it) but I know that I have a lot to learn before I can go out and try to race. So track days/track schools for now and maybe race next season or late this season if I progress very rapidly.

the Cornerspeed school at Virginia International Raceway is amazing. I've been there three springs in a row.... and it's a 14 hour drive for me.... one way. I can't recommend them enough, I highly suggest you look into their events. They do both track days and race schools.

www.teampromotion.com
and the other suggestions...or if you have a news stand pickup...roadracing world magazine which has extensive schedules in the back.

You'll probably want to go to Summit Point (there are three tracks...try to do 'Main') or VIR..both are a blast!
