That PTT at infineon Feb 28 looks pretty good....
Other option I'm considering is the Pridmore Star school March 21 & 22. It cost a bit more but you get more riding time because it's 30 min sessions. That & the weather should be better.
Hmmm... Decisions, decisions.

That is also the same weekend as AFM round 1. If you want to attend a great school with one of the best teachers around I'd recommend doing the Ken Hill race school at Buttonwillow at the beginning of March. I believe last year it was thirty to forty five minute sessions with Ken teaching classes in between.

I think the Pridmore date is a Monday & Tuesday actually.
Am I missing something or is the Ken Hill really expensive. $700 + cost of your trackday. Ouch....

I don't know if 700 is accurate or not, but Greg and Lisa felt KH is worth every penny. They always speak very highly of him.

from the KF website
"PayPal payments are also accepted as long as you are willing to cover a $20 surcharge for PayPal fees.
The coaching fee includes my trackday fee, but not yours. (Add $100 for PTT days) . . .
The coaching fees scale:
First time lesson: $700
Next Lessons are all $650 unless you want a half-day which costs $400"

Both oneup and putz have recommneded Ken Hill's school. Guess they all went last March. I'll look into the prices and see if it is possible to get in. :-D It does look like he is pretty busy. He that good? - khcoaching.com/?p=498Guess he coaches at the YCRS and a few Kiegwins days, which is the date he went to in March. Not sure how he sets up the dates/schedule or his pricing. |

According to Oneup, KH reaches out to you directly via telephone call prior to the event to discuss the day and map out all the logistics.

Ken Hill one on one days are $700. Lisa, Alan, me and everyone who does a day with him believe they are worth every penny. What he is doing in March is a racer school with Keigwins. You sign up like a regular track day and Ken does in class teaching with everyone along with him and Keigwins instructors helping out on track. The cost is $250 for the day. The day before is a Saturday which is a regular Keigwin trackday for $170. Luke did this with Lisa and I last year and found it to be very helpful. If you do one school this year this would be my recommendation.

Ken Hill not only has great information, he has a great way of getting it you and helping you understand what he is trying to get across to you. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a new perspective on how to view the track and the corners and how to approach and execute them.
