    You're good to go for the new riders school through Fastrack and Matthias will be your instructor.

    I hope you take the time to post an update on your days!

    A) Did you take the riders school because you wanted to or had to?
    ANSWER....YES I DID
    B) Did you take the trackday because you wanted to or had to?
    ANSWER....YES I DID
    C) How many races did you compete in?

    D) How did you finish? Times?

    E) What did you learn?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very curious.

    P.S. I'm willing to bet you never unload the bike!
    GUESS I LOST THAT BET (NOT THE FIRST TIME THOUGH)
    IMO.....No offense intended.
    But if you do race, good luck!
    SINCE YOU'RE RACING....GOOD LUCK

    I don't think I have seen your registration go through for the Racer School and track day. Send me a private message if you want me to call you to register you. Thanks, Dave

    Ok, can I bring cash tomorrow or pay now?


    Also, will there be a tire vendor on site? The 160/60 I ordered is too wide

    Yo thanks Robert!

    bad news tho. I got hit with a letter in the mail today that says i owe $400 in taxes for 2008. theres no way i can race now.

    however i am still showing up at the racers school and doing my best to get that license and learn everything i can.

    i feel like a dick for having Mongo and SpaCovers go out of
    their way to help me and now i cant even race. im really sorry guys and thank you for your help. i WILL race with you guys next season and hopefully i can still make it to the track on october 2 and 3 to mess around.

    if i get my license tomorrow is it still good for next season?

    If you make it up tomorrow, feel free to stop by our pits after your classes and ask questions. My son races and his number is 148. Red/White/Blue 125 and a flat black SV650.

    Do the school. If everything goes well you can buy a license for $110 which is good for 12 months.
