I never did trackdays or race schools. Straight into racing me.

However, I was crap to start with, but didn't take long to pull my finger out.

You can't do better than talking to other racers at a race meetings. You're not doing much wrong if you're lapping in 58's in your first race.

I'm sure myself, Skids, Geoff & Ian Leah would be more than happy to spend some time with you discussing lines and brake markers etc.

Trackdays & Race Schools are probably ok, but they don't teach you how to 'RACE'.

Practice makes perfect

Thanks Domski I did speak to Geoff and Andy and they did give me some ideas to work on. Posture is an issue as evident from photos - I look stiff and I don't understand why really as I don't feel stiff on the bike - get no arm pump or stiff wrists ?? - Also I don't get off the monster - I used to on the cbr6 but don't find I need to on this bike.
