Dude this really makes no sense for what the MSF is supposed to teach you which is how to ride a motorcycle. You don't go to a track to learn how to ride, you go to learn how to ride fast. Put a new rider at a trackday out here and he is gonna crash.

MSF also teaches you how to survive on the street. It's a good course, but people need further training. ERC what Derf suggested is the next step.

They just shook their heads and waved me by. They barely ever had to correct me, and of course they had to pick me to do the test first. It was a good experience, and a good excuse to get 3 days off work..
How old are you? If you wanna club race, start young. This way when you crash (and you will) you will heal faster.
