*License plate and kickstand ok.

*Safety wiring and water wetter are NOT required.

*It is not required, however if you or someone you know changes your oil before a track day PLEASE make sure your drain plug is secure!! Drain plugs that are screwed in too loose, or too tight, could fail. If your drain plug fails and you spill oil on the track, a cleaning fee will be assessed by the race track.

• Leather suit. Textiles suits are NOT approved - check out gear rental tab for more info if you need a leather suit for the event. Either a one piece OR a two piece that zips together.

• Proper motorcycle riding gloves; should be leather and come over your suit sleeve to cover your wrist - no exposed skin when moving around. 
• You must have motorcycle boots that come up over your ankles. No slip-on or sneaker style riding boots - no skin showing between the boot and pant leg when your foot is on the peg!
• Back protectors are highly recommended, but not required.

***Schedule May Vary Depending on Track and Number of Groups

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROUPS A, B, & C?

• A Group - Also known as the advanced group, is the fastest of the three groups. This group is for the most experienced riders as well as racers. A-group allows for inside or outside passing any place on the track.
• B Group - The B group, or intermediate group, is for riders with some track day experience. If you are faster than the C group, but do not have enough experience to ride in A group, the B group is for you. B-group allows for passing anywhere on the track. A safe passing distance must be maintained at all times.
• C Group - The C group is the beginner group. This group is for riders with little to no track day experience. If this is your first track day, or if you are new to Buttonwillow, the C group is a good place to start. Passing is restricted to the straights and the outside of corners.

NOTE TO ALL RIDERS: Please register for the group that best fits your skill level. If your group is sold out, DO NOT register for the wrong group! If you are too fast or too slow for your group you will be asked to move to another group, if that group is full, we may ask you to sit out until a space opens up in the appropriate group. If you have questions about which group to register for feel free to email us at info@letsridetrackdays.com, we will do our best to help you make that decision.

CAN I CHANGE GROUPS IF I THINK I'M IN A GROUP THAT IS TOO FAST (OR TOO SLOW) FOR ME?

Yes, usually. There is a limit as to how many bikes we can allow on the track at one time so group changes are usually, but not always, possible. If you feel you are in the wrong group, you should go to tech or grid to request a group change. If you are asking to move to a faster group, we will ask a Let's Ride instructor to ride with you to evaluate you first. Group changes are not guaranteed and are issued at our discretion.

CAN I RIDE A BIKE IN TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS?

Yes, for an additional fee. Please contact us to make special arrangements. Note: The option to ride in two groups is dependent on availability the day of the event and limited to A & B group. You should register for your group of choice online, then email your request for a second group OR ask when you check in at registration that day if there is room to add a second group.

CAN I RIDE TWO DIFFERENT BIKES IN MY LEVEL?

Yes you can. Rider's are limited to ONE tech sticker for each ticket purchased. You will need to come to tech to have them remove the sticker from your first bike before coming to tech your second bike and getting a new tech sticker - customers are NOT permitted to swap their own bike sticker. Doing so may result in rider being done for the day. 

WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO BE AT THE TRACK?

Any time BEFORE your rider's meeting time (8am for A group and 8:25 for B and C). When overnight camping is available, the gate stays open all night - check the event pages to see if we are offering overnight camping.

*Limited sizes in boot and gloves are also available. Contact us to check availability. 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Your bike and riding gear. DON'T FORGET YOUR KEY! Tools; a basic tool kit, tools to take your wheels off if necessary, and a tire gauge. Water and maybe some ice! Some other good suggestions are chairs, ez-up, sun glasses, sunscreen, something to snack on, lunch (or money for lunch at the Tower Cafe).

CAN I RIDE MY BIKE TO THE TRACK?

Yes; however, we highly recommend that you don't. You will be pretty worn out after a full day of riding at the track!

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. Check the event page for any gate fees that the track charges. 

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

We have a rain or shine policy. If it rains, we ride anyway. If you know rain is in the forecast, come prepared and plan on having a good time. A little rain can still be a lot of fun and its a great way to practice throttle control and being a smooth rider. If the rain is sporadic, you could choose to sit those sessions out and ride when its clear. If it starts pouring rain or if for some reason the track conditions become unsafe to ride we may temporarily close the track to let it pass. Extreme weather such as hail or lightening could warrant cancelling the event.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?

While we understand that sometimes plans change and life happens we need adequate time to fill your space in the event that you cancel. If you cancel AT LEAST 14 days prior to the event:

• We will issue credit towards another track day.
  OR
• We will refund the money you paid less a 10% processing fee.
