Track days!

[RaceMeNSee]

Bonjour guys and gals!

One of my mates at work is looking at getting his missus a track day for her birthday! The thing isss....he really would like it to be really special....and to have like a Marshal/Teacher type of person to kinda spend the day with her and help her out with things if you know what i mean?! DO you guys know of anyone that does this!? any web sites or peoples or anything?! Didnt Harrie get loads of help from some of the marshals randomly at one of her track days!?

Most of the track days i have been on, their were instructors taking out the newbies to show them the circuit etc ! And were always on hand for advice !

There are always marshalls to help, but you need to ask for their help, maybe a few pounds donation to their bike fund might help?

Or why not send her to the California Superbike school?

Humm...yeah i was thinking about that! where abouts do they ACTUALLY do it though?! which track? is there a web site for it? humm...yeah i remembered the Track marshals giving advice...but never remembered them taking any of us out for any one on one?! Cheers guys!

all the trackday companies will arrange one to one instruction for you, all day if required. expect to pay about another £50-150 on top of the price of the trackday.

the main ones are

No Limits

Hottrax

Focused Events

just hit google for the websites.

the first 2 are highly recommended, the 3rd less so (in my humble experience)

my first ever trackday, i randomly attracted an instructor who worked with me for 2 sessions and was great. i caught up with him recently at Snetterton :love1 and he ogled my GSXR and was very surprised to hear i was racing (who wouldnt be, having seen my first ever trackday at Silvertone :laugh1)

the other ones where i've had instruction, i've just asked one of the marshalls or the person doing the signing on. they are only too happy to be asked and will help as long as they are available which they normally are.

the only place i know that have charged for a single session of instruction was booking directly through MSV, even this was only £25 per session. the quality varies hugely of course, some people are natural born instructors and some less so!
