I went from MSF straight to racing - I put about 200 miles on my 'street' bike - all neighborhood stuff to get the basics down. And then my street bike became a race only bike.
It can be done.

Heck, you can skip street riding and MSF. It's possible to learn on your own and go straight to track schools/racing. Most racing leagues require a school, so it's hard to get into most series without the school license.

If I get a job in ohio by next march, I hope to be racing by summer. If i get a job in LA... im not so sure. I probably wont have the money. Mid-Ohio has a 2-day race school for beginner/intermediate/experts that runs all year long. A 2 day school with 9 hours of track time instruction is $365

As far as the msf is concerned, I'm a big fan of education. I'm a bigger fan of practicing that education in a controlled environment.

When I lived in Newark in the eastern half of the state there were already some monster backroads.
