Q.  What do I need to do to my bike?
A.  Your bike needs good tires and must be in good working order with no leaks or any kind.  The chain should be tight and maintained property.  You must also cover your bike's brake light, headlight and signals covered with tape, and the mirrors must be removed.  You will also need to have your oil drain plug safety wired or siliconed.

Q.  Can I bring more than one bike and ride them all?
A.  Yes you can bring multiple bikes but they they will all need to be prepared for the track with the proper tires and in good condition.

Q.  I've never ridden on a track before, what is a good track day for beginners?
A.  Most track day organizations have A/B/C Groups, with A being the fastest and C being the beginners and smaller displacement bikes.  When at your first track day you'll want to take your time, learn the proper technique and get comfortable before you start going fast, so choose a track day that offers newbies a group where they can get acclimated.

Q.  Do I need tire warmers?
A.  On colder days it is recommended that you use tire warmers, however this is your choice.  Just be sure to take it easy of your first lap or two until your tires come up to temperature and give you maximum grip.

Q.  What if I Crash?
