    Felix = Truly one of the "greats" with the STT organization. We love Char too.

    Definitely going to miss him! Best coach I've had (even if I did crash right in front of him)!

    I have known Felix and have had the pleasure drinking 5:30/6:00 AM coffee with him every weekend at the track for the last 11 Years.... He doesn't get on the Internet much.. Felix will be around.... just not working from my understanding...

    Not an inside story exactly. Felix announced this was his last year full time coaching since he has been at it since 2004. He just needed a break. We fully expect to see him occasionally show up in the future.

    Thanks, Felix for all the help, coaching, and tips over the years. I'm a better rider because of you. Hope to see you relaxing at a track soon.

    Don't think I've met Felix, but will say thanks sir for your time.

    All the coaches I have met really love helping others and I so appreciate it.

    I only got the chance to ride in his group a few times before I moved overseas. He is a class act and I look forward to riding a track day with him in the future. Take care Felix thanks for all your time and dedication to STT!!

    I only just recently moved up to I group, so I haven't ridden with Felix much. However, the little bit that I have he has been extremely nice, welcoming and enthusiastic. Thanks Felix!

    Felix is an awesome guy. As a father of a rider ( a.k.a. Nolan's Dad) Felix took special care with Nolan on the track. While Nolan's top speed was not that of the bigger bikes, Felix always looked out for Nolan. There was one day at Tally, where what Felix did for Nolan, will always stand out for me, and Nolan.

    Thanks Felix

    Felix is truly an awesome guy and an excellent instructor.

    My first track day ever at little tally. My father and I rolled up ready to hit the track but couldn't hook up to the 50 amp power at the track he let us borrow an adapter (for the price of two beers of course) and saved the weekend. He is always walking around checking on everyone and making sure they are having a good time. Always looking out for riders on the track ensuring a safe and fun weekend/day.

    Thanks for all you have done. Hope to see you around still!
    Matt
