NESBA vs. Team Pro-Motion

**USMC_10** · 10-07-2011, 10:38 PM

So I'm debating whether to join NESBA or Team Pro-Motion (TPM). I like both organizations but it seems TPM offers a little more in terms of rider training; for example TPM has various levels of advanced rider training.

Question for all you smart folks out there. NESBA advertises they cover any/all gate fees that tracks may charge during track days....does anyone know if TPM covers similar charges? Can't seem to find it anywhere on their website which I'm deducing that TPM "does not" cover gate fees. Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks!

I rode Pocono, Summit Point Shenandoah and Jefferson and NJMP Thunderbolt tracks with TPM this year and didn't pay any additional track fees. Did Beaverun with NESBA as TPM cancelled their date. Thought the rider/coach interaction with NESBA was better but maybe that was because it was a skills enhancement day. Heading to Thunderbolt again with TPM 10/15-16.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I've heard positive reviews from both organizations...I think it may come down to trying both out just to see which fits me better.

NESBA does NOT charge a gate fee. as for getting some serious instruction...yes, NESBA works with you in all levels of riding but it's relative to how many riders are on the track. We want to give everyone equal time for instruction. When it comes to Advanced, you just have to ask for the help as the control riders are out there to have their fun but they will definitely give you all the feedback you want. enjoy!

there is also sportbiketracktime that offers good begginner coaching sessions... Keith Code's superbike school is a great school to for learning and improving your track experience...
