Hey guys!
I'm sure these questions get asked A LOT, but I seem to come across multiple pieces of information and some apply to the track days, some for the race days, etc... and I'm just a bit confused?
I've never been to a motorcycle track day before, and have a few questions if someone has the time to give concise answers? Looking to sign up for the August 2nd event.
I. Safety Gear
What kind of rider/safey gear is required? I understand that I should at least have a M2015 SNELL helmet, gauntlet gloves, boots that cover the ankles (is a Dainese Dyno Pro/similar tall enough?). How about jacket and pants - are full 1 pc leathers (or 2pc zip together), required for the novice track day?
If so, are there any outfits that loan or rent out full setups? I'm not sure if I want to invest in a full suit yet if this is something that I may or may not attend on a regular basis? I'd at least like to try it out first.
II. Licensing & EMRA Membership
Do I need a race license for a track day/novice group? Additionally, do i need to purchase the EMRA membership for the track attack?
Things like a medical checkup, etc... I'm sure thats not required for a novice group track day right?
I read that the novice group gets pace laps to show the lines, but are there any classroom sessions during or other events that provide additional training?
III. Tech Inspection
I think this is pretty straight forward, however my bike is equipped with Pirelli MT 60 RS tyres. Will I be turned away for having a 60/40 type tyre on the track?
Any recommendations on brake fluid as well while we're at it?
I think that sums up most of my questions... show up early, attend the drivers meeting, learn the lines... and maybe bring a jerry can? Sounds like fun hopefully...
