"On-Track" Instruction
days are scheduled primarily at Roebling Road, near Savannah,
GA.
See our calendar page for dates at
other tracks, such as Jennings GP, Carolina Motorsports Park
and Moroso Motorsports Park (protocols may vary at these tracks).
|
The FRANK KINSEY RACING SCHOOL offers
instruction for licensed racers, beginning through advanced,
and performance street riders. The main focus of the day is the
"NO BRAKES" drill. Frank works with a limited
class size of 10 participants so that he may provide individualized
instruction to each rider. Each student experiences one-on-one
"on-track" instruction as well as feedback throughout
the day.
[In addition
to "instructional" group, there is a reduced-fee "non-instructional"
group which is available only to approved repeat customers
& experienced racers].
Many students are able to ride 200 miles or more and make dramatic
improvements in their riding.
