| Cornerspeed Level 1 Class It was awesome! Everyone was very down to earth and easy to talk to. Our class was divided into 2 groups of ~17 and there were 16 instructors! So almost a one to one teacher student ratio. We were riding on the South course and the day began pretty cold so the track was a little slippery but after lunch it had warmed up and I managed to get my knee down in turn one during the no-brake drill! First time ever  ! An excellent experience for sure!Also, this trip was the first usage of the Baxley Sport chock to tow with and what a difference it made. I was much less of a nervous wreck since the bike wasn't bouncing around on the back of my trailer. It looked much safer with its suspension working to absorb the bumps. Definitely a well-designed bit of gear. Also, my Avon AV45/46 ST combo has 10000 street miles and four trackdays on them and they look pretty good still, probably about 80% worn. They warm up quickly on cold days and don't seem to be troubled by water either. I haven't needed more grip than they provide yet. Here's a couple of pics of the towing rig: | |

The tiedowns are right where Baxley's manual recomended them to be. The manual said they just have to pull the bike into the chock as well as downward and sideward. It never moved for 360 miles, round trip. | ||

| Re: Cornerspeed Level 1 Class That's roughly where I put my 2 tiedown straps (yes, just 2) with a regular wheel chock. Rock solid. |
