Rider Gear Requirements:

• Rider's must have leathers (two-piece that zip into one is acceptable). 360-degree zipper around the waist to prevent gapping and serious skin injury in the event of a crash is highly recommended. If you need to rent leathers, we offer Vanson Leather rentals - Click Here for the reservation form.
• Back protector (Hard shell, sanctioned race org. approved, i.e. Dainese, Knox, Bohn, etc.)*
• Leather boots or race approved boots (8 inches tall). Cordura hiking boots/ankle boots are not acceptable.
• Gloves (good condition, gauntlet style with closures).
• HELMET REQUIREMENTS: Snell, BSI OR DOT approved helmet (high impact tested) less than 5 years old. The production date will be located inside the helmet (depending on the brand, it may be on a sticker inside or stamped into the leather on the helmet strap). Helmets with any visible crash damage will be rejected. Helmets are made to withstand one crash, not numerous crashes. This statement can be verified with most helmet manufacturers. If your helmet does not pass tech, you will not be allowed to ride and will not be given a refund.

What else should you bring?

• Rain gear. It's a rain or shine event. (No refunds are given in the event of rain.)
• Earplugs. It makes riding much more enjoyable and it's easier for you to concentrate.
• Bring extra fuel but there are fuel pumps at the track.
• Water, drinks and some snacks. Keep yourself hydrated and your energy up throughout the day.

*Regarding back protectors: A soft foam liner does not qualify as a back protector. The foam liner offers little to no protection. CE armor is not much better. The hardshell type back protectors offer the most protection and are the most widely used. In the event of an accident, you need all the protection you can get. The cost of a $125-150 back protector is far better than the costs of spinal surgery and rehab.

Cordura riding suits are not allowed unless the event sponsor has made arrangements prior to the event. We reserve the right to turn anyone away whose equipment does not meet the above requirements. It is your responsibility to make sure your helmet is up to date. No refunds will be given.
