soad Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 http://www.motovid.com/programs-faqs/clinics/Blackhawk Farms out near chicago offers this thing called a rider clinic, the link offers an in depth description of it. I'm thinking of going to it, a friend of mine lives in the area and wants me to go with him.I was just wondering if any of you guys have been to anything like this before, and if its worth it. it costs $250 and it says you run 5 15 minute sessions concentrating on drills and whatever it is you learned in the classroom before the sessions. I've only ever been to one track day at mid ohio(which was amazing) and definitely plan on doing more, but is the extra cost of this worth it, you think?

blue03636 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I know some of the people that help them. Pm EvIL TWiN, not sure if she still helps them or not but she could answer your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not like some pro racer or anything like that, but i feel like the clinic would be a novice track day with more coaches to watch you and less seat time, but for a lot more money, and i'm all about the value. At the mid-o track day i went to, the rider coaches had small classes and sort of "guided" things to work on as the day progressed, and allowed us to pick their brains, and would even watch you specifically for a lap or so if you asked them to. they were very helpful.
