Re: MRA opens 2012 season at High Plains Raceway May 5/6!

I would love to try out SuperStreet but I have a couple of questions. Do you have to register by today to get in? Should I not try it out if my only track experience is a day at IMI?

IMI experience is fine, but not even necessary, this is geared towards street riders that may have never even been on a track.

Not sure if there is a pre reg deadline but I'll bet you can register day of event. I'll let Jim answer that for sure.

You can register the day of, but there is a cut off time. Don't ask me what that time is though.

Registration for Super Street is open up until the day of the event. We would prefer you pre-enter so we have an accurate count of participants and can staff instructors accordingly, but you can show up that morning and take care of the entry form and payment.
We've had many participants with no track experience so you will be fine. We created Super Street for street riders to try racing without the added overhead that is usually necessary to race.

I believe that Superstreet is one of the best ways to get into track riding/racing as you get quality instruction by a professional staff. It really help to not pick up bad habits by trying to learn on your own. Just my $.02

Speedshots will be out there shooting, along with Wicked Photos and probably a bunch of other photogs. Now clean up those bikes and leathers so you'll have great pictures!
