Southern Track Days Event Rules and Requirements

Nobody wants to be a stick in the mud but with this type of event there is a certain level of danger that we all understand exists. That is why we reserve the right to expel any rider or riders at any time during the event.


Please make sure you are familiar with the flags you will see on the track before you head out to our next event.

Rules

Please make sure to register on time. The day of the event, armbands will be checked by race control during the entire event. No one will be permitted on the track without an armband, Tech sticker and Group decal. Anyone that is caught trying to cheat the system will be expelled from the event and all Southern Track Days events in the future. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!

NO STUNTING OF ANY KIND will be permitted. We all know the difference between a power wheelie and a stand up, between hard on the brakes and an endo.

No rider may, at any time ride in such a manner as to endanger themselves or other riders, officials, and / or staff. Such riding includes blatant violation of flag conditions as displayed by corner workers. Riders who act in such manner will be ejected from the event, without exception and will not receive a refund.

Alcohol and other intoxicants are forbidden during on-track hours, 7:00AM - 5:00PM. We can all have fun in the pits at night but remember to be kind to your neighbor at night

If you are found in possession of such substances you will be immediately ejected, forfeit your cash for the event and be asked to leave the track. We will be on the lookout for any violation of this rule.

Anyone who creates a disruption that interferes with the operation of the event will be ejected.

The use of IPods, MP3 players or any other device that plays music, news or TV is prohibited on the track or anywhere in hot pit, standard ear protection is permitted as long as it's not connected to an electronic device. Violators will be asked to comply; second violation will be cause for ejection. No refund will be provided.

The Southern Track Days Staff reserves the right to refuse admission to any individual. Any individual denied permission to attend will not receive a refund. You cannot sell your spot without prior approval from the Southern Track Days Staff.

Any rider who crashes must be evaluated by the on-site paramedic staff. If they determine you should not proceed, you're done for the day and their decision is final. If the paramedics determines you may physically return to riding, your bike and gear will have to be re-teched before you are permitted back on the track.

If you cause a crash that takes out another rider, the incident will be reviewed by the track personnel, the Southern Track Days Staff. If it's found that it was caused by an unsafe act you will be done for the day, no exceptions. Sorry.

This is a rain or shine event, no refunds will be provided due to poor weather conditions or acts of God.

All participants will be required to register and sign a release the day of the event and provide a photo ID. The release will state that you will not hold the Southern Track Days Staff or management responsible for any incidents that may occur. You may not sell or barter your spot to anyone who has not been approved by the Southern Track Days Staff. Failure to do so will be grounds for ejection and forfeiture of funds.

Ensure that your bike meets the decibel requirements that are now being enforced at most tracks. If you are signaled out due to a violation in the decibel rule, Southern Track Days nor its staff will be held responsible. You will have to re mediate your exhaust to meet Track standards. If you cannot, NO REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED.
