MARS Brings Lee Parks ARC to Vegas April 20th

MARS(Motorcycle Awareness and Rider Safety www.cycleawareness.org ) Has been working very hard to get Lee Parks out to Vegas to do an Advanced Riders Clinic. If you don't know anything about Lee Parks ARC goto www.totalcontroltraining.net/index.html . This is the first time EVER that Lee is bringing his class to Las Vegas. If we get a strong turnout...he will come back.

I have personnally attending the Fasttrack Riders School, Pridmore Star school and Lee's ARC. All 3 were great, but I got more out of Lee's class than any other. Now, this is not a track day school. It is all done at parking lot speeds. You get instant feedback everytime you go through the range. Click on the link to get more info.

Why am I pushing this class so hard. For one, anything that makes you a better rider, makes you a safer more likely to live rider. That is what MARS is all about. Secondly, Lee is helping MARS raise money, by donating his time and some cool prises for a great cause.

I have to also thank Steve from Las Vegas Dyno Tech. He is donating his facility for the class and the MARS event the following evening. He is a small shop owner who is giving big
to help us and the cause out. A big thumbs up Steve www.lasvegasdynotech.com I will post up more info about the Monday night event in a day or so.

Here is all the class info:

Sounds like a good deal. too bad we missed it..

We had a pretty good turnout. Lee Parks wound up doing 3 different demos, one was almost an hour long. We had just about every different kind of bike on the dyno as well, from a 175hp Busa to a 28 ninja 250 (the tech wore a helmet while testing that beast).

We raised just about $500.00 for the night for MARS. Not bad for our first real event. The best thing is we got some good info into the heads of a lot of squids here in Vegas. One bay step at a time!

I have some video and some more stills to post up, but that won't be until later.
