They will all have a novice class but the instruction may be slightly different from track to track. Either one you do will be good. ---

A closed circuit course (racetrack) is the only place you... novice = instruction and track time. cost 150-250 ish… per day… plus 30 dollar membership fee, plus all your gear, and water wetter and misc bike setup stuff… it can be done for cheaper, but for your first day STT is hard to beat. ---

I think it depends on the place. But usually around $200-250. That’s just for the track day itself. You also need to have full leathers, boots, gloves, and have your bike go through tech. (in novice nothing needs to change, just street ready) There on rotating sessions throughout the day, so you have 7 or 8 sessions of 15 minutes on the track. (which is plenty) And for the novice guys they have a class session in b/w track sessions to show techniques and give a thorough lesson on different aspects of riding each session. It’s very useful information ranging from throttle control to where your body should be and when. And that’s pretty much it. Each session gets faster and faster but within novice are sub-groups with an instructor for each sub-group who operate on different speeds. So if you need to slow down, step back into the lower group, or vice versa. It’s a good system and I think every biker should have to do it. EDIT - my explanation is WAAAAAY better than Will’s. 🙂 ---

at a track day? just ride, its not a race, which is what tends to happen when friends get with each other… Nobody is there to win, so I tend to do my own thing, If you have lap timers itd be fun to compare times, but in my experience we show up together and do our own thing. Ive seen a couple of the advanced guys battle pretty hard though.
