New venues and more dates to tempt riders

Jason DiSalvo's Speed Academy has announced its 2012 schedule.  The program will be heading to new venues this season, with events as far south as Florida and as far north as Michigan.  With this expanded territory, Speed Academy is looking forward to helping more riders improve their skills.

As in 2011, riders will be able to choose between events run in conjunction with Sportbike Track Time or "Stand-Alone" events where Speed Academy has the track to itself.  The STT partnership offers an opportunity for trackday riders and racers alike to experience Speed Academy instruction at a reduced price while riding some of the nation's top circuits.  Speed Academy's "Stand-Alone" dates offer the most intense levels of training offered by the school.

"I'm very happy about our expansion for 2012," said DiSalvo. "We're really excited to continue our relationship with Sportbike Track Time, which gives us the opportunity to offer this great experience to more riders."

"Jason and I have really enjoyed helping so many riders this past year improve their skills." adds co-owner Brian Stokes. "It's a great feeling to see our students making progress and learning."

February 18-19  Jennings, FL (Stand-Alone format)
