RStrophyman,
A lot of it depends on who is sponsoring the track day. I think all tracks will require you to drain and flush the cooling system to remove the antifreeze, remove turn signals and mirrors, tape over head and tail lights, disable brake and head lights. At least 80% tread, no oil or cooling leaks, noise below 105 dB. They usually divide the riders into three groups, expert racer, intermediate and novice. The novice group will have the least restrictions on safety gear and bike prep, usually no safety wiring required. Some novice groups will allow two piece zip together suits or one piece textile protection, most if not all intermediate and racer classes require full leathers and back protectors. The sponsor should be able to tell you what the requirements are. There is a US DESMO track day coming up Monday, April 4 at Roebling road near Savannah $125. I'm going with a friend and according to the sponsor there is plenty of room left. Check out
US Desmo web site
The web site has all the forms you will need and explains what safety gear, bike prep etc. you will need.
US Desmo will get you on the track at least 8 times at 20 minutes/group so there isn't much time for anything else. Real nice people and pretty laid back track time.
