• Side mirrors must be removed. Taping over of mirrors is not permitted. Mirrors with integrated turn signals are the only exception, and must be taped over.
• We recommend, but do not require, removal of centre stands. It is highly recommended that side stands be removed from bikes older than model year 2000. Bikes with side stands should have strong springs to ensure that the kickstand cannot drop down accidentally.
• All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition.

• Your assigned bike number must be displayed on the front and rear, or front and both sides of your motorcycle. Numbers must be a minimum of 5" in height and be readabe from 100ft away. High contrasting colours and clean fonts are necessary. We recommend numbers be dark single colour on a white background.

• All on track video equipment (Go-Pro, Hero or other camera’s, Cell phones etc) must be approved at safety inspection. Have your camera secured to the bike how you intend to ride with it on track for safety inspection.
• No cameras mounted to your helmets or your body are permitted. 
• Cameras must be secured by a tether system. Cameras lost on track will not be searched for or returned. 
• No foam stick mounts or solid rod type mounts that could potentially impale during a crash.
• If using a cell phone for a lap timer, it cannot be mounted anywhere where it is a visual distraction while on track i.e. your triple clamp or dash. Pro 6 highly recommends a purpose built on track lap timer.

Pro 6 Cycle VIP events operate at select days during the season. Many elements are the same as our regular events except for a few special qualities:

• VIP events are run open track; there are not 3 groups. All riders are free to come and go on the track as they please. We do break 1 hour for lunch as well as two fifteen minute marshal breaks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
• VIP events are restricted to experienced Pro 6 Cycle trackday clients. Our general rule of thumb is that we need to know you. This means that you have done enough events with us that we know your name, how you ride, and that you are a safe and skilled enough rider to blend into the day. Riders who do not meet these criteria are still welcome to contact us if they wish to participate but must provide a reference from other reputable organizations.
• Riders must also be experienced “Red” or “Yellow” group riders and must meet or ride below a certain lap time which will be deemed appropriate by Pro 6 Cycle staff. Please include an average lap time at the track in which you are requesting to participate at within your email request.
• Riders must have ridden a minimum 5 trackdays at the specific track in which they wish to participate in the VIP, in addition to the above criteria.

Trackside emergency medical service and marshaling are also included.

Trackside tire service by Pro 6 Cycle, suspension service by Propulsion Racing, and any other trackside special event service provided by Pro 6 Cycle and its partners are also available to the client.
