It is similar to Supercamp and its lots of fun and a very good experience.

I'd highly recommend either. You'll learn or relearn how to back it in, throttle control, body positioning and how to be smooth. If you sign up with your buddies, you'll have the opportunity to go bar to bar with them on the track. If you're not in great physical shape, make sure you bring some NSAIDs like Aleve cause you'll be sore after the first day.

I took Danny's Race Supercamp in January, very fun and informative. Danny and his crew are top notch and a blast. Chris Carr is also incredible as a teacher, I don't care who you are....you'll learn a lot!

Normally I'd be all over it but I just booked my trip to Utah for WSBK + spent a crapload of dough on other stuff. I'm laying low on the finances for awhile

Unless of course you want to place an order for 2000 womens tees, have good credit and are paying up front

I took the course about 4 years ago. Future Red Bull Rookies Champ JD Beach was one of the guest instructors, at the age of 12-13 years old. Some my best high sides ever, were in the class, on the XR 100.

Thanks for the info Duke... doing research on them. City of industry is only 25 mins away from me, but just a couple weeks away, but I like Rich Olivers website he explains what he does and it says he has a couple different tracks. Shit I gotta check my calendar and finances... this could be rocking!!
