I'm not saying to go out and race after doing the penguin school. All I said is that is qualifies you to race. And you get to do the rookie race for free, which is with a bunch of newbies as well.

As an introduction to track riding everything is going to be simliar to ART basic. But by doing the penguin program you end up saving yourself like 2-300 bucks in the long run if your intention is to possibly compete. An d if you crash, you fail, just like many of the other org's as well.

Loudon (LRRS -northeast CCS) is at least smart enough to separate the Experts/Amateurs from the Novices.
