  • Pretty much anything! Depending on the track, your motorcycle has to be 125cc or 250cc and above. It must be mechanically in working order, and depending on the motorcycle you might have to ride in the Novice group. Please remember certain tracks, such as WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and Sonoma Raceway, have sound restrictions, so you may be required to put a stock exhaust on or a baffle in the aftermarket exhaust on your motorcycle.

    Please contact info@funtrackdayz.com with any questions regarding your motorcycle!

  • In order to remove distractions for yourself and other riders, you must remove or tape off and fold in your mirrors, unplug or tape off your lights, indicators, brake lights and tape your wheel weights. We recommend safety wiring GoPros mounted to the motorcycle or helmet. There is a bike prep station at the track in case you need help with any of the above.

  • Check your brake pads, make sure they are not worn out. Your tires must be well above the wear bars, make sure to check your tire pressure. If you are not sure what tire pressure you should run, check with our tire provider. Ensure your brake lines, forks, seals and any other parts of the bike are not leaking any fluids. Make sure your throttle is self closing. Check your oil, tighten your filter, drain plug, bars/rear sets and make sure all your bodywork is securely fastened. Additionally, check your chain adjustment and coolant levels.

    If any of these don’t check out during tech inspection, you will not be allowed out on the track.

  • You need a DOT full face helmet (no modular helmets, sorry!), one piece leather or two piece leather suit that zips together, gloves and boots. You can wear a textile one piece or two piece suit that zips together with protective armor in the Novice group, but we highly recommend wearing leathers.

  • For additional protection wear a back protector or an air vest. We recommend wearing ear plugs which are available at registration. Ear plugs reduce outside noises allowing you to concentrate and focus more.

  • We do offer a limited selection of leathers and different sizes of Arai helmets for the rider's use.

  • While Fun Track Dayz does not offer motorcycle rentals, however, Feel Like A Pro does. Please visit their website to see which of our events they will be at.

  • Yes. Signing up for Novice group will enable you to participate in the lead and follow session to learn the track layout and race lines. It will also allow you to attend all the classes to learn a lot of useful tips and techniques on how to go even faster in a safe manner which in turn will make your street riding safer.

    Once you learn the track and feel like you’re ready for the next group, an instructor will evaluate you and if space is available, we will work with you to get you moved up.
