    Yes, separate sessions are run for race bikes and I'm pretty sure we only allow race bikes in those sessions, we don't let them go out in the other sessions. By WOF standard we mean the bike must be in good working order - chain not loose, tyres not worn through, nothing falling off the bike, etc. And the verdict of those doing the scrutineering is FINAL - if we don't think your bike is up to the rigours of a track day, it WON'T be going out on the track.

    Please ring Andrew (his number is in the first post). I am not sure of our regulations regarding this and would not like to say yes, a learner's licence is fine, or no, you have to have a full licence. He is the club president and what he says goes.

    No worries, I'm happy to pass on information and help with any questions that I know the answers to, but for things that are outside this, you are best to go to the horse's mouth, so to speak! I don't have the authority to say yay or nay with regards to stuff like cameras mounted on the bikes, full or learner's licences, etc so it's best to ask el presidente!

    It would be just my luck to say that a learner's licence was okay, you have a little off and despite it being a track day and not a race session, you end up with a bent bike and no insurance because the company turns around and says you were not riding the bike within the conditions of your licence - as a for instance.

    Is there anyone heading up from the welly region that could possibly give myself and my rg150 a ride up? I was in an accident the other day and my car is currently sitting at the panelbeaters - I'd be surprised if its sorted in time.

    Fuel money & hugs will be given in return...

    We've got a club night tonight so if I remember I'll check with him about the learner's licence. A race licence would probably be fine, but I'd be worried about letting a learner, who is restricted to 70kph on the open road, go out there in a session (they'd only be allowed in the novice sessions I would imagine) where the average speed is about 100kph. Whether or not you have ridden at 100kph on a learner's licence on the open road is besides the point; we wouldn't want any grief if we allowed it.

    Right, spoke to Andrew at the club night last night and he said a learner's licence is fine, so that's from the horse's mouth! He said we require a licence (race or road) as proof of identity/age and whether it's a learner's or full doesn't really matter. Oh, and you would be restricted to the novice sessions.

    Speaking of sessions, bikes will be stickered for the different sessions to prevent riders going out in back-to-back sessions or changing what one they go out in to get more track time. You will be able to make ONE change during the day and that will be IT.

    As for the camera, he said that would be addressed at scrutineering - if the guys doing that think it's going to cause any danger, it won't be let through. Can't really make a ruling until they see it.

    .
    Cool, that will stop what seemed like 3000 bikes last time......

    Unfortunately it will muck up the idea of having one bike two riders in different classes.... I planned to do this, as my CBR is still broken from January....
    Sweet as though, we will just put another bike on the truck
