I'm assuming you'd have to have full leathers to get on the track, right?

ditto that sentiment. you must be "pro" the second you go on track and that includes dealing with whatever may happen. last time I thought I'd drive up, run, and drive home in my cage I ate an axle on the line. major CHA-CHING and huge setback. understood the risks but didn't think I would get nailed like that!

Well ok, but the races are strictly amatuer. I believe the only thing you need is registration/ drivers license and helmet to compete. I will have full leathers when I run, its the safest thing. I emailed sears point for specifics. more details to come.

I'm definately up to go and I would ride out there. I doubt my street riding is an less stressful on my bike than a quick quarter mile jaunt. You only need full leathers if you hittin 10's I believe. I doubt I'm going to be running 10's so I should be alright since I have no full leathers. Think they'd mind up I just pulled a standup all the way down the track?

email from searspoint raceway:

THE SAFETY FOR A BIKE IS PRETTY EASY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LEATHER JACKET, GLOVES, LEATHER BOOTS OR HIGH TOP LEATHER TENNIS SHOE THAT COVER YOUR ANKLES, HELMET.

:laughing :laughing ... I guarantee you could do it ONCE... can't make any promises about the second time you try it. :D

I might actually be up for trying this sometime. Lemme work on my hole-shots at some traffic lights a few times so I don't loop it and I'll probably make it one of these Wednesdays :burnout

another email from searspoint raceway:

A cordura riding suit is also acceptable in lieu of the leather jacket.
A full face helmet is also required, Snell rating 85 or higher.

Ill race your bike with the dart we just need a very wide open road out in the middle of nowhere and i have no idea where that be =). The dart is running fine i still take it out every few weeks to spank of the SS camaros who think they are the sh!t. Anyone want to see a rolling burny on the freeway 70+ mph :D in a cage?...Mopar power! NAS power! :laughing
