Following the insight from
@tad158 and great advice
@The B Team provided, here’s my take on a graduated scale of increasing levels of support towards proficiency on the track:
1) N2 track day - work on your own training objectives if you’ve defined them
2) N2 track day - work with a Control Rider to get an outside set of eyes on your line and onboard skills (be aware he/she has other responsibilities to the sessions so you’re not likely to get individual attention every lap every session)
3) N2 track day - Advanced Training Program (ATP) - full day of foundational knowledge, skills and drills, one part classroom, one part drills on your bike, one part track time (you’ll ride every session), training includes video review of your laps, ratio of three riders with one coach
4) N2 track day - private coaching with
www.mygpcoach.com - one-on-one coaching from ATP’s lead instructor
@adotjdot , three course options - Tip In! Lean In! Full GP! , detailed video reviews
5) Yamaha Champions Riding School ChampSchool course - two days of foundational knowledge, skills and drills with carefully selected instructors who are also race winners in MotoAmerica and the WERA race series, ratio of three-four riders with one coach
6) Yamaha Champions Riding School - private coaching from a MotoAmerica / WERA champion racer (strongly recommended you already have a ChampSchool course under your belt and demonstrate familiarity with that curriculum so the instructor can maximize your training objectives)
Where you start should be based on a candid self assessment. At various ChampSchool iterations, I’ve heard at least a half dozen riders say “I’ve been on a motorcycle for XX years but now I’m finally learning how to really ride it!” I had been riding for 18 years when I went to ChampSchool and I was a bit surprised at the number of habits that needed immediate attention for track riding.
Anyways, hope you come out to ride with N2. It’s definitely the Emerald Empire of the East. There are certainly other track clubs but, AFAIK, none are as intertwined with a top shelf riding school, MotoAmerica and WERA racing and racers as N2 Track Days.
Let us know how you get along.
