Securing Oil Drain Bolt:  There have been  incidents caused by rider's oil drain bolts falling out, resulting in crashes and lost track time.  Fortunately, no one has been severely injured as a result of these mishaps.  To stop this trend we are revising our safety wire policy to require safety wire or RTV silicone adhesive on all oil drain bolts.  We will spot check bikes as they enter the track to insure compliance.  Naturally, we will be available to help any riders who have questions or need assistance with this requirement.  By the way, pre-drilled, safety wire-ready, drain plugs can be purchased from a variety of retailers (to include Racer's Edge, www.extremestreet.com) for those not wishing to drill their own bolts.

Trackside Support:  We are working with Dale Kieffer's Racer's Edge to provide the ultimate in convenient trackside support.  Under this new program you can purchase items online and have them delivered to the track the morning of your track day.  Visit www.extremestreet.com/support.htm to shop and fill out your order form.        

WERA Racing Licenses:  Would you like to take your track riding to the next level by becoming a club racer? SoCal Track Days, in conjunction with Jim Cox Racing, can help you make that happen.  We provide the training necessary to obtain a race license with WERA Motorcycle Roadracing (www.wera.com) at our track days. The training consists of a combination of classroom and on track instruction culminating in a “mock race” to insure you have mastered the requirements. Jim Cox is the primary instructor for the training. We are fortunate to have Jim’s skill and expertise available for this program. In addition to his many years as a motorcycle racer and Dunlop tire representative, Jim has also been teaching new racer schools for the past 14 years. He has trained literally hundreds of racers throughout the southwestern U.S. The course of instruction costs $100 (in addition to the fee for your track day) and will take most of the morning to complete. You must register and pay for the entire track day to be eligible to participate in the race license training.  After completing the training you must contact WERA to issue the license, the fee for the license is currently $100. As an added benefit, even if you never intend to race, having a race license will allow you to take advantage of the racer discounts available through most major motorcycle parts retailers (e.g. Lockhart-Phillips) and speed shops.
