I won the Alonzo race school, and attended it today. I must deffinately say it was way better than I expected. To be honest I went in expecting to hear the same little spill about the basics, but it wasn't like that at all.

He did touch the basics slightly which is good but he didn't spend the whole day on the basics like most schools do. I had plenty of 1 on 1 instruction, which deffinately helped me overcome the wall I've been stuck at. They followed me around, took time to show me the line I needed to be on at my pace, and pretty much helped me with every turn.

I also learned a few key points I really have to work on, like finding brake markers and use my legs more so my arms don't get so tired. All in all the info was great, instructors were great, they listens to our questions, did an excellent job at answering questions, and solved alot of my riding issues in one trackday.

I will deffinately purchase the school again at other tracks, as I am confident they will help me to drop valuable seconds.

I'd especially like to thank Brandon on the R6, he basically spent the whole day helping me and pushing me to achieve my goals, thanks bro! And I would like to thank Alonzo as well for trying to drill brake markers in my head, I'll work on it!

So if you want to go faster, or even race, take the class it's deffinately worth it. I will be taking it when you guys go to msrh and tws for sure. Thanks alot!

Thank you sir, appriciate the help and pointers... I know for sure if I can get some brake markers ingrained in my head I'll probly drop 5seconds. I'll continue to work on it, it's not easy... Good luck to you at TWS, always a blast watching you race.

Thanks man, I'm sure I could use the same coaching at tws. Hopefully I'll have my rear shock on and fresh fluid in the forks, so I'll be trying to get used to that Friday practice. I'm pumped for the race and ready to go... Thanks for all the help.

It really helped that you were riding with me pretty much the whole time and beating the lines, and footing, and body positioning, and everything else into my head. Thanks again!

I've heard/read pretty good reviews about the school, I think I'll take it on the next TD.

I'll honestly tell you it's worth it. It was for me, I was kinda at a wall, not
Getting any faster and not knowing what to do to get faster. They will follow you, see what your doing, give you things to work on and then request feedback from you about what you tried the last session. Then you can tell them how it felt or whatever and they're good at explaining things.

I will take the class again when they go to other tracks. I could use the help at msrh and tws.
