Free intro brought me to Nesba, early morning give-aways and more pocono dates then brought me to TPM. though no club will ever offer anything like the Blanford feasts Nesba used to have.

Whatever you do, don't try an inside pass on the head TPM coach going into t1 at FUSA!

But you can get away with an end of the day inside pass at 140 on the "kink" of VIR North of a coach if he is going too slow and you don't know he is a coach. LOL

even a wet sum looks good after a few sessions, but im talking fresh salads, fresh pork, chicken cutlets.....better than a cheap wedding.

This doesn't need to be a comparison, but I figured if someone has experience with multiple clubs, they would be able to give pros and cons of the clubs they have ridden with. All thoughts and experiences are welcome. The only drawback to one sided experience would be like you saying that your bike is the best in the world because you own it. You know what I mean?
As for my experiences with Nesba, it is not that I had bad experiences with them, I had many great trackdays with Nesba, Just as Cakes said , they seem concieted or as I like to say "clicky". If you aren't in the right "click" , you're on your own. I always thought that Nesba was always a very safe trackday club.

Gotcha
BTW...my bike IS the best in the world
Hope to see you riding with TPM this year! If you do, make sure you post up what tracks you'll be heading to and you can me up with us. We'll be the two short people (Jen and Joe aka Cakes) with the kick ass SBA banner

I will be sure to post if and when I decide to go TPM. Still waiting for the shoulder to get much better. Looks like possibly late April- early May. Keeping my fingers crossed!
By the way, where does one get SBA stickers?? I got 2 trucks, 1 enclosed trailer and a few bikes that could use a couple of stickers!!

I only have experience with TPM.
The good:
-Instructors are wonderful. A couple them even have SVs, specifically John S., who has spent a lot of time with me on and off the track. Also Martin was awesome in that he was willing to go out there on super corsas on a day it was pouring and get me bumped to red group after none of the other instructors would risk it (I had pilot powers and good wet traction I thought). Kevin Sullivan is always there to lend an ear, Julie rocks, Smokin' Joe is cool, Omar is always in the pits willing to give advice etc. etc. u get the point. The instructors make the club.
-Black flags. I've made a questionable pass b4 and was talked to (though not flagged) as well as I had a guy pass me inside 2 times in one lap (I passed him back each time and he did it again) and the track Marshall took my concerns, observed the guy do it to a friend and black flagged him. I believe the guy left PIER after that.
-Great atmosphere, but I think it's watch make of it. I'm very social and I wander the pits getting advice and saying hello. I bet if u did the same at NESBA or SETT I'd be warmly welcomed as well.
The bad:
-I don't think the administrators have a lot of experience, perhaps they are still having growing pains in how they deal with situations as they arrise, such as Rained out track session (PIR last year) and the credit card/pay in cash issue earilier this winter. I'm sure they mean right, but they'd serve themself better if they thought things through a bit more b4 addressing the public and were better prepared. Otherwise there is always someone friendly to answer the main phone #.
-The parts club, even with discounts often times is no better than internet pricing, so I don't really get any use out of it.
On the whole I'm happy. I did 6.5 days with them last year and have signed for 8 more this year (prob. more). I'd like to be a coach some day and "give back."

The majority of experience I have has been with TPM but I have also done some track days with Cornerspeed. The times I have been to Cornerspeed events have been great and they do have a strong focus on safety and I found their coaches to be to be focused on their jobs. As far as TPM goes I have been riding with them for 4 seasons and do not have 1 complaint about the organization. Others have mentioned this as well and it is really more like a family reunion at every event than anything else. By this I mean that you will always see familiar faces and have made many friends at their track events. As far as the management and coaches go, they treat everyone with respect and as others have said really focus on rider safety. The coaches are all very approachable and willing to help any rider even when the riders do not realize they are watchin not to mention just good people as well.
The trackside services are great and they offer days at some incredible tracks not just in the good old US of A but in Canada as well. I can tell you that I will be riding with them for the years to come and will also reccomend them to anyone that is looking for not just a good club to ride with but as a very educational club as well.
Just under 4 weeks to VIR. Looking forward to seeing my "track family" there.
Mike
