I am looking to do Fontana during the weekend. Who would I have to hook up with to get in a beginners track day. If someone hooks me up I will somehow try to return the favor. I am a MSF instructor too. Just thought I would throw that in there. Thanks

marine, i'm not sure of your skill level as far as going beginners or not, but in beginner, you have lots of guys on liter bikes hauling down the straights and then standing the bike up for the turns...in intermediate you have lots of ego tripping guys who pretty much do the same thing but are a bit more reckless since the 'safe' passing of beginner groups don't apply here.

Thanks. I am a humble person. I believe that there is ALWAYS someone better than me. I just want to get out there a couple of times to say I have done it. Looks cool too. Cant hurt, only make you a better rider, right?

you a super duper thugged out MSF instructor so it's all good...you may also want to check out other tracks too, like Willow Springs and Buttonwillow...i think they have one more before the end of the season...but fontucky is local...so that's nice...but the others...if you go weekday, not so crowded!
but neither are as fast as the AMA fontucky course...but willow does have a super duper high speed sweeper, we're talking like 120 dragging knee mang! that will put your HESD to work!
no on SOW...too short for you 1KRR and i think is boring, low speed, technical but BW is more technical...
humble eh? that's good then...i'm in OC, if i can ever get out for a ride, i'll PM you...i don't like ego tripn riders! have fun!!!
i'd join you but wifey just had a baby so i'm out for a bit...
check this...
