Multi-day track/racing schools?


Hi ya'll,Our season is wrapping up here in the Pacific Northwest and while I intend to get 10-15 days in down in California during the off-season, I am looking for something more directive to improve my riding. Some quick information below to help with the advice:Me: Started riding in May of this year, got on the track for the first time late that month. Done ~14 days since then, with the last 8 being in A group.Type of instruction I'm looking for: I learn absolute best in a 1:1 environment with an instructor from what I have found so far. The best instruction I have received was from the organization Track Time (shoutout!) at The Ridge, when they paired me with an old school racer who made it very simple for me: "I'm going to follow you, and when you go to slow into a corner or come out too light on the throttle, I am going to pass you. Then you're going to follow me for a lap or two until I let you in front of me again." That guy, in one day, took over 15 seconds off my laptime and moved me into A group times. I would love, love, love to repeat that experience but our season is over up here now!Caveats: I am looking for a multi-day school, as this is definitely going to require traveling. If it's outside of the West Coast I'll probably need to use their bike, as I don't want to drive super far. While I've found 1:1 coaching to work super well for me, I've not had any experience with high-touch programs like YCRS (which I intend to check out next year when they come back to WA). I have minimal interest in CSBK due to their format (have been told by a bunch of people that Day 1 will be worthless for me) and due to the instruction/student ratio (have heard their advertised 3:1 is really more like 6:1).What do you guys think is right for me? Any specific schools I should look into? Should I maybe just look for a non-premier level coach (aka not Jason Pridmore) to work with me for 3-4 days straight somewhere down in Cali?Really appreciate any and all advice. Love this sport and just looking to get better at it. :) via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/9er9qp/multiday_trackracing_schools/?utm_source=ifttt
