Track Day Prep

Track Gear

Helmet – DOT approved full face helmet. Your helmet should be less than 5 years old and undamaged. We cannot allow helmets that show signs of a crash or damage outside of normal wear and tear.

Gloves – Gauntlet style leather gloves that provide full wrist protection and fit over your track suit.

Suit – A 1-piece motorcycle track suit. Separate leather jacket and pants will be allowed if they zip together.

Boots – Boots must provide full ankle support and fit over your pants (unless designed to fit under).

Your Motorcycle

Getting your bike prepared is a simple but critical step to a successful day at the track. Our staff will inspect your motorcycle to ensure everyone’s safety. If everything checks out, you will receive a sticker of approval that will allow you on the track.  

Tires – Tires should be inflated to the correct pressure and have at least 2/3 tread life. Street tires are allowed. Our on-site tire vendors are there to provide new rubber, tire service/pressures and answer any questions. Secure wheel weights with duct tape.

Brakes – Brake pads should have plenty of life. System must maintain pressure and be fully operational.

Throttle – Must cleanly return, no sticking.

Lights – Headlights, brake lights, turn signals and reflectors must be taped over.

Mirrors – Remove or tape over your mirrors.

License Plate - Remove or tape over your license plate.

Cameras - Secure cameras to motorcycle with a tether. Helmet mounted cameras are not allowed.

Chain Clean, lubed, and proper tension.

Tighten it up – Check for any loose parts or leaks. Check oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels. Wipe down your bike so you look good in photos!

For You

Hydrate – Bring water and electrolyte drinks. Motorcycle riding can take a lot out of you so it’s important to stay well hydrated.

Food – Although the track may have some food for sale, it’s nice to bring some sustaining snacks to eat throughout the day. There is no official lunch break so be sure to stay replenished between sessions.

Downtime – Bring a chair and some type of shade to stay out of the sun when you’re off the track. It can be windy at times. So, if you have a canopy, be sure to secure it down.

Maintenance – Bringing just a few simple tools to the track can be very helpful. We recommend 8 and 10mm sockets and a set of allen/hex wrenches. Think of anything you might need to make small adjustments in the field. Don't forget zip ties!

Gas – Although fuel is usually available for purchase at the track, it never hurts to have extra! A bike on track consumes fuel quick.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Track Riding only for racers or professionals?

Not at all! In fact, we believe that the track is the safest and most effective place to learn how to become a better rider and explore the true capabilities of your motorcycle.

Is riding at the track dangerous? 

Track riding can be considered safer than riding on the street! With an ambulance on standby, mandatory safety gear, and no cars or rough road to worry about, riding at the track might even be safer than bowling.

Do I need a bike or tires specifically for the track?

Nope! Many of our riders bring their street bikes, Harleys, adventure bikes, and more to the track to see what they can do. You just need to make sure to tape up your lights, blinkers, mirrors, and license plates. Street tires typically work just fine at B/C group pace.

What if I don't think I'm fast enough to ride at the track?

Don't worry about it! Our C Group is meant to accommodate those who have never been to the track before. We start each day with "Sighting Laps" during the first session of the day so you have a chance to get a feel for the track before you have to worry about picking up speed.

Why ride at the track when I can hit the canyons or highways?

At less than the cost of a single speeding ticket, you can have an entire day of revving your heart out! No speed limits, no cars to pull out in front of you, and even a dedicated photographer to capture your favorite moments on track! You won't know what your bike is really capable of until you take it to the track.

I don't know what to do to be a better rider. How will the track help me?

We surround you with friendly, talented, and laid back staff riders who are happy to help you with your lines or body position, along with many other tips and tricks both on track and in the pits. If you want to take things a step further, we also offer premium 1-on-1 coaching for an additional cost.
