Yeah the only way I can have fun is if the wife is pampered and feels like she is on vacation, so the Hampton it is. Also, I will have the Q2's in the trailer just in case, but running the 016 Pro's. Figured I would save the Q2's for spanking Daniel and the 14R in October, then move up to Intermediate and take on the rest of you slowpokes, especially the young guns that might need some good ole schoolin (smacktalk anyone).

That's cute. I don't have a lap timer yet, but you'll do for now, Spanky. :poke:


Well, everything is coming together nicely. I'll be at Traxxion Dynamics on 9/28 getting the 14R's suspension rebuilt on both ends. Leathers are here. New Q2's and WaterWetter are in the garage. Mirror block-offs and metal valve stems are on the way. I even got green duct tape for the wheel weights. :laugh:

This is straight from the rule book. I'm just changing it out in case I happen to move to Intermediate at some point.


Advanced and Intermediate group riders must use water, water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. Automotive ethyl glycol based coolants are not allowed.

Just in case some of you haven't looked at this:

Track Day Regulations




Motorcycles and Equipment



  • You must ride a motorcycle appropriate for high performance track riding.
  • Severely underpowered motorcycles or those not suited to high speeds and
    lean angles will not be allowed on the track.
  • If you have any questions regarding your motorcycle and equipment, please
    contact us and we'll be happy to provide you with guidance.

Motorcycle Requirements



  1. All bikes must pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the track.
    If your bike does not pass tech inspection, you will not receive a refund. It is
    your responsibility to have your bike prepared prior to riding on the race
    track.
  2. Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 50%+ of
    new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed.
    We will have on site tire service at most events, so if your tires don't pass,
    you may have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech. Please
    contact us to confirm tire service will be available at your event.
  3. All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or
    removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and at least taped
    over for all other groups.
  4. We recommend but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes with
    center stands will be allowed in the Advanced Group due to the ground clearance
    issue.
  5. All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button
    and self-closing throttle in good working condition.
  6. Advanced and Intermediate group riders must use water, water wetter or a
    non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are:
    Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. Automotive ethyl glycol
    based coolants are not allowed.
  7. All valve stems must have caps.
  8. Wheel balance weights must be well secured and duct taping is required.
  9. License plates must have bolts taped or be removed.
  10. Advanced riders only must safety wire oil drain plugs, oil filter and oil
    fill caps. Intermediate must have a minimum of RTV or Silicone dab on the oil
    drain plugs and oil filter. ** Please note that if you spill oil on the track

Rider Gear Requirements



  1. Damage free BSI,ECE-2205, DOT or SNELL full-face helmet with
    face shield.
  2. Riding boots that fully cover the ankle.
  3. Gauntlet style gloves with full wrist coverage.
  4. One or two piece leathers. Two piece leather suits must zip together for
    Novice, Intermediate or Advanced groups. Ballistic nylon suits such as Joe
    Rocket, AeroStitch etc. are acceptable in the Novice

    contact, reinforced and padded shoulders, elbows, hips, and knee areas. No
    chaps.
  5. Advanced and Intermediate group riders are required to wear back protectors.
    Soft back pads sewn into suits are not enough. We sell Knox back protectors at
    special STT member discounts. We can arrange to deliver
    your new back protector to you the day of your event or ship it to your home. We
    have a limited number of back protectors for rent at each event.
  6. STT also asks that you consider the use of a chest
    protector.

Rider Meetings



  • Each day begins with a mandatory Rider Meeting. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANYONE
    WHO WANTS TO RIDE THAT DAY!!
  • Daily Rider Meetings cover information that is critical to the safety of all
    riders participating in the event.
  • If you miss this meeting you will forfeit your ability to ride and you will
    not receive a refund or credit of any kind.
  • If your day is important then you need to arrive on time.

Registration and Tech



  • Standard Events Registration and Tech open at 7:00 AM or 7:15 AM (depending
    on the venue) and closes at 8:20 AM when the riders meeting starts.
  • Registration and Tech Inspection for riders who were "late" but present at
    the riders meeting will re-open at 9:00 AM for an additional 30 minutes. You
    will likely miss your first on track session due to being late. PLEASE be on
    time.
  • Tech and registration will then close for the day at 9:30 AM.

On Track Regulations



  1. Riders may only enter the course under the approval of the grid entry
    marshal or Sportbike Track Time staff.
  2. Riders exiting the track into the pit area or paddocks may only re-enter the
    track under the approval of the grid entry marshal or STT staff.
  3. Riders exiting the course into a runoff area may only re-enter the track
    with the approval of a corner worker or track marshal.
  4. Any rider who crashes may not directly re-enter the track. That rider must
    wait for the crash vehicle to bring the bike back to the pit area. In addition,
    the rider must wait with the crashed bike and not attempt to cross the track or
    walk back to the pit area.
  5. No rider may at any time ride in such a manner as to endanger life or limb
    of other riders, officials, or guests. Such riding includes blatant violation of
    flag conditions as displayed by corner workers. Riders who act in such manner
    and are reported to track officials or Sportbike Track Time staff
    will be ejected from the event, without exception or appeal.
  6. Only the registered rider may ride on the track during ride sessions.
  7. Any rider observed riding recklessly in the pit or paddock area may be
    ejected from the event. However, warnings will be given wherever possible for
    minor rule violations. We are at the track to have a good time, not police our
    riders every moment of every event. It is your responsibility to be safe and
    courteous to other members.

FLAGS


Each rider is required to know all the policies and regulations including the
proper adherence to track flagging procedures.


  • GREEN - The track is open. Let's ride!
  • RED - The track is closed, most likely due to a
    crash or some other hazard that needs to be cleaned up. Put your arm in the air
    when you see this flag and slow your pace considerably but predictably. Continue
    at a safe speed and leave the track when you reach the EXIT point unless
    directed otherwise. DO NOT STOP ON THE TRACK.
  • CHECKERED - End of the session, continue
    your lap and leave the track when you reach the EXIT point.
  • YELLOW - This flag could be waving or
    steady.

    STEADY or STATIONARY means that you need to sharpen your
    focus and be aware of a potential distraction. This could be a slower rider
    ahead, a bike well off the track but still visually distracting. DO NOT grab a
    big hand full of brake because you will get run over. Maintain your pace and
    obey the passing rules for your group.

    WAVING means to slow your
    pace and be extra vigilant for a possible trouble spot. The track will remain
    open but there is some kind of hazard that could cause a problem. Passing is NOT
    allowed within the zone where this flag is displayed.
  • BLACK - This flag will be pointed directly at
    you and means that there is either something wrong with your bike or your
    actions. Raise your arm to let the corner worker know you saw the flag and move
    off the racing line in case you are leaking fluids. Come into the pits and
    report to the track control official.
  • AMBULANCE - Someone has crashed and is
    injured and needs immediate attention. This flag will be accompanied by a RED
    flag. The ambulance is on the track and heading for the crash site. Put your arm
    in the air when you see this flag and slow your pace considerably. Leave the
    track when you reach the EXIT point.
