Required means minimum to ride. Suggested is what I believe is a better alternative or worthy addition. Much of this falls under the “Doh” factor but one never does know… Gear: Required: One piece leather suit or two piece leather suit with a full circumference zipper or textile suit Gauntlet gloves (gloves that go over the wrists) Over the ankle boots Full face helmet (modular “full face” or flip-up style helmets are not allowed). Helmet must be DOT, SNELL or EU equivalent approved. Suggested: Skip any idea of a textile suit – leather is your friend Racing style motorcycle specific boots Back protector (not the foam POS that comes with most jackets) Chest armor Pucks in good condition Armored shorts/pants under the suit/pants Under suit or Under Armor type wicking shirt Clear and Smoked shields for your helmet Personal information: Required: ID (Driver’s license) Signed waiver form (NESBA) Suggested: Someone in your pit should have your emergency contact info and be aware of any medical conditions you may have Money to buy lunch, photos, etc. None of the following items are “required” but you should have them: 5 gallon gas can (full – don’t assume the track will sell gas - and you will burn a lot more than regular riding) Rear stand (front stand is a plus) Basic tools required to work on your bike – never “assume” someone else will have what you need Any bike specific tools unique to your motorcycle (particularly tools required to remove your front and rear wheel) Service manual for your bike (not your owner’s manual, it’s worthless) Racing tape (duct tape) Zip ties Electrical tape Loc-Tite (blue) Tire pump Tire gauge (good one) Oil Brake Fluid WD40 Windex or the like Microfiber cloths Paper towels and/or rags Medium to large cooler Some type of canopy (Easy Up) Folding chair(s) Ice Water, Gatoraid, etc. – lots of it, more than you think you need. Candy/Energy bars Canyon Dancer or similar Ratchet straps Any medicine, etc. you require Pen and paper Hat Sunscreen Camera |

Couple of other items I've found useful: -Bicycle or pit bike in case you wind up being a long ways from the rest room or group if it's a structured learning trackday. -Tire gauge should be a low pressure one that increments by one pound and typically only goes up to 50 pounds. -Sunscreen and lotion to help prevent yourself from being sunburnt and lotion for in case you do. Also, lotion helps in case you have any bad chaffing from suit -Generator for powering up your devices such as tire warmers, radios, etc. Buy one that's decent quality -Bodyglide http://www.bodyglide.com Great for preventing chaffing in areas such as neck where the suit rubs a lot |
