Go to a track that offers bike racing, and try your luck there.

First of all, good for you for wanting to get to the track versus demonstrating your skills on the street.

You may be fast, but believe me... the guys at the track are going to smoke you. It's all relative, my friend. I say this so you can be realistic, not to discourage you. You should go for it if it's something you are passionate about.

AFM is the best organization with which to begin a motorcycle racing career. From there you move on to AMA. Start with a track day - maybe one put on by your local motorcycle shop. Get the feel of riding on a track.

BTW, Bondarant and Skip Barber are car schools. I've been to both. They will not help your abilities on a bike. Try Superbike School, by Keith Code. He teaches the basics of riding a bike fast on the track and even offers a beginner "racer" school.

Be safe

i ride with NESBA you can look for a team around you they will give you a few classes and the you can get a GP license and run a few armature races if you are good you will get a sponsor and with out a sponsor it is very expensive because it is like 150 a day for track time (with a team) then you need tires and not any old tire will do basically you need two sets qualifying tires they are very very sticky you only get about 3 laps out of them and then you need the race tires which I get 3 track days out of w/o racing 1 day with racing so you are looking at 800 in tires for race day then gas which is like 20 a tank so without a sponsor it runs about a grand to go race one day also you have to remember that learning means sliding because you need to know how far you can go a slide ain't bad but but if the bike flops then it ain't cheap and then the guys that you ride with may not be that good send a pic of your rear tire and i'll send you a pic of mine tiggeris23@yahoo.com

your good for the guys you ride with mabey but if you have ever been to a superbike race and seen the speed at which they race at and the skill required you might think differently, not saying you suck or anything go race and hey if you do well thats great on you google you are for a track find out the requirements get the gear and prep the bike. good luck

Do a web search for "motorcycle race school". I have a friend just like you. He's the fastest street rider within 100 miles. He went to Lauden Raceway in New Hampshire a few weekends to try out their racing school. Out of 30 riders, he would just make it into the top ten. He learned a lot and was able to ride faster by following their lines. He asked the fastest riders how they road so fast. It comes down to one thing, "no fear".

You can contact Skip Barber Racing School.
Also Bob Bondaurant School.

You will need a GP license I'm sure before they let you roll out onto the track, unless you race in some amiture classes first.
Remember cocky will get you killed on a track.
Also you will need the Vanson racing grear.

If you're as good as you reckon, then you should go and get your FIM ticket, and start racing. Look on the net, for all your answers. Just as a side note, though. Just because you can beat everyone you ride with, doesn't make you a contender. When you get on the track, against a load of guy's who can ride like f%@k, and beat them,.... then get on here, and blow sunshine up your own a.ss .
