Hottrax where possible run the day according to the following schedule. Please note that some local restrictions may affect what follows.
7:15- Arrival on circuit.
7:30 - Signing on. The signing on procedure involves the completion of an indemnity form (provided on day), examination of Driving or ACU license (depending on the type of event we are running that day), and collection of appropriate wrist band for your rider group (Novice, Intermediate or Advanced etc).
8:30 - Safety Briefing. This briefing is mandatory to all riders that attend any of our days. Any rider who does not attend the briefing will NOT be allowed to partake in the day's events. A typical briefing will cover the following points; a. Hottrax Introduction b. Circuit layout and track knowledge (pit entry & Exit, finding your own Braking distances etc.) c. Format of the day. Explanation of groups, session times, lunch, warm-up laps etc. d. Instruction e. On and off track safety (what and what not to do in the event of an accident, paddock rules etc.) f. Flag descriptions and meanings g. Services and Facilities. Hottrax offer 1 to 1 tuition, setup advice for bikes, photography, tyre changing and supply, bike hire
From 2004 onwards we will be operating a 'Briefing Card' system and/or wristband system. After you have attended the briefing you will be given a briefing card or wrist band to show that you have attended. You must hand this card in to the pit lane co-ordinator, or you must show your wrist band, as you line up for your first session. If you do not have a briefing card or wrist band you will not be allowed on track.
9:00 - Daily sessions usually commence starting with Advanced,Intermediate and then Novice rotating on 20 minute sessions.
9.45 - Second briefing for late arrivals
13:00 - Lunch
14:00 - Recommence sessions with Advanced,Intermediate and then Novice rotating on 20 minute sessions.
17:00 - Finish and have a safe journey home
Points to Note:-
i. Each session is usually allotted 20 minutes. In the unlikely event of an accident that results in the session being stopped, the session will NOT be extended to allow for any stoppage time incurred. If the session is able to recommence with 8 minutes or more still remaining of the current session, then the current group will continue. If less than 8 minutes remains of the current session, then it will be cancelled and the next group will start their session. The reason for this is that if only 8 minutes or less remain then you will lose approximately 5 mins warming your tyres back up to operating temperature, by which time the session will have virtually ended.
ii. Hottrax always pay for the use of two ambulances at each event. If both ambulances are required to take riders to hospital, then the day will be suspended until such time as at least one ambulance has returned. Under no circumstances will any circuit allow riders on track with insufficient medical services (e.g. at least one ambulance).
iii. Hottrax operate a strict warm up lap procedure. The first session for each group at the start of the day will consist of a number of warm up/sighting laps. Advanced - 1 laps, Intermediate - 1 laps, Novice - 2 laps. All subsequent sessions will be subject to one warm up lap at the beginning of each session. During all warm up laps there is a strict no overtaking rule. If this is not adhered to then the offending rider will be warned and then sent home.
iv. In the event of an accident resulting in you being unable to partake in the rest of the day's sessions, NO refunds will be given.
v. Fuel is generally not available on circuit. This will be clarified at the briefing.
vi. When on circuit, we recommend that all lights, indicators, mirrors are covered with gaffer/duct tape. This is not compulsery
vii. In the event of an accident occurring on the circuit, it is imperative that you do NOT stop to try and assist the rider. Not only are you risking yourself, but you are seriously jeopardizing the safety off all emergency personnel who will attend as well as other riders still on the circuit.
viii. When in the holding area awaiting your session to start, please ensure that your wrist band is available for inspection by Hottrax/Circuit staff. In doing this you avoid unnecessary delay.
viiii. At the end of the day, please ensure that you take home all your personal belongings. Also please ensure that you clear up any rubbish that belongs to you and that you leave the circuit in a condition that you expect to find it in.
x. Hottrax are committed to providing quality track days. If you have any comments/ suggestions, good or bad relating to any of our days, please feel free to find a member of the management team and we will be happy to listen to your views.
We are here to ensure that you have a fun and safe track day!
