And Posting this here because I always find it difficult navigating Mid-Ohio's stupid website. Mid-Ohio Track Requirements Bike Preparation All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to being permitted on to the track. It is the sole responsibility of the rider to ensure their bike meets these requirements. If a bike fails tech inspection, it may be presented for re-inspection at any time. If a bike is involved in a crash it must be re-inspected prior to being permitted on to the track. No refunds will be made for bikes, which fail to pass tech inspection. All bikes must be prepared to endure high speeds on track. All parts must be fastened securely and adjusted correctly. All fuel, coolant, hydraulic and lubrication systems must be fluid tight (see below for additional information for Advanced and Intermediate bikes). Tires must be in good condition, without signs of excessive wear. Tire valves must have caps. Wheel weights must be taped. Brakes must be in good working order with a minimum of 1.5mm of pad remaining. Discs must not be excessively worn or loose. All bikes must have a functioning, well-marked engine cut-off switch on the handlebar near the right hand grip. Throttles must operate smoothly and be self-closing. Any glass or plastic lenses must be taped completely. Mirrors and turn indicators are permitted in the NOVICE GROUP ONLY. All others must be removed. Center stands are NOT permitted in the ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUPS and we recommend removing them for the NOVICE GROUP. ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUP bikes must use a non-ethylene glycol coolant. Water and/or water wetter, or propylene glycol solutions such as Evans, Engine Ice, Liquid Performance, or 7th gear, are permitted. ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUP bikes must have oil drain plugs, oil filler caps, and oil filters secured. We recommend safety wire, but will accept application of RTV silicone to the fitting. It is recommended that any filler/drain for any fluid system be secured. Fluid leaks on the track shorten everyone’s day. License plates must have bolts taped or be removed. Rider Gear Requirements All riders must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver's license. All riders must wear a damage-free full-face helmet with a properly fitted face shield. DOT certification is a minimum requirement; SNELL, ECE, or other enhanced certification is recommended. Modular (flip-up) helmets are permitted in NOVICE GROUP only. All riders must wear full-finger gauntlet style gloves. All riders must wear sturdy over the ankle boots. All riders must wear one or two-piece suits with substantial reinforcement and padding in critical areas (knees, elbows, shoulders, and back at a minimum.) ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUP riders must wear one or two piece leather suits designed for motorcycle use. Two-piece leathers must provide substantial attachment between jacket and pants. NOVICE GROUP riders must wear one or two piece leather or textile suits. It is recommended that two-piece suits provide attachment between jacket and pants. ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE GROUP riders MUST wear a back protector designed for motorcycle competition in lieu of, or in addition to, the standard back padding in their suit.

Figured I'd bump this thread for anyone doing their first track day on the 'unOFFICIAL OR Track Day' August 21st at Mid-Ohio. I was just reviewing this to make sure I don't forget to bring anything. I'll be bringing the following: 1. Prepped Bike 2. Suit, Gloves, Boots, Helmet 3. Back Protector 4. Air Compressor with Tire Gauge 5. Bag of Ear Plugs 6. Front/Rear Stands 7. Cooler with drinks 8. Few snacks 9. Zip Ties/Basic Tools 10. Chairs (will probably be getting a paddock garage) 11. Quick-Up tent if I don't get a garage 12. Bike Key 13. GoPros/Drone/DSLR/Gimbal 14. Open Mind Edit: 15. Gas Can full of Gas If anyone else has something that I may have missed and should bring, let me know.

you better hope this is true.

This will be mine and I believe @Tonik's first track day as well. We will all be learning.

If you have room, I'll snag a spot and contribute... You should still come out and hang out with the folks and take some footage! Bring out the DSLR or you can fly my drone.... Also could lend you my gimbal for a gopro also. I also signed up.... Could be in trouble

I'm just wondering how you were going to capture speed from a handlebar mount.... sounds like an elaborate mounting system you got planned... We'll throw a mount on your tank with the hero session... Nice small and compact that won't give you any excuses when I blow your fucking doors off through a corner. Okay, we're novice and we won't be allowed to pass in the corners, so blow your doors off on the back straight.

LOL My man Ib trying to get some spank material... hahaha Get it done IB!

I am signed up. I believe it's 50$ for the day.

Actually I thought it was a detour.... I was wrong.... That's the only reason @Tonik thought he was faster cause I thought we needed to take a detour

When did I go offroad?

Literally just had to deal with Sena Customer service and I'll back the fact that they are terrible. Went through some rain and my Sena 20S stopped working. Contacted them for warranty replacement and they said the 20S control module is on back order, but the full 20S kit is not. I asked why they couldn't go into the box and just remove the module and send it out instead of having to wait for the 20S to come out of back order. They refused. So now I have to pull the entire system out of my helmet (which takes several attempts to get them perfectly placed) so I don't have to wait for a back ordered items.

Just pick up a steering dampener and you'll likely not have to worry about this. When it happens, you can try to throttle it out, but it's not easy to do. Just pucker up, change your underwear and keep riding!

The Pitbull TRS works great and this appears to be a replica so I'd assume the same. @Hoblick How much did this cost you to fabricate?

Yup, I should do more research before opening my mouth. 9th or 16th is fine for me.

Sept 2/3 is Labor Day Weekend - hate riding on Holiday weekends (too much LEO presence) My vote is Sept 9 or16.

In case anyone wanted to check it out. My video of the American Burnout.

Keep us informed and I will definitely show up wearing earplugs while riding.

or maybe it's just you....

Welcome to the forums. My only tip is to stay humble on the bike. Trust me, probably contrary to your own belief, you don't know everything about riding motorcycles, so always be willing to learn and improve while riding. Don't get cocky because the moment you think you are in full control is the moment you find yourself on your ass wondering what the hell just happened. Stay safe and wear gear. Maybe we can get together some time and ride.

Guess I won't be needing a hotel :fistbump:

Nope, just on the windscreen

Could you PM me with a price? I'm interested.

OR how you finish a tire! I aint wasting tires to do that lol ....

Yea, was pretty fun!
