WHAT TO BRING to the TRACK (and what to leave at home)

Here is a list of essentials we suggest you bring to the track to make your day safe, fun, and complete.

(Your) valid drivers license with a motorcycle endorsement, or a current race license from a recognized racing organization (OMRRA, WMRRA, AFM, etc.)

Riding gear (top down checklist):

Full-face coverage helmet, DOT or Snell-approved in good condition.

Full leathers, either one or two-piece zipped together, are recommended for all groups and are required in the A & B groups. C group may ride in armored textile (i.e., Aerostitch, Joe Rocket, etc.); in all circumstances, no bare skin exposed when on the bike in a tucked riding position.

Riding gloves with closure and/or a gauntlet overlap at the wrist. No torn-up seams or bare skin showing.

A spine protector (armor) is recommended.

Leather boots that cover your ankles. Avoid laced boots; they can tangle with your bike.

GAS Can If you show up with a 5 gallon can of gas and a mostly full tank on the bike you should be OK. Pump gas is available near PIR, but there is no local gas at Seattle, you'll need to bring all you need to Seattle.

Water, or Gatorade equivalents. You will be exerting yourself in a leather suit and that can lead to water loss, even on a cool day. Stay hydrated. Remember, PIR is a city park and alcohol is prohibited (beer available from the concessionaire at the end of the day, stick around for some bench racing!)

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Comfort & convenience items):

Folding lawn chair (or two). Will help you to relax between sessions.

Tire gauge Check your tires in the AM before you go out. Check them again for the PM sessions. Tom Young or any of the instructors can loan you a gauge too.

Hat, umbrella or shade (depending on the weather forecast) If it's hot you'll want some shade to cool off. If it's wet it's nice to have a dry place for your equipment. Not required if you're an Oregon native.

Bike stands - If you plan to remove your wheels & change tires, you'll need stands or blocks for the bike. Tom Y has some available with his tire changing equipment, but you might have to wait in line.

Tools - Bring enough tools to make chassis adjustments, fix hose clamps and do minor work if you're so inclined. Throw in some bike and face shield cleaner too.
