I did the 3 day camp at Laguna Seca and it was a blast. On the contrary to what some may say, I think going to track days at mission and pitt meadows first would not be a good way to get started. CSS is first and foremost a school that teaches you the fundamentals of track riding which will make you an immensely better rider in all aspects. It's not a racing school (at least levels 1-4 aren't). Instead of testing the waters by yourself first without any real instruction, CSS has a very detailed and specific curriculum that will weed out and break any bad habits right from the get go. I didn't have any previous track experience before CSS but by simply following their drills I ended up going faster than I ever thought I could by the end of the third day.

My biggest gripe was the price, since the 3 day camp was actually around $3600USD + flight, hotel, car rental, etc. But I justified it because it was Laguna Seca and I figured it'd be a once in a lifetime experience. Getting my knee down on the 2nd day at the corkscrew was one of my proudest moments LOL
