Who wants to have FUN and go FAST???
You have probably seen many road courses being ran by the
pro's but have you ever wanted to run a road course yourself? Just to get out
there in a controlled environment to really push your bike to it's limits and
improve your riding skills. Just
think, clean pavement, no cars, no trees, "NO TICKETS", just open track!
MCRA and their affiliates sponsor several track days and race
events. Join our MCRA
Forum to view the most recent event information past and present.
What is a TRACK DAY?
Registrants (Track Day participants) are divided into different classes
(Street/Novice, Intermediate and Expert) according to motorcycle type, displacement and
overall riding skills. Only one class is permitted on the track at a time. A
class session will last between 11 to 20 minutes (depending upon scheduling) in
which they are permitted to run on the road course. Each session is scheduled to
give each class as much track time as possible while still allowing time between
sessions to get tips from other riders on how to improve their personal skills.
Although you may start out in one class, instructors and track monitors may ask
you to move up or down to a class which better suits your personal riding skills.
Street/Novice sessions are chaperoned and speed restricted for safety.
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY: All motorcycles will have to pass an on-site safety
inspection before allowed to enter the road course. Some tips are to make sure
all bolts, nuts, fasteners, etc are secured (nothing that can fall off the
bike). No oil leaks, replace antifreeze with water/water-wetter solution
(antifreeze spilt on the track is slippery and VERY hard to clean up). It is a
good idea to remove mirrors, turn signals or have the lenses and mirrors taped. Passenger
pegs and side/center stands should be secured in the closed or up position as so
that they may not open. Headlights and taillights should be disconnected and
taped up so that they are not visible It is a good idea to turn off or unplug
your head light before taping it up. The headlight will produce enough heat to
melt the tape and will be very hard to remove later.
SAFETY WIRING: The basic 3 are required to be safety
wired for Intermediate and Expert classes. This means your oil drain plug, oil filter and filler
plug MUST be safety wired properly.
RIDER SAFETY:
All riders participating in the Track Day sessions will be required to wear
specific safety gear. The general requirements for all classes are Full Leathers or Aerostitch type
suit with either a one piece or a zip-together (zips all the way around) two-piece design, Full-Face
Helmet, Leather Boots and Gauntlet Style Gloves (over the wrist).
REGISTRATION: There is a limited number of registrations
that the MCRA can accept and operate a Track Day safely. Registrations will
remain open until we reach this preset number of entries. Once that number is
reached, registrations for that date will be closed to new participants. The key
is to register early to guarantee your date.
