Just wondering if anyone here has been to rg drag racing school? Ive worked with my wife this past summer shes really into it but shes still a little 60ft shy of the bike and was wondering if his school would help her overcome that?

Good question. Looked like the dates on their web site were still for 07. I e-mailed for 08 dates and never heard back. I assume they're done for this year.
I too would be interested to hear from anyone on the site that has tried his school and/or are there any others??

I went last year in august- I really suck at this streetbike racing and saw HUGE improvements at this class. Kinda pricey for a one day class but it was a great time.

I went to the 2 day class in april. I had a great time and the knowledge that i got, to me is priceless. Rickey is hands on and gives you feedback after every pass on things to work on , by the time it was over every one had improved from where we started. Was it worth it ? to me it was i had a great time, made new friends, and gained knowledge.
Two thumbs up.

i would love to do it just for the experience and bragging rights of working with ricky for a day. I also noted he will come to you(at your local track) if you have enough people to do a class( 10-15 people i think)
Anyone interested in coming to Ennis?? Texas motorplex for a day with Gadson?? i have 2 for sure 8 more and we can make the call

pazx14rider,
Went to his school in 2002, had a blast and we had 2 women in the class with us (one on a Busa) I don't think not one person came away from that class not learning something.
He is a great guy and I had a blast, meet some real nice people and got to see Chicago. Was a nice little mini vacation...
Doc.

From what i saw on superbikes looks like he is a real help in teaching everything. I would like to go through it also but i really dont think i need the beginner class as my wife would. ohh and does that price include a hotel room for the nite? i doubt it just askin.

I went to Ricky's school in October 07, I went from 10.0's, 9.9's, and I finished the day with a consistent 9.30's. It was the best money I spent and we had a great time.
