      ALL ATTENDING TRACK DAY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

      I want one and all to have a bloody good time so there are some points that are NON negotiable.
      1) Bike setup/gear setup.

      ALL BIKES and RIDERS GEAR going on the track must be up to scratch .
      Heres a guide to refresh memories
      No sharp/edges/loose parts
      Tyres must be road legal for road tyres. (slicks to have visible dot marks)
      ball ends on all levers to be in place.
      .Mirrors removed or taped up.
      No leaking fluids.--- OIL/fork oil/glycol/
      GLASS headlights to be removed or taped up to prevent glass flying if you crash .Plastic headlights are fine
      Pack rack uppers to be removed -L arms to be taped over-preferably plugged.(plastic wine corks are good for this )
      Handle bar ends must have a solid end--NO open tube ends (PLASTIC WINE CORKS MAKE GOOD PLUGS)
      Brakes to work propperly FRONT and REAR.
      RIDING GEAR
      A full face helmet good fitting with no damage into the shell.
      LEATHER gloves,
      bike boots,
      cudura 2 piece,leather one piece or two piece suit.
      A back protector isn't compulsary but VERY strongly suggested

      THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE/GEAR IS UP TO SCRATCH
      If in doubt just fix it. -basicly if you feel you have to ask-is this ok? the answer is no
      I wont be scrutineering but if I see anything odvious you'll be fixing it or going home.

      -2 RULES FOR THE DAY -just a reminder
      1 Show concideration for everybody else out there -
      2 Stick to your line -Dont try to get out of anybodys way .
      3 when overtaking make sure you can do so safely.If in doubt -DON'T
      5 If a slower rider is holding you up use rule 3
      8 when leaving the track pull to the far right side of the track and nearing pits exit hold your left hand up to let other riders know you are leaving the track.
      9 if you are unlucky enough to run off the track-Raise your hand in the air to let us know you're ok.Push the bike away from the track to a safe place as fast as possible -recovery vehicle will pick you up or you can rejoin if bike is undamaged.The nature of the track means if you crashed in a spot theres a good chance someone else is likely to -If you dont move then I will have to stop the session untill you dont present a danger to yourself or other riders.

      12) the PITS speed limit is 40km/h and is NOT a stunt zone--stoppies wheelies etc -I concider this dangerous riding and will treat it as such

      18) YOU are responsible for your pit area -keeping it safe and keeping it clean

      Anybody worried that they'll get "stuck" behind a slow rider or as one elderly gent phrased it "Get blasted past by some red misted knob jocky" youll actually be amazed.
      What actually happens is that the track has so few people on it that theres room for everyone. First thing in the morning is the busiest then people relax and just buzz in and out at will .

      Never been to a trackday before.. Would this be good for a first time tracker? or shall I just give it a miss and wait for something a bit more n00b friendly to come along?
      Also any licence/insurance requirements?
