From a press release issued by No Limits Motorsports:

No Limit Motorsports’ Jason Curtis got in some intense training this past week, in preparation to ride Hondas for the first time next year.

Curtis spent 3 days at the Freddie Spencer High Performance Riding School in Las Vegas, with Coach Jeff Haney close at his side. The schooling was followed by a demanding day of track riding alongside Haney and Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo at the Las Vegas Speedway track day sponsored by Dale Kieffer of Racers Edge Performance.

When asked about the school, Curtis said, “You couldn’t ask for a better training ground. I have been to the school twice now and plan to attend several more times before the AMA season starts in March. With great coaches like Freddie Spencer, Jeff Haney, and Nick Ienatsch, it is easy to see how much you can learn. I have to give big thanks to them for helping me prepare for the next level of racing.

“A school that can put professional and beginning riders in the same class, and have them both to learn at the same time, is a school that anyone should seriously consider attending. Regardless of what the lap times will tell us, all levels of rider are equally aware of their individual limits, and are all trying to push that limit in order to be better riders.”

Both the No Limit Rider and Jason DiSalvo, were preparing for the tough AMA schedule under the watchful eyes of Jeff Haney and Freddie Spencer. As Curtis put it, “It is exciting to ride beside a coach like Jeff Haney. We both have our heads down, putting in some fast laps, and I notice Haney pointing out lines with his right hand, while his left hand is on the throttle, and his bike is leaving big black marks on the exits of the corners. That’s his way of telling me to relax, get comfortable and smooth and you will go faster. It is something you have to see to believe, it is awesome. He has started to help me prepare to ride a 600 for the first time …. Thanks Jeff.”

Curtis added “I look at the 600 class in a whole new light, never having ridden a 600 before in the AMA. I know that the Formula X bike is hard to ride, but I have to say that I can’t believe how far you have to hang it out to get up to speed on a 600 to get good lap times. I was really happy with how the F4i handled around the track, and I can’t wait to get the 600RR and see what that’s all about. I will be riding the 954 in the next month up at Willow Springs.”
