Keep shaded at all times if you can. The sun out here can cook you up quick. Maybe even a nice big hat...like something you would wear to the horse races.

Nope, but during Riders Meeting Erwin usually announces anyone taking the New Riders School to head over to the classroom.

If Matt isn't teaching in the school I recommend talking to Erwin, though they are all great guys and teachers. Erwin taught me a lot and is very patient - he helped me a great deal when I started out. His enthusiasm is ridiculous!
As Max said....UNFORTUNATELY :-(...I JUST found out today that I have a MANDATORY EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION that weekend for work (we are being merged) that I have to attend...so I won't be making it for the weekend after all. As Max said, talk to Erwin. He's the head instructor for the New Riders School. Of course there are others too that you can speak to. If not, maybe Tania will be there--as well as instructing New Riders School. She is also Trackdaz staff and she also rides/races a Ninja 250. She could help you out.

Luckily, but it did happen a couple times at CVR. The most memorable was when it rained like crazy where it was like an inch of rain on the ground in the pits. Then it stopped and the sun came out in full force. It created so much humidity it was unbearable. You couldn't breathe and everyone was sweating like crazy. It did dry up the track rather quickly. This happened in October 2010.
