Do NOT chase down another rider who you are upset with either on track or in the pits.As soon as you lift a wheel, no one can predict where you are going, or how fast.

Stunts of any kind (wheelies, stoppies, etc) are not allowed.Continue to give that rider some space by maintaining your passing line. Once past, do not cut in front to retake the line. How much space varies as you progress up the groups, but crowding and pestering a rider you are trying to pass is dangerous for both parties.

Outside Passing is always allowed unless otherwise stated at the rider’s meeting. We do not allow any inside passing from the tip in point to the apex in any of our groups. In order to maintain the safest riding environment possible we have developed a simple set of rules and etiquette Passing Rules: We cater to the first time track day rider, as well as the responsible veteran rider that knows his or her limit.
