hey speedy,

I live in eastern pa and I'm looking for a school/tracktime as well. I did come across this club (I think its a club) www.teampromotion.com that has some dates scheduled at Pocono - at least they did this last year so I assume that they will again next year. Not sure if its a school or a club or what but I think somehow you get on track.

Let me know if you come across anything!

It is all of the above. Schools, club events, track days, parts, etc.

They have been around for awhile. I just joined last week. There are a few other members of TPM on Sportbike World.

john is dead-on about tpm, they do it all. glenn is really big on supporting the people in his club.

i did both penguin's and teampromotion's schools. they are both worth the money. i liked teampromotion's a little bit better. glenn is a little bit more honest. they have school-only days and school days that work in conjunction with a trackday. you can e-mail tpm at [email protected] barb is really friendly, and they'll give you all the info you need.

marrc has a school at summit point, wv. i've never done it.

plus most of the touring schools (class, ca superbike, hammer) hit pocono (or loudon, or summit point) during the year.

Hey Tony & John - thanks for the clarification on tpm - I'll be emailing them for info this evening.

As a side note, I have to say I'm very intrigued with the whole club concept, I had no idea organized clubs like this existed Would either of you guys care to elaborate on what being a member of this type of club is like? I have no real interest in "racing" per se (although I'd be open to signing a contract if offered ) but I'm dying to give classes/school and track riding a go (no cars, cops, etc.) - how serious a "racer" is your average member?
How well do they take to newcomers and weekend riders (like myself)?

Anyhow - thanks again for the info guys

- Todd

tpm and nesba both go to different tracks, only reduc used to stay at pocono (but they do more tracks now too).

as for ******'s q, tpm has four classes, white (the slowest group), red (step up), blue (think amateur racer), black (expert racer). they don't try to make people ride over their limit.

i like the way glenn does things. i have nothing against nesba, i just really like tpm.

also, if you're near one of teh tracks, you can cornerwork for $70 in motion money, which you can use towards track time. on the 14th i'll be riding for a total of $25, the rest of the day was paid for by cornerworking.

chances are with either club, if you go out with the street group, you'll learn a lot and you'll really get up to speed fast.

once you're in the red group, you an do chatterbox sessions with control riders. they do a lot of cool stuff, check out the page.

Tony & John, thanks for the input guys! Sounds pretty cool - I think I may try and take a ride up to Pocono on the 13th or 14th to check out the event.

John, don't be afraid to post your experiences as a new member to this forum - I (and I'm sure others) would be interested to hear about a first hand account of a day in the life of one of these club events!

Thanks again guys!
