Test and tune track days are open to any member and style of motorcycle. The intent of these days is to improve one's personal skills. A skilled rider is a safer rider. PSRA promotes the use of the track for those reasons. If you feel a need to race on the streets come to the track, Its a safer and controlled environment.
Performance Riding Session Schedule:
Arrive early and sign-in with the organizers. Make final preparations and checks of your bike and equipment. An instructor or group leader will come and tech your bike and equipment before the start of the days session. Attend the riders meeting to review track rules, flags, rider groupings and other information. Take part in the pre-session track walk and inspection. This may involve doing some track clean-up, so be prepared to pitch in. Be ready for start of your riding sessions. There will be a horn sounded two minutes before the start of each session.
Additional items to bring:
Fill you fuel tank before you come to the track. You should not need additional fuel if you to this. Bring some food and drink to get you through the day. Bring some extra tape to cover up plastics or other uses.
Bike Preparation
Some basic bike preparation is necessary to participate in a Performance Riding Session. Many people ride their bike to the track and prep their bike before the session starts and this is acceptable as long as riders are ready to go before the track walk. Basic Bike Prep includes:

Mirrors (it is recommended to remove mirrors, but not required) If you do tape up your headlight and tail-light be sure to unplug the lights as it might burn the tape onto the lens. Ensure the bike is in good working order Tires are in good shape and are free of cracks and have adequate tread remaining and correct tire pressure. No leaks; for example, engine fluids are contained, fork seals are good, and all hoses are in good shape Bodywork and other items are securely fastened to the motorcycle Bike must have a functional engine kill switch No bike will be allowed on the track if the organizers deem the bike to be unsafe Rider Equipment Requirements: A D.O.T. or SNELL 95 approved full-face helmet, with visor.

Safety Rules
Basic points to remember whenever you are on the road course:
“Safety First” is the theme of Performance Riding. Each rider is expected to have a basic understanding of riding fundamentals and is fully familiar with the machine they are riding. The emphasis of performance riding is on technique, skill and attitude and not speed. Riders must be aware of course conditions at all times, paying attention to, and following directions and signals from track marshals. The circuit is strictly one-way. Never travel in the direction opposite to the normal flow of traffic. Your attitude and riding behavior will be monitored. Reckless driving, racing, and/or stunting will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave the facility. Think, Think, Think!!! Be prepared and anticipate the unexpected. Ride within your own limitations and adapt to the conditions of the road course.
Once it's safe - HAVE FUN!
