Seems the word that we changed this didn't get around like I was hoping.

We've relaxed the requirements to allow more people to participate. You do not need a race license or completion of a race school in order to come out and ride! Here's what you will need:

- Full leathers, motorcycle boots, full helmet, long gloves (aka gauntlet).
- No antifreeze in your street bike (we'll have some gallon jugs you can drain it into there, if you don't do it at your house). This is a safety thing, that stuff is like ice to bikes if it spills on the track. If you feel you need an additive, Water Wetter is good as are any of the NON-GLYCOL-BASED products.
- We are not requiring taped lights, though it's highly suggested. We'll have masking tape there and can help you unplug them so the tape doesn't bake on. Removing your mirrors isn't required either, but again highly suggested. If not removed, pull them in and tape them.

At this point the only thing you need a race license or proof of a school for, is to use one of the R2SL loaner bikes. To ride your own, just sign up and come out!

Now ... You need to sign up and let us know when you're coming out, before you do. There isn't a deadline per se, but you should do it as soon as possible and no later than the day beforehand. Where can you sign up? You need to go to the following website, and fill out the form at the bottom to get on the list:

How much does it cost? Well, a minimum donation of $20 for every 3 hour slot you or your team signs up for will be required, per rider. This is still way cheaper than the $45 you'd pay normally. However there are pledge forms available - if you get pledges that meet or exceed the $20 per rider requirement, you don't pay a thing! This is a great way to get some tracktime and help a GREAT cause. If you have the gear, and have a bike, there is no reason why you wouldn't want to come out! :)

Now, go sign up! You know you want to. :up:
