Hi there,
If you mean race schools with track instruction then I'd recommend the California Superbike School with Andy Ibbot. Especially if you're doing a lot of trackdays. I've done levels 1 & 2 and am doing level 3 soon, basically it teaches the Keith Code theory over 3 levels (full day for each level) & then refines your riding on level 4 working on your weak areas - our instructors have all been racers or ex racers & very good at what they do - ratio about 3 students : 1 inststructor. They also run an aditional specialist school for 'wannabe' racers, but I don't know much about that - check their website. They operate mainly from Rockingham. Oh and they do a supermoto school too. They have a hire facility where you can loan an R6 but it's quite pricey.
There is also the Donington Ron Haslam School which is a shorter single session (2 levels) 1 on CBR600's and 2 on Fireblades - very good for people who havn't been on any trackdays who just want to get some confidence. I've done this twice & it's good but not anywhere near as thorough or detailed as the California Superbike School. Depends what you're after??
There is also the European Superbike School with Franki Chilli and a couple of others but I can't tell you much cos I've not done them.
It really depends what you're wanting to get from a school??

It sounds like the California school may be able to help with his race craft. Thanks again its good to hear from people who have experienced the schools.
