At the beginning of each track day a rider’s meeting will be held. This meeting is mandatory for every track day participant where we cover on/off track etiquette, flags, safety procedures and other track-side services provided throughout the day. In addition, any unusual or unique track conditions will be brought to everyone’s attention during this meeting.
