Haven't done anything other than Ridesmart. But what I like most is the people. Everyone is there to learn, practice, and get better/faster. Even if it's not an instructor, there is always someone that is willing to help you with a problem, and give good advice to help you learn and get better.

2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday.
The way they handle red flags. It goes back to the morning briefing and instructors on the track handling the situation. They need to make sure people know not to slow down but to keep pace (if not near the red/yellow, aka the incident) and get off the track. The medics can't get on the track till everone is off, and if your still going slow due to a red flag, that's valubale seconds in response time passing away. They seam to always forget to say this in the rider briefing, and the instructors on track need to push people to get off the track quickly, when they come across someone still going slow.

3) Who did the three blind mice chase?
Nobody. They were just following the smell.

I like the fact that Dave always tries his best to run a safe, tight show. I also appreciate the fact that RS feeds the riders lunch.

2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday.
Will has already mentioned that the red flags could be handled better. Another aspect that I'm not that big of a fan of is the large number of riders that RS puts on the track at each session. Some of the other organizations that I have done track days with put fewer riders on the track, which is nice and often feels safer. Lastly, I'd REALLY like to see a couple of additional corner workers for each event. The way it is set up right now relies on each CW to observe multiple (and in some cases a lot of) turns, which can make it much more difficult to spot illegal passes, dangerous behavior, etc.

3) Who did the three blind mice chase?
The bottle of Mountain Dew.

[Grinner]

1...Dave doing what he can to provide us with the safest possible way to improve our riding faults.
2...toooo fast paced without a chance to retain what was discussed in class before going out on track.
3....me because I stole their cheese and wanted to watch the little bastiges run into things while tryin to get it back!

1) What do you like best about a RS trackday. If you've been to other trackday schools, what is one thing RS does better then the other school? Everything
2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday. Nothing
3) Who did the three blind mice chase? Miles. But I think they were gerbils, not mice.

[Telomere]

1) What do you like best about a RS trackday. If you've been to other trackday schools, what is one thing RS does better then the other school? I like the instruction they provide with the instructors on the track and I have only done a RS trackday.
2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday. I don't like feeling rushed between classroom and getting prepped to get back out on the track.
3) Who did the three blind mice chase? They didn't chase shit because DUH, they are blind!

1) What do you like best about a RS trackday. If you've been to other trackday schools, what is one thing RS does better then the other school? The classroom instruction plus the on track observation/critique is a great way to teach and learn.

2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday. Not enough corner workers, they need every station manned for safety. Last weekend, pit out turn station was unmanned, in one session we saw 3 riders go off track. A very dangerous situation for the rider who ran off and the other riders coming up to that corner blind to what had just happened, because there was no flag for warning.

3) Who did the three blind mice chase? Each other, they're always playing Marco Polo!

Yeah, I completely agree. In theory, pit out - turn 2, in essence - is supposed to be covered by the CW at turn 3 (and the CW at turn 7 can also view that turn), but at that corner station you're surrounded by turns that you're supposed to watch over (turns 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), and it is VERY easy to miss something in the heat of the battle.

1) What do you like best about a RS trackday. If you've been to other trackday schools, what is one thing RS does better then the other school? the thing that I like about ridesmart is that they are very newbie friendly to get people into the Ridesmart family. What ridesmart does better is really preach safety over and over

2) What is one thing you do not like a RS trackday. I think sometimes there are way too many riders out there sometimes.

3) Who did the three blind mice chase? the three little pigs???
