@khill I wanted to say thank you for putting together such a helpful resource that is available to everyone. I have been listening to your podcasts for a couple years now (I keep re-listening) and it has accelerated my learning 10 fold. I have only done a handful of trackdays but through your lessons and methodology, I am now riding in expert group at my local track and registering to race next year. One of your podcasts mention to pick ONE voice and listen it, probably the single most beneficial piece of advise to get. Many coaches have helped me at the track with track specific problems but almost everyone has complimented my riding skill and etiquette for such a new rider and I tell them I learned from Ken Hills podcasts. Thanks again Ken, Kurt
