Ron Haslam Race School / 30mins tracktime?

[Jon]

I spoke to someone from the Ron Haslam Race School today and they said its £150 to ride a Honda CB600 Hornet. Starts at 9am till bout 12. Only problem is you get two 15 minute sessions on the track

Is it really worth doing for that sort of money?

It would take a dew laps to get used to the bike and track, by then your time would be up.

It depends how much money you have.
Though most of the things I've heard about tehm say they *are* worth the money. I believe it's cheaper if you use your own bike.

Personally I might consider going to a race school, but only after I've got some decent track time, so I've at least got some idea off where I need to improve.

[Jon]

I'm only on my CBT at the mo so its the only place I can go and get track time. The reason I'm thinking of doing it is cause me parents asked what I wanted for my 21st birthday.

(Though, getting into minimotos sounds like a laugh cheaper(ish), good step to start at, etc.)


Finding out its only 30mins of track time just sounds a bit shit, considering its going to take about 4hours to get there.

[G]

It isn't about riding fast on a track... it's about *laerning* to ride fast... if it was riding all day you probably wouldn't learn nearly enough.

Personally I'd say ask tehm fro money to do your test

ive done the ron haslam school you do get 2 15 min sestions at the end but you spend most of the day learning how to corner faster and he proper line to take and when i did it we used cbr 600`s not cb 600 hornets

they do run 3 levels, but its a ladder system, youve got to bo the beginner stage before you can try advanced etc etc

i know there school is running 13 brand new cbr600rr's this year.

also the price isnt to bad when your being taught by ex-profesionals etc

one other thing its not a track day. if you just want to go round a track do a track day but if you want to learn what your ment to be doing go to a race school

A Mate at work did it for his B'day, I went to watch. He loved it! Went round on a CBR6. He can't wait to do the next stage
