Rev those bikes people!

It’s Track Day once again at the Batangas Racing Circuit on August 23, 2009, and fulfill your need for speed…

Organized by the National Racing Association and presented by Bridgestone Tires, Track Days allow your inner Rossi or Stoner come to life — but mind you, keep it real, too.  Know your skill level and stick to it.

Registration fees are Php950 for big bikes, while its Php500 for small bikes, inclusive of lunch and drink.

Bikers love Track Days because it let’s them ride fast around a circuit, yet feel safe and have lots of fun with other riders. Whether you’re a novice, experienced, or expert Track Day participant, everyone feels right at home. Riders are grouped into skill levels, so there’s no pressure, no anxiety, no stress!

Make sure, too, that before coming to the track, you’ve got your gear all nice-smelling and ready. The NRA usually requires full leathers (1 or 2 piece zip-together), or a textile equivalent with complete armor (and when we say complete we mean back, shoulders, elbows, knees. Some even have hip armor!), full-face helmet (sorry, no half, open face, or modular helmets), full-fingered leather gloves, and leather boots.

Fuel can be purchased at the track for your convenience, but its preferable you’ve got your gas tank all good and full (you wouldn’t want your bike to sputter in the middle of a session, in front of your fine, macho club mates, would you?) While we’re at it, you might as well check your tires, pressure, oil, and all that other stuff you check on your bike before an honest to goodness ride around the track.

And what makes NRA Track Days really great is that we’ve got a team of trained professional ride marshals to guide participants around the track, medical and ambulance stand-by’s, trained track marshals, and a competent staff to make your track day experience worry-free.

We’ve also got fun races going on in the afternoon (we told you, riders in NRA Track Days have lots of fun!), and participants get to win prizes (not cash, but something really cool!  We promise!)

As an added treat, TradeTech Marketing will be there, displaying, as well as selling the latest in textile riding jackets — with built-in air bags! Go check them out!

Sponsors include Teknic, AeroMed Ambulance Transport, and Easy Trailer, with media partners Inside Racing, Mo2rista, and www.motorcyclephilippines.com.
