This year decided to do some trackdays but never did....this winter i want to get setup and be ready 100% for next year.
I dont want to race but rather take my bike/ a track bike pay my entrance fee and just ride all day.
I can only go on the week days and live in oakville
to get started what do i need
- can i take my street bike on the track
Sure why not, for track days you just have to replace coolant with water and remove and/or tape over all your glass/plastic bits. Most trackday organizers will list what they require on their website (check out pro6, GPbikes and DOCC. Also SOAR runs a track day on thursdays before their race weekend. DOCC has a pretty relaxed paced noob group and GP bikes track days don't even require coolant change over...it very much seems like it's geared towards street riders who just want to try the track). if you like track days and really want to keep doing them, i would look at getting a track only bike...why mangle a perfectly good street bike.
-can i buy a salvage from the states and beat that at the track with out mods
Yep. Make sure it's mechanically sound and not a hazard to yourself or others out there (everything securley fastened and working properly, not pissing fluids). Most supersports are fast out of the box, don't bother monkeying with mods till you find out what it is you actually want to change after riding it.
-have full leather with tears...is that acceptable
scuffs are ok, tears and holes probably are not. trackside cuts (drew & sunny) and/or john bickle can take care of you in terms of making sure ur suit is good to go in that regard. both are awesome people.
-are there any schools that allow you to use your own bike
FAST does give you the option of using your own bike, racer5 provides bikes. Full disclosure, i've done both and while I have nothing but positive comments for FAST, Fawaz's racer5 operation is pretty polished as well. Did a bunch of stuff with them this year and it's a great "one-stop shop" for anything that might be required for track/race stuff. Might be worth starting there and seeing how you like it? I'm not sure what your previous riding experience is.
thanks for any replies
