Ok, this is the deal on the gear questions. If you are planning on participating in this event and you would like to wear the draggin jeans or something similar. As long as the owner is willing to crash in them they should work. The last event there was 21 riders, we had 3 of them crash, one of them requiring a visit to the hospital. He was also wearing top notch gear when he crashed. There is a realistic chance that anyone riding that day will have an opportunity to speed test not only there ability but their equipment... You should consider it to be a mini track day without other bikes on the track.
