Hey guys
ya to get to the track everybody trailers there bikes, or they rent pickup trucks that can usually fit two bikes in the back
spokane days are very informal, there is no official tech like there is at SIR and PIR, but here is a list of generally required items and also recommended:
Required:
-all lights taped up, head light, turn signals, brake light, and all reflectors and take off your mirrors
-protective gear, leathers (one or two piece) it is recomended that the two piece have a full zip but i have seen people use two pieces that are marginal in my mind, good helmet, gloves, boots and back protector is also strongly recommended
-good tires and breaks, try and make sure there is at least 60-70% tread left, and good brakes
that is all that i can think of that is required for spokane, and remember that other tracks are FAR more stringent
recomended but not necessary
-replace anti freeze with water and possiblyh water wetter
-safety wire oil filter, oil drains plug, coolant plug (i havent had to do this for any track day yet)
-get frame sliders, and notch your levers so if you crash hopefully only the ends break off and you can still ride
just remember safety and having fun is the biggest concern so make sure everything is in good working condition and most importantly leave any EGO at home! thats what gets you in trouble
if someone crashes its up to us to clean up, if the bike cant be ridden back we take a truck and pick it up, also we have a broom to sweep the track and if necessary the track manager has a water truck that he can spray the track with
our days seem to coincide with over the tops so we will be there the same day
i cant remember anything else i should say buts its kinda early
my friend tchan748 is also on this board so i am sure there is ALOT he can add since he has been racing for years
