Going to my first trackday in June at autobahn. 1) Is fuel available at or near the track? 2) I have a sping style cotter pin on my rear axle. Will that pass tech, or will I need to replace it with the traditional bendy style one? 3) Any one reccomend a back protector for someone 5'8"? 4) Are upgraded pads for my sv650 advisable? I dont want to get there and get bounced 'cause I dont have enough pad. Actually is there a more detailed tech doc somewhere? The one of the main site is pretty vague.
If you think you brakes are near worn out REPLACE the pads. If yu ruin the rotors from metal to metal contact you'll be bummed. This is pretty unambigious. Does you machine meet these minimum requirements? If yes, then you're good to go. 1) All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the track. If your bike DOES NOT pass tech inspection, you will NOT receive a refund. 2) Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 75% of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed. Slicks are allowed in 85% plus condition. We will have on site tire service at each track day, so if your tires don't pass, you will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech. 3) All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and at least taped over for all other groups. 4) We recommend, but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes with center stands will be allowed in the Advanced/Racer Group due to the ground clearance issue. 5) All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition. 6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze coolent. Approved Brands: Engine Ice, Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Perfromance (LP).... that's it. 7) All valve stems must have caps. 8) Wheel balance weights must be well-secured. 9) License plates must have bolts taped or be removed. 10) No Fur Allowed.
Ahh okay. I guess Im just more used to auto track days where there is a real specific list of things they check at tech. Any word if there is Fuel available onsite at autobahn?
Autobahn has fuel 93 and 100 or 110. It's about $4 per gallon. We'll ss you there and make sure you enjoy you experience. Thank you, STT Staff
