For a first time rider, are we limited to racing after we take the track
racing clinic? I think that isn't until august 4. Is there another way to get
a class before that?

This is my first year riding the track so I may have a little insight. You don't have to wait for the clinic, which has already occurred. There have been several racers show up after the clinic and race. Just grab someone and let them know it's your first time. Most will be more than happy to give you some pointers.
Hope to see you there on Thursday!

be sure to show up around 5 to get some time on the track and receive the crash course (pardon the phrase) from a vet and/or swilkes
"And you should know that by being a racing driver, you are under risks all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver, because we are competing. We are competing to win, and the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory; it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th." - Ayrton Senna

Yep, get there early, 4-4:30 I'll be glad to go over the basics, if you need a bike contact swilkes, if you go this week someone else will have to show you the ropes, I will be absent.
Q: Do you really sprint with such reckless abandon that you need straps?
A: Yes.
A: Yes.

Practice days are planned for June 16 and 17. That would be a great time for those new to the track and missed the clinic. I am also considering practice days on the previous weekend (June 9 & 10) but I am also thinking about going to Tulsa Tough.
