PURPOSE OF THE DAY

This is a test and tune, skill enhancement day. It is NOT a race day. Rider's have a lot of freedom at our events. However, with freedom also comes responsibility. Everyone attending our events is expected to ride smart and exercise good judgement while on the track. If you are riding at 100% of your abilities, you are probably going to crash or cause someone else to crash.


SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

  • 07:00 am - Gates open.
  • 08:15 am - Rider's meeting begins. PLEASE BE ON TIME!!!
  • 08:50 am - Orientation laps

TECH INSPECTION

Please read our Tech Requirements.


ORIENTATION LAPS

After the rider's meeting there will be 2 orientation laps on the track. They are mandatory if it is your first time riding at that facility, and optional for those already familiar with the track. During these laps you will be shown the track layout as well as the entry and exit locations.


TRACK ENTRY/EXIT

It is imperative that you look far up the track to ensure that no riders are coming before you enter the track. DO NOT proceed directly to the racing line until well beyond the entry zone and at the proper speed to blend into the traffic.

When exiting the track, it is critical that you signal the riders behind you as early as possible. Get a hand high into the air and then move slowly from the racing line. Suddenly throwing a hand up and exiting at the last second creates a very dangerous situation! There may be another rider behind you that was setting up to make a pass and your sudden move could cause a collision. Also, once you have signaled that you plan to exit the track, there is NO changing your mind. If you decide to do a few more laps, complete your exit and then proceed to the entrance to re-enter the track.


FLAGS

Green Flag GREEN - The track is open!
Red Flag RED - The track is closed, most likely due to a crash or some other hazard that needs to be cleaned up. Put your arm in the air when you see this flag and slow your pace considerably. Leave the track when you reach the EXIT point.
Checkered Flag CHECKERED - End of the session, continue your lap and leave the track when you reach the EXIT point.
Yellow Flag YELLOW - This flag could be waving or steady. In either case, slow your pace slightly and be extra vigilant for a possible trouble spot. The track will remain open but there is some kind of hazard that could cause a problem. Passing is NOT allowed within the zone where this flag is displayed!
Black Flag BLACK flag - This flag will be pointed directly at you and means that there is something seriously wrong with your bike. Raise your arm and move off the racing line in case you are leaking fluids. DO NOT continue to the track exit point. Immediately leave the track surface when you reach a non-runoff area and wait for us to come and pick you up.
Meatball Flag MEATBALL flag - This flag will be pointed directly at you and means that we need to talk to you for some reason. Continue your lap, leave the track when you reach the EXIT point, and proceed to the TrackAddix trailer.
Ambulance Flag AMBULANCE flag - Someone has crashed and is injured. This flag will be accompanied by a RED flag. The ambulance is on the track and heading for the crash site. Put your arm in the air when you see this flag and slow your pace considerably. Leave the track when you reach the EXIT point.

PASSING

A safe, clean, and courteous pass is the rule here. We do not restrict inside/outside passing and do not set some arbitrary distance limit that can't really be enforced anyway. We ask that you be courteous of your fellow riders when passing. It is the faster rider's primary responsibility to make a safe, clean, and courteous pass on the rider he is overtaking. It is the slower rider's secondary responsibility to hold their line and not do anything weird or make any sudden moves when being overtaken. You will get plenty of track time throughout the day so there is no need to stuff someone in a corner or make a risky pass that might jeopardize the safety of the other rider.


CRASHING!

Testing the abrasion resistance of your leathers is not a recommended activity as it will increase the cost of your track day exponentially! Again, this is NOT a race day!!! If you are riding at 100% of your ability, you are putting yourself and other riders at risk for no reason. If you crash it hurts everyone. At best, the track will have to be closed for a short period of time to recover you and your wreck. At worst, you could sustain serious injury, cause someone else to sustain serious injury, and/or destroy your bike.

Should you have the misfortune of crashing, we will do our best to recover you and your bike as quickly as possible. If you are injured, we will get medical help to you immediately.


STUNT RIDING, WHEELIES, STOPPIES, BURNOUTS, ETC

This is not the place! If you are looking to "win friends and influence enemies" with your stunt riding abilities, or ride in an otherwise "Squidly" manner, please work that out at home with your local Police Department. We're sure they will be duely impressed.

Stunt riding of any kind, on the track, in the paddock, or anywhere else at the track facility will not be tolerated. If you are intentionally riding sustained wheelies, or intentionally raising the rear wheel off the ground in a sustained stoppie, or doing burnouts you will be ejected from the event and you will NOT receive a refund of any portion of your fee.


INSTRUCTION

We realize that sometimes you want to help your lesser experienced friends by giving them instruction and pointers on their riding. We think that's great, just don't do it while on the track. Discuss what your going to do when you're in the pit, and then go out on the track and do it. We do not want to see you on the track riding alongside your buddy, visors up, and talking about your riding techniques.


PIT/PADDOCK RULES

  • NO SMOKING!!! - There are just too many flammable liquids around to risk starting a chain reaction of exploding motorcycles and race trailers. Please leave the pit/paddock area if you must smoke. Thank you!
  • SPEED - No faster than a brisk walk. There is a lot of activity in the pit/paddock area, people walking around, etc. Please keep your head on a swivel and ride carefully when in this area.
  • WALLS and FENCES - No climbing, sitting, or standing on pit walls or fences.
  • DON'T BE A PIG!!! - You are an ambassador of your sport and we are guests at these track facilities. Before you leave, check around your pit area and dispose of any trash properly.

  • PETS and KIDS

    Whether your pets are your kids, or your kids are your pets, our events are NOT a playground for them. There is much activity and the environment can be hazardous for them. Both, children and pets must be kept under your direct supervision at all times. Pets must be kept on a leash and you must pick up and properly dispose of their droppings.


    PIT BIKES

    Pit bikes, scooters, bicycles, etc are for getting from place to place quickly around the paddock and racing facility. They are not to be used to "goof" around on, have pit bike races around the paddock, or occupy your children while you're out on the track. Children riding any motorized vehicle must be wearing a helmet and other appropriate protective gear.


    DRUGS and ALCOHOL

    • As far as illicit or illegal drugs go, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!
    • As far as alcohol is concerned, there is a time and a place, THIS AIN'T IT!!!
    • If we even think you are impaired by any of these substances you will be ejected from the event and you will NOT receive a refund of any portion of your fee. Nuff said.

    TRACK WALK

    During the lunch break, an optional track walk will be offered to those riders who wish a slower view of the track. We will transport you via truck or trailer and stop at several of the more challenging corners on the track. Discussions will take place regarding the lines, braking points, etc. Family and friends are welcome to join in!
