So I was planning on doing this last season but I ended up spending my money getting another bike. So I am planning on doing this this season and I am posting some info for anyone who are also interested. :excited šŸ˜ƒ Penguin Racing School in NH offer a 1 day ā€œBasic Road Racing Courseā€, when completed, will grant you the eligibility to immediately registered for a racing license for a rookie race in the LRRS literally the next day. The basic course is $280, which include classroom instructions discussing bike preparation, riding techniques, flags, rules and track survival; and practice sessions. The school also offers bike and equipment rentals for the school and for racing; if you donā€™t have the means to trailer your bike for the course/race or you do not have leather. Just wanted to stress the ā€œBasic Road Racing Courseā€ is NOT a performance riding course like what those superbike school offers, they will likely provide some riding instructions like what they will offer at the normal track day at the novice level. Hopefully I donā€™t sound like a salesman for them, so if you want more info here are some of the links. Anyway, enjoy the season! :thumbup School: [http://www.penguinracing.com](http://www.penguinracing.com) LRRS: [http://www.lrrsracing.com/](http://www.lrrsracing.com/) ---

do it. Personally seems like itā€™d be cheaper than auto racing for the most part. I donā€™t have enough riding experience to do this, but Iā€™d feel far safer racing on the track than riding on the street. ---

If you donā€™t crash or blown engine/transmission, tires and travel will probably be the main cost. That is if you run in ā€œproductionā€ type classes where modifications are very limited anyway. Building a class winning bike I am sure with be much differentā€¦:lol I probably have less riding experience than youā€¦šŸ¤£rofl Thatā€™s why you start in Novice class. ---

I got a Gsxr stocker for the back I have to bolt up. Fairings will be my major next issue, Iā€™m trying to see what bikeā€™s upper I can take to bolt up to the SV so I donā€™t have to make a custom mold and then go through the sanding. 1098/675 are top contenders at the moment. But thatā€™s besides the point. Once the bikes are fixed Iā€™d like to do ~2 more days this year and get that going right as far as transport/tools/gear/bike setup/skills/track time etc before even considering actual racing. ---
