Racing help

I'm really going to try to "race" next season! I know there are racing schools out there. I've never been to one. But I would surely think there is one of you EXPERT racers out there that would willing to be my teacher. I have done many track days with Lonestartrackdays.com over the past three years and have learned a great deal! But I have some problems on the track, mainly with passing and braking to name a couple things (I'm sure there are many things) I guess I worry that I'm going to piss someone off or cause and accident (that's pathetic! lol)
Tomorrow if all goes well, I'll be returning with an Aprilia Rs250 and that's what I've chosen for my real first Racebike!

After having ridden my TL1000s at the last trackday, I realized that my Ex500 is ready to be put aside. I hope the Aprilia will be the ticket!

If this is an unrealistic approach regarding a teacher, then I'll seek out a race school. I just feel I'd like a mentor/role model.

I'd like some feedback on this topic please. I don't know how I would do this: like on a track day or at a track like Henderson where you can go to the track at a lesser rate or at a trackday. Agh! and what kind of payment for services rendered.

I guess this couldn't possibly happen until better weather; it's so unpredictable right now!

what do you think guys?
Sincerely,
Denee'

Try Ty Howard, he has a program at MSR or Marcus McBain will do one at Oakhill. I've done Ty's and picked up a few seconds on my personal bests, and I'm still trying to get together with Marcus for some one on one. Good Luck and see you on the grid.

Thanks Buck, I'll give one of those guys an email. Or maybe they'll see my thread: hope hope.

If you have been doing track days that is great experiance. The race school will teach you about the flags and what to do in different situations, red flag or black flag, things like that. They do give you help about riding but alot about safty.
Get your license and get out there. You have any questions there are alot of experts that will help you.
Your best track time is endurance, and you hold your line, they'll find a way around you.
If I can answer any questions for you I would be happy to.

Thanks Darnell,
I do have my race license, CMRA #298, and did the races to get it. I love my number! I would love to do endurance, but I just have this thing about someone riding my bike! Is that selfish? no one treats your bike as well as you will.

I guess I'll just look for the next race school. I feel I'm ready to progress and anxious to get back to the track!
