    We have spots available in all groups - come on out and ride this great new track!!!! We hold our group numbers at this track lower than any other track org!!!!

    The garages at NCM are now complete and available for rent - contact the track about that. There is electric in the garages. If you want an RV spot, you should also reserve that with the track - they are limited!

    Gates open approx 5:00pm Friday night and stay open til 9:00pm, if you make it in by 9:00pm you can then come 24/7, if you don't make it by 9:00pm gates re-open Sat at 7:00am-9:00pm and Sun 7:00am-5:00pm. NCM is in the Central Time Zone.

    No gate fee at NCM!!!

    We ride R*** or shine, please come prepared for Southern rain showers.

    If you need camping or electric, you need to pay the gate guard at the track for that. There is currently VERY limited power at NCM, so plan on bringing a generator.

    WE WILL ALSO HAVE YAMAHA GENERATORS FOR RENT!!! First come, first served.

    Tire service will be open Friday night 7:00pm-9:00pm to help you out. Then 7am to 7pm Sat and 7am-3pm Sun. We can now remove and replace your wheels for you if you do not want to get greasy. As usual, we will have our awesome prices on all the Michelin tires.

    Sign-up opens 7:00am both days and closes at 10:30am for the day. Please be on time.

    Tech opens 7:00am and closes 10:30am both Saturday and Sunday.

    Please note some NEW tech rules regarding GoPro (or similar) cameras:

    - all Gopros mounted on a motorcycle must have a tether from the camera case to a point on the motorcycle.

    - helmet mounted Gopros are not allowed at all on track

    - in our novice group, Gopros are not allowed on track in the morning sessions - in the afternoon sessions they are fine as long as the above rules are followed.

    Mandatory riders meeting 8:20am both days, Intermediate riders are first on track at 9:00am.

    Absolutely NO revving of motors before 9am or after 5pm. Idling through the pits on your track bike is fine - but let's try to help NCM be good neighbors. There is a 103dB sound limit at 50' at NCM, and they do enforce this limit with a 2-strikes and you're out policy (you have one chance to fix the problem and if not then you cannot ride for the remainder of the event). 103dB at 50' is actually pretty loud, but if all you have is a pipe with no muffler you might be in trouble. Plan accordingly.

    The bathrooms and showers at NCM are now complete!!!

    Shogun will be there with the lunch truck for food - they do awesome food.

    There is fuel available on site - see the track for that.

    Please keep your area clean and do not leave any race gas cans or tires when you leave.

    We must be out of the paddock by 7:00pm Sunday night.

    Any questions, please post up here.

    I can't believe the event isn't sold out. This track is one of the best in the country. The completed facilities make it a much better experience. Come on out to the best track with the best organization out there.

    If we pay for a person that will not be showing up until after 9 will they be able to get in. I'll have all his gear and motorcycle but they can't make it until like 11 or 12

    Stt runs the only configuration that the track sets up for motorcycles. Chicane at the end of the front straight and the last few turns are omitted due to safety concerns.

    To bad they cannot figure out a way to include the last few turns as that setup would be a blast.

    I was at the very first track day held there and what I was told was the last few turns had Armco way too close for safety. They have only ever used one configuration for motorcycles and the entire track for cars. I am not sure what would have to be done to incorporate those turns

    Here ya go! We use the line that is marked in "orange" and the Chicane at the end of the front straight. Track is run in a clockwise direction.

    Looks like I'll be at NCM on Saturday with Sam. I'm loading up two sets of tires just incase they are needed. Luckly I've had a extra set of wheels in my room for the last month in a box I never opened.

    I've got dinner with some friends and the GF that night though so I'll be leaving alittle early. I'm looking forward to some seat time! see everyone there!
