1. I am not a licensed racer. Can I rent a racebike?

Yes, any rider at least 18 years of age can rent our racebike for the New Racers school on Saturday and Novice Race on Sunday (requires 2 day rental). Our bikes are also available at select trackdays.

2. I am a licensed racer. Can I rent a racebike for Sunday only?

Sure, but Richard will school you, causing you great shame and embarassment to your SO and pitmates.

3. Can I share the racebike with someone else?

Absolutely not. If RaceBikeRentals observes any renter allowing another party to ride the motorcycle, the bike will be immediately confiscated with no refunds.

4. Are the racebikes safe and in good condition?

All our racebikes are new 2008 models. All racebikes will be maintained by a Certified Kawasaki technician & will be presented to you in clean, 100% operating manner.

5. Do you provide medical insurance?

No. It is your individual responsibility to ensure that you are adequately prepared for any medical costs associated with racing or crashing our racebikes.

6. What if I crash a racebike?

You are financially responsible for all damage to your racebike while in your possession. Ninja 250Rs are lightweight racebikes and crash with fairly minimal damage, so we do not anticipate heavy damage during crashes. Most damage will be limited to fiberglass repair and paint, footpegs, levers, handlebars, etc. The $500 hold placed on your credit card should cover most damage, however if the cost to repair the bike to its original condition exceeds $500, you will be responsible for that additional amount.

7. Can I take the racebike home with me at night?

All racebikes must be returned to the RaceBikeRentals pit location by 5 PM on your rental day. Under no circumstances will you be permitted to remove a racebike from the track facility.

8. What do you provide besides the racebike?

All rentals include the following:
Bridgestone race tires
Fuel as needed
Rear stand
AMB transponder holder
Full pit support including refreshments

9. What do I need to bring to the track?

If you are attending the New Racer's School, bring the following items:
DOT or Snell-rated full-face helmet 5 years old or newer in good condition
One piece leathers or two piece zip together leathers in good condition (We have rental leathers available for $50 per day or $75 per weekend)
Back protector
Race boots
Race gloves
Transponder - see Item 17 below regarding transponders
Chair

Items to bring if you choose to pit separately:
Chair
Food/beverages ~ We recommend plenty of water
10'x10' canopy during hot months with heavy weights for each corner (it can get very windy)
Small tool set
Sunscreen
Small fire extinguisher (mandatory)

If you are a licensed racer, in addition to the above items, you may also consider:
Front stand
Tire warmers
Fuel jug with pump fuel to meter your own fuel levels
Air bottle and gauge to adjust air pressures as needed

10. What other costs should I be prepared for at the track?

The following is a list of additional costs associated with a weekend at the track:

New Racers Saturday/Sunday School & Race:
Track entry fee: usually $10 per person good for weekend
Saturday New Racers School: $100
Sunday Novice race: $70
Club Race License: $120

Licensed Racers:
Gate entry fee: $10 per person good for entire weekend
Saturday practice (approx 6 practice sessions): $70
Sunday practice sessions (2) and Ninja Cup race: $70 (or $50 if 2nd race)

11. What charges will appear on my credit card?

At the time of your reservation, we will charge $250 for each day you have reserved a racebike. A day prior to the event, we will place a $500 damage hold on your card. This hold will be released on the Monday after the event.

12. Can I cancel my reservation?

Reservations may be cancelled 14 days prior to your rental date for a 100% refund, minus a $20 credit card processing fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations within 14 days of the event. Cancellations must be made via email or telephone. Exception: If we rent your reserved bike to someone else prior to the event, we will issue you a full refund minus a $20 processing fee.

13. What happens if I crash the racebike during my rental day?

In the event of a crash, we will make every effort to get your racebike back into racing condition. However, if a crash is severe enough, it will not be possible to repair the racebike, and you will lose the use of the racebike for the remainder of the day or weekend. Please note that you will still be liable for rental fees.

14. Do you provide refreshments and a place for me to pit?

We will have complimentary beverages and water on ice for our customers at our pit location. You are welcome to pit with us and we are more than happy to assist trackday or New Racers School riders during the weekend. Other pit locations should be available nearby if we do not have enough room.

15. Where do I pickup my racebike?

Pickup your racebike rental at our pit location anytime after 7:00 AM. All bikes must be returned by 5:00 PM.

16. What about tech inspection?

All race motorcycles at the track must be tech inspected each morning by club staff at the tech inspection area. NO EXCEPTIONS! It is the responsibility of each renter to take your racebike through the tech inspection process each morning before going on track. Upon successful inspection, a sticker will be placed on your front fairing allowing you onto the race track.

17. Do I need a transponder?

Yes, all bikes on track will need a transponder for timing and scoring purposes (Saturday school excepted). Transponders are available for purchase at the office for $360 or for rent for $60 per weekend. We also have 1 FREE transponder available to the first person requesting it for a 2-day reservation.

18. Do you have rental leathers?

We have a good selection of new Teknic one piece leathers available for rental. Fees are $50 for one day or $75 for the weekend. Please call us or indicate your need for leathers on the reservation form.
