Q) For the "Try the Track" on my Ducati sessions on Sunday, am I required to do any track prep to my motorcycle?
A) NO track prep is required, this program is for STREET bikes and is not a full-speed track session, it is a guided on-track session at a "sporty" fun pace with our staff of riding instructors. Just ensure your motorcycle meets basic safety standards: Good tread left on tires, good life left in brake pads, no leaking fluids, fully-functional front and rear braking systems.
Q) If I want to do the TRACK DAY event on Saturday and/or Sunday, either the New Track Rider's School or just the Track Day since I'm an experienced track rider, is there a cost for that?
A) YES there is a cost. The Ducati-sponsored event including the demo sessions and the dinners on Friday / Saturday night are FREE, but the track day sessions require registration through our TrackAddix Track Day organization: https://www.TrackAddix.com
After you RSVP for the event indicating you would like to participate in the track day sessions, you will receive more information on how to sign up for that. If you're a NEW track rider on a Ducati who would like to take the New Track Rider's School, you'll receive a DISCOUNT CODE to use for a special offer as a Ducati rider!
Q) Do I need to RSVP for this event, or can I just show up?
A) Technically you can just "show up" at the track but most of the demo sessions will be prebooked by those who have RSVP'd so there will be no guarantee that you'll get to ride at all. So bottom like, YES please RSVP in advance, and if you end up not being able to make it just let us know so we can remove you from the demo ride schedule.
