Helmets will be checked at registration – please have the certification sticker inside ready to show at registration. A helmet sticker of the appropriate class colour will be affixed to the left side of the chin bar of the helmet upon inspection. This sticker is required before being allowed on track.
Riding gear will be checked at pregrid as you queue for your ride group session.

Riders with more than one motorcycle must obtain additional riding gear/tech inspection card (with their membership number) at riding gear inspection. They must present their card for each bike registered in their name.
