Labor Day Trackday Extravaganza! NEED TO KNOW INFO
Dates:
8/30
8/31 and
9/1
Hi everyone!
So here it is; The (almost) Everything You Need To Know Thread!
Stuff you need:
1. Education – You need to have some kind of formal track riding training. Things that qualify: The PMP safety course, a valid (last three years) road racing license from a recognized organization, A current (last three years) certificate from a qualified school (Freddie Spencer, Pridmore, Keith Code etc)
2. Full leathers- one piece preferred, 2 piece acceptable if they zip all the way around.
3. A back protector
4. A full-face helmet (flip ups are not acceptable)
5. Gloves that extend past your wrist
6. Boots that cover your ankles
7. Emergency contact information in an obvious place (tell a friend)
If you need to take a class there are limited number of spots available for this day. Please see the sign up thread for more details.
Stuff your bike needs:
1. Bike should be in good condition- no leaks of any kind (including fork seals). All parts should be properly secured to the bike
2. Tires should have at least 50% tread remaining
3. Brake pads should have at least 50% remaining
4. All antifreeze should be drained and replaced with straight water or water with water wetter. (this is VERY important)
5. Mirrors are to be removed
6. Lights are to be taped over (prefer disconnected)
7. Extra Fuel – There is no fuel available at the track.
THERE WILL BE A TECH INSPECTION AT THIS EVENT Before heading out on the track your bike will be inspected to assure it's in appropriate condition for the track. Your radiator WILL BE CHECKED for anti-freeze, so please come prepared for the day.
A basic schedule:
7:00 AM - Gate Opens
7:30 AM - All rider meeting
8:00 AM - Tech opens
8:30 AM - Class Starts
9:00 AM - Track Goes Hot (fast)
9:20 AM - Medium
9:40 AM - Slow / Class
10:00 AM - Fast
10:20 AM - Medium
10:40 AM - Class / Slow
Repeats Until Lunch
12:00 - Lunch Track will be cold during lunch. We will have another riders meeting after lunch
After lunch we will be sticking with 20 Minute sessions (Fast at the top of the hour, Medium in the middle, Slow at the end)
Track will go cold at 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday and 5:00 PM on monday
Crashing: If you crash in the morning I'm going to ask you to take a significant break. At the discretion of the medics (for checking out you) and a qualified instructor (for checking out your bike) you MIGHT be allowed back out on the track after lunch. If you crash after lunch, I'm sorry, but your day is done. Best solution....don't crash. Most crashes during this day will mean that session gets red flagged so that we can make sure the day remains safe for all and check out the person who fell down to make sure they are OK.
Refunds: Please be sure you want to and can make it to this day when you sign up. I won’t be giving refunds if you don’t show. There are a limited number of spots available and I’m certain they will be in high demand.
Other Info:
PMP has graciously offered to open their cafe for us during the day.
We will have an ambulance, medics and corner staff on site all day (let's try not to need them!)
