Rickey Gadson Drag school maybe in florida
All you guys from florida (Smokin) who said you would be interested in a class in florida I have talked to Monica (Rickeys "assistant") about it and it looks like it may happen the more interest is shown the more likely it is to happen. so if you want to show interest call them at(856)784-3278 again I would please ask you to mention to them that I referred you, they have done a lot for me and I want them to know I am trying my best to return the favor... just tell them Matt from Arkansas told you about it. THe florida class is definately not FOR SURE but I was told they would definately check into it and of course it would be BRING YOUR OWN BIKE also Rickeys shop carries a LOT of stuff IN STOCK for the 14 including sprockets and stuff so if you need any parts give them a shot at earning your bussiness
And yes the Louisianna class is still a go Looking at red river raceway in Gillam Louisianna mid to late october inquire with them about that as well if interested

Steve I think you will be surprised how much faster you will get in that one day I predict your last run of the day would be AT LEAST half a second quicker then your first run... Smokin on the other hand maybe 1 tenth if any

I went to Rickey's school in Atco in August- it was too cool. I've been bracket racing a bar and slick bike for years and have never even ridden a streetbike with an extended arm. JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO! I was all worried about how to do this but had NO preconceived notions, just listened to the advice and instructions from the man, my first pass was 10 something, by the end of the day I was able to make multiple 9.4's, the bike was lowered and 8" over with no PC, flies in, muzzy sidewinder, air filter out, OE tire, the bike I was on had only ONE mile on it at the start of the day. My ET improved over a full second. Granted I was a total noob to streetbike racing so I started out really poor. Best day I ever spent at the track.

The only reason smokin' would show up at a drag race school is to shake everyone's hand!
I've never had a real big interest in drag racing. I went to the strip a few times just to see how hard it is, and i saw! But I'll take Rickey's class for the pure fun of it though

595 dollars is the cost... The biggest factor in the cost is how much the track charges to rent the track for a full day, for instance we were going to do the class in Memohis but the track in Memphis wanted OVER 5000 dollars for the day

Count me out BM. I was going only going to attend to be sociable, but man I can't do it for the cost of a round trip ticket to europe
I'd love to go but can't justify it. Team Hammer crotch rocket race school we get the DAYTONA track all day, class is a fraction of that. Penguin race school at Homestead, same deal.

No problem steve I wouldnt expect someone to pay that kind of money for something they are not really interested in LOL that would be like me paying 600 bucks to go to the ballet I am sure it is worth it to some people but not me LOL for those who drag race they know that the price is cheap if you consider what you get for expample gs1327 picked up almost a full second off his et I cant think of ANOTHER MOD period that will shave off a full second let alone one that will di it as cheap as 600 bucks
