    Uhhh, when did Schwantz move to Barber?

    I guess I missed the premier Road Atlanta experience. Did the track end up just being too expensive for the school, or Barber just a better setup?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Worth zero sheep extrapolation:
    Barber is better known as a go to track across the country
    Barber has nicer facilities
    Barber has more variation of terrain allowing more teachable locations
    KS did not approve of the 'enhancements' to the Road Atlanta as much as the owner did
    The museum
    A better mexican restaurant in Leeds
    Mullets

    Thanks guys! I don't feel so bad now since it was only this year - his prices were a lot higher at this track, seems like. Must be why I never got around to going...

    Oh, and google is funny sometimes. In the gmail ad stream above the notification for this thread update was a link to go to a hair cutting school. lmao.

    Anyone do the school at Barber yet?

    I am thinking I need another class next year. Maybe with enough people trying to thump it in my brain will accept some riding knowledge

    I'll be teaching at Grattan 2010 again after the success of the 2009 round. Modest prices, invaluable knowledge shared, friendly environment, free test rides... what else can you ask for?

    Let me know when you are going. Myself and a friend or two will be doing it hopefully twice next year.

    I'd like to take Kevin's school at Barber as well. We'll see what next season brings...

    I might...but later in the year. Things are starting to pick up for me but not sure if I can squeeze that in so early. I am doing Penguin in April though.

    I'm keeping an eye on the dates but I'm simultaneously taking 3 MBA classes and an officer training class.

    Even if I can't make it to ride, I can support.
