OK here's the info on the FREE FUN DAY Hi Rick Anyone who rides a brand of bike we sell – ie BMW, Buell, Harley – is welcome to come out and put their bike down the track. This is for street bikes – however some race bikes do come out – need to get the okay from Mark Wacker for those. (sometimes we will run our Destroyers, or some of the other race bikes). There have been times that we have had one of the big bikes (Top Bike) out for a couple of runs – adds to the interest of the day. Basically, it is a private track hire, for the benefit of our customers (and sometimes, prospective customers). Participation is at your own risk. Some basics – No cost Gates open around 9:30am; track time from around 10:00am to 2:30pm No limit on how many runs you have Canteen open M&W/Willowbank indemnity forms to be signed (this also gives permission to allow your image to be used for any promo stuff) Leather (or equivalent) jacket, full fingered gloves, boots, Helmet, open or full-faced, meeting one of the standards: AS/NZS 1698-2006 (AS/NZS 1698); SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 331.2A (US); SNELL M2000, M2005, SFI 41.2A (US); BS 6658-1985 No backpatch when on the track Hold, or have held, full civil driver’s licence, or hold provisional licence (learners not permitted) 25kph is the speed on all roads other than the dragstrip Other safety guidelines apply – eg if you are running a bike that would qualify for an Unlimited Drag Licence, then the associated requirements should be met – eg full leathers, approved full-face helmet So, hopefully, this will answer some of the questions that come your way. Just yell if there are any more. This is quite separate, of course, to anyone who is involved in our regular Harley Drags Series, that runs later with the Test N Tune (payment required, as usual).
Here are some pic's.
