Race School Moto Series and Track Days

Moto Series Race School

Taking it to the Next Level

General Information

Have a competitive side? Want to reduce your lap times but find yourself hitting a plateau? Take the race school and start racing! Nothing drops the lap times like racing. Even if you never considered it, racing can be the most fun and cost effective way to go faster. Novice racers often use pump gas and advanced street tires, so forget all of the things you've heard about it being expensive. We generally recommend you start racing on a small bore machine, such as a 650 twin, but any machine is acceptable, with the 600 inline four machines being the most common.

During the race school, many important areas will be covered such as:

Turn in Points
Braking Markers
Drafting
Passing Setup Etiquette
Defensive Lines
Grid Procedures
Race Starts

The cost is $50 in addition to the track day cost. The race school signup is available under the open session signup products in the checkout system. Included in this is a free single event license ($25 value) or a $50 discount on a full year's race license! The full race license may be purchased after you complete the race school.

A Moto Series Race License/membership or single event license is required to race on all race events unless otherwise stated. This differs from our track days where no license or membership is required. Obviously, a race license is not required to take the race school, as it falls under the track day. Some special non championship race events may waive this requirement, watch the calendar and checkout cart for future developments. The cost for a single event license is $25, while a full year's membership/license is $100. With 9 rounds usually planned, a full year's license is the better value.

Track Day Operations

The day will consist of rotating groups of on track activity. The order is nearly always the same. Three sessions before and four sessions after lunch for each group. The race school operates during the Open group.
