    Track Schools...Any New Ones?

    Has anyone heard if there will be any new school since Turn2 is gone? I wanted to get out last year but did not get a chance and was going to this year. Or do we have to choose between Fast and Racer5?

    Did you do both and can compare or just did the Racer 5 and liked it? Just trying to get different views of them.

    I am not a new rider but obviously can always learn and be a better rider. I am not going to be racing anytime soon, just want to get out on the track and try it while making myself a better rider on the street.

    I have done the Fast phase 1 and two...I have now seen the course and ridden the 125s (cause Fawaz is nice enough to let me) and if I was to do it again I would def go to Racer 5.....more for your money and come out with better skills. I am not trying to knock the Fast program though. It is good aswell

    I did both FAST and RACER5 and in my opinion RACER5 is a much better deal. I paid same with RACER5 for 4-days of track time as opposed with one day with FAST. I thought stage 3 with RACER5 was pretty cool since you get to actually participate in a race with your fellow classmates.

    Common complaint is that your using CBR125's for RACER5 while you can rent a 600cc bike with FAST. But I thought I was able to get a lot more out of the course since I wasn't as nervous as I would be on a 600cc.

    I wouldn't be nervous on the 600 as that's what I ride, I would actually prefer to have my bike on the track.

    I did both Turn2 and Racer5...
    Racer5 would be more preferable to start with.
    Really, first day or two you gonna hate this damn 125, but when you will start feel that bike on the third day it will give you back a lot!

    How is it the same price for four days with Racer 5 as one day with FAST?

    What? I asked how they are the same price.

    FAST - $359 or $559 depending if you use your bike or theirs
    Racer5 - Intro package - $999

    Racer 5, 4 day thing used to be $799. Racer five still ends up being cheaper if you look at it per day.
