Track Day FAQ's

The track day is open to riders on all bikes (you don't need to ride a Ducati, although it's a great idea!) and of all skill levels!  The track day will be ran in sessions for Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner groups rotating in 15-20 minute sessions throughout the day.  This event is appropriate for everyone from seasoned roadracers to first-time track riders.  Guests and spectators are WELCOME!

Track School FAQ's
A new rider orientation school will be provided for all first-time track riders so this is a GREAT event to make your first track day!  The school will consist of a combination of classroom instruction on track safety procedures and riding techniques, as well as on-track instruction with the TrackAddix riding school instructors.  Sessions will alternate from the classroom to the track throughout the day.  After completing the orientation school, students will be given a completion certificate allowing them to enroll in any open track day going forward.
