Race School - It's not just for novices!

[rybo]

I hereby challenge you to find a better value in racetrack instruction!

For $200 you get a classroom session on friday evening and a full day of instruction at HPR on either Saturday or Sunday. The MRA Race School is one of the best values anywhere in racing both for riders who are new to our sport and for those of us who have worn out more than a few sets of tires at the racetrack!

Our New Rider Director along with his instructional
team all have many years of experience racing
motorcycles. Many of the instructors are class
champions in the club and all posses the ability to
teach others how to move around the racetrack
faster.

Looking to breakthrough? Looking to blow the
cobwebs off ? Looking for some high value
feedback from some of the best riders in the club?
The MRA Race school is exactly the place to get it.

Registration is still open, and we have space for you
to join us. Just fill out the Race School Application
form and send it in!

To take part in the MRA Race Schools, you must have full protective leather gear. This includes a high quality Snell rated helmet, leather jacket, pants, and high quality gloves and boots. Roadracing is a serious sport, and you should always make safety your first concern.

For the race school, your current bike should be in good working order. Roadracing puts MUCH more stress on your motorcycle compared to "canyon carving" - and you should make sure your bike is good shape with good tires, tight steering head bearings, etc etc. For the school, you are not required to "safety wire" any parts, but are required to tape up your lights and mirrors.

Quick Pre-School CheckList:

Bike:
Mirrors and lights taped up
Functional steering damper
Gasoline
Tire air pressure gauge

Rider:
Helmet(snell95 or better)
Leathers(1pc. or 2pc. that zip all the way around)
Back protector
Leather Gloves
Boots
Water or Gatoraide
Lunch/snack
Pens/Paper
Friend to help you on the track day
Shade from the sun
Your AMA card or reciept


There are a great many details that must be covered when it comes time to set up your motorcycle to race with the MRA outside a school such as a steering damper, case guards, belly pan, and other such items. These items MUST be done before you will be allowed to race with the MRA, and each and every Sunday race morning the MRA "tech's" each motorcycle to ensure your safety. The expert racers of the MRA are generally willing to answer questions, and people such as the MRA New Rider Director (Mark Schellinger) are always willing to help. Contact Mark with specific questions regarding roadracing with the MRA for the first time.
