Our team of track enthusiasts have been attending and organizing events on-track for decades, coming up with a simple but effective set of rules and regulations for you and your bike to follow when attending one of our events. From bike prep, riding gear requirements, and registration procedures, to rider and spectator conduct requirements, the following pages will explain in detail what is expected so that you can arrive to the track confident and comfortable about your day. Sticking to these simple guidelines is what allows us to provide a safe and fun environment for everyone at our events, resulting in lots of time on track for every rider!
It is the responsibility of each participant to be fully aware of the rules and guidelines that follow. The "Trackday Guide" must be read in in full before participation in your first event. Please direct all questions to trackdays@pro6cycle.com or in person to trackday staff before your first time on track.
