These rider and cycle safety requirements are in place for your safety and the safety of the other riders, as well as the safety and well being of the track and track personnel. All decisions as to the requirements are within the discretion of track personnel, and our decisions are final. We reserve the right to refuse or deny participation on race or practice days with non-complying riders and machinery.
Track Safety Requirements:
We realize that close competition often involves split second decisions and maneuvers that may be considered to be 'on the edge'. We do not discourage competitive racing, but to the extent that repeated, unsafe, overly aggressive or dirty riding is observed or complained of, you will get ONE warning about it. If this conduct happens again, you will be asked to no longer compete in our program. Ride hard, but ride smart, as we want everyone to head home after a fun race day without a repair bill or especially a trip to the ER!
