Skip Barber Closes Superbike Racing School at Laguna Seca

Skip Barber Racing School has discontinued its motorcycle racing school. Launched in 2008, the program held exclusively at its Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca location will no longer be available for 2011, according to the school.

The school, offered in a two-day format, educated riders with racing instruction from top-level riders at the 2.23 mile road course. In its last year the school provided students with European Superbikes to learn proper racing techniques such as trail-braking, threshold braking, throttle application and the correct racing line.

“The program was a great success in 2010,” said Kyle Morham, senior manager sales and marketing, “however, we determined Skip Barber Racing School must remain focused. Despite customer demand and consistently positive feedback, the continuation of a motorcycle program is not in line with our company’s strategy for the future. We are focused on racing and car control education on four wheels.”

The company says customers registered for 2011 dates will receive a refund or can apply credit towards other Skip Barber Racing School programs.
