That's right, Ride Smart will be at Circuit of The Americas

June 1 and 2, 2013

Sign up begins December 20, 2012

$460

per DAY!

We anticipate registration will go quick.
We have arranged a slightly different format to accommodate demand for Circuits of The Americas in that
we will be offering two Level 2 groups, as traditionally Level 2 fills the quickest. Groups are capped low
for your enjoyment on the 3.4 mile, 20 turn track.

4 Groups
Level 1
Level 2A
Level 2B
Level 3

In order to make sure that everyone receives the same time on track as a normal Ride Smart trackday, you will be running
20 minute sessions, starting at 8:00am and going until 6:30pm with a lunch break.

Saturday, June 1st will also feature our Advanced Riders Course in Level 3.
In addition to the bike cam footage, critique and advanced riding instruction
there will be an emphasis on "Line Building Techniques" during this class.

We are also offering a 50/50 registration.
Put down 50% now and we'll hold your spot, you can pay the remainder by February 25, 2013 (plus a $20 service fee).

Registration opens December 20, 2012 at 12:01 am.

Do you get a racing license with this. I'd like to ride in the MotoGP at this track next year and I bet you need a special license. I hope this covers it.

Money is the only thing you need to ride.....

$460 for a track day?

[rc racer]

Yes, COTA is a world class facility and the price reflects that. The track alone costs the track day provider $50,000! Then they need corner workers, instructors and paramedics. Plus try to turn a profit.

the license is free but the requirements are a team of paddock girls, custom leathers with your name on the back, and the price-tag on your bike needs to be 6 figures at least

Has to be a bucket list kinda item for me to ride on that racetrack, world class GP track in the state I grew up in. Don't think I can pull it off this coming season but shooting for 2014 maybe.

Do you think a 250 can make it up that hill?

[Jono]

Not a chance.

[cuong-nutz]

holy crap, they're almost sold out.

I was about to grab a spot before a little voice in my head said, "What a waste if I was not able to fully "ride" the track like a pro." It would be like seeing a cruiser in the IOM TT - just doesn't belong.

Decided to wait for a couple of more trackdays and faster lap times before I can even feel "right" about being on that surface. But I am sure most people could care less.

I think it would be fun to ride with any SPORT bike including ninjettes

Cruisers ... ummm no

[austexjg]

Not happening after all.....

COTA Cancellation Statement - December 22, 2012

Ride Smart regrets to announce that Circuit of The Americas has cancelled all their scheduled trackdays in 2013. Circuit of The Americas stated that they were taking their business in a "different direction" and would not be renting to trackday organizations in 2013. This includes the scheduled trackday that Ride Smart announced for June 1 and 2, 2013 and had just begun accepting registrations.
