I am thinking of heading to Cayuga (http://www.torontomotorsportspark.co...x.html?p=flash) on Friday [correction Wednesday Sept 1] for a little drag racing.
The weather looks good (dry and cool!!)
Anyone interested? $20 to race, $10 to watch.

NOTE: The original post was for Friday Aug 26, but there is OSCA event there Sat/Sun so Friday will be packed.

What are the Gear requirements at TMP for Drag racing a bike?
Guys. It is a big osca race there this weekend. It will be very busy fri night and you will get not many passes. Just so you know
I've seen people running in jeans and street shoes before. I think it really depends on the night.Quote:

Sorry.....I should have been more specific.
I meant: Do they require Full Leathers when at the track?
I didn't think anyone would try to go track their bike without atleast a textile Jacket and riding pants.
Drag Racing in Jeans?! :tard:
I used to go there a lot with some of my cars and a few times there would be a slippery spot about 1/8th or sooner down the track and the tries would just spin. (My cars weren't even very fast)
I'd hate to hit something like that on a bike. :confused1:
There will be three of us heading down for next Wednesday night....Were in Hamilton anyways...might as well ride another half hour and put in a few runs...see you guys there!!!
did this post not answer your question?Quote:

Yes yes, the previous post answered it. :confused1:
I was just clarifying that I was asking if they required full racing gear....not just street gear.
The answer that they sometimes allow jeans is surprising.
jeans are fine..depending on the tech guy,they usually dont like textile coats...
Tech Guy tonight should be "Ray" -- he's cool on moderate attire (as long as your bike isn't under like 11.00 -- Tell Ray - "the Doctor" says hi .......he knows me....Quote:
