What to expect
Trackdays & Tracknights
Track Days and Track Nights are our non-competitive track events where both recreational and competitive riders can ride on the track.
We have split the Supermoto and Minimoto classes based on speed so we have the Open category for fast pace, and Clubman for new and novice riders. We also have a Junior class for riders 15 and under. A great part for parents is that you can see the whole track from the pits, so they can ride off, unlike riding dirt or road racing.
We also offer family discounts where possible! Who says the kids should have all the fun!
What happens on a Track Day / Track Night at Wanneroo?
Wanneroo is our home track where we put on the majority of our non-competitive track events.
Schedule
5pm
Riders (and friends and family) generally turn up around 5pm. The GoKarts are using the track till then. The Clerk of Course running the supermoto track night turns up around here and opens up the club shed and gets paperwork ready. Sign on to the MWA (Motorcycling Western Australia) paperwork, just your name, MA license number, expiry and signature. Show your ticket or proof of payment to the person at the Sign On desk. Riders who get there around this time have time to set up their bike and pit, then help sweep the track if needed so it is free of sand, water the dirt (to suppress dust), or move the tyre barriers if we change up the track layout
5:30pm - 9 / 9:30pm
Riders on track. We run 10min sessions for each class. The number of classes depends on who is there. So we might run Supermoto Open and Clubman combined, but have a lot of Minimotos, so they get split into Open and Clubman, and then a Junior & J1 class. Through the night, more Supermoto's might arrive so the CoC might decide to split the class. Sessions rotate continuously until 9-9:30pm when people have usually packed up.
Need help on the night?
Forgotten gear, fuel or just want some pointers, ALL of our members are willing to help.
We are proud to have built a community of riders who help others, on a track night or a race day, you'll see our members helping a fellow competitor no matter how fierce their battles on track.
FREE cross entry between classes at Track Nights (e.g. Supemoto Clubman and Minimoto). Just buy one ticket per rider. Important note: The Clerk of Course may combine compatible groups (e.g. Supermoto Open - Clubman and Minimoto Open-Clubman, and place Posties into a fitting group, pending attendance at and during the event)
DISCOUNTS and OFFICIALS
Discounts available to those who help out in the following roles (you can also ride and fill a role, we'll just have to have another rider not in your class sharing the role with you so you are covered while you are riding) - Clerk of Course (CoC): Ride for FREE- 1st Aid Person: get $20 off that track night just for signing on!
REFUNDS
Tickets are non-transferrable between trackdays.
NEW COMERS
If you do not have a race license and it is your first time riding with us, both the license fee and membership fee will be WAIVED for the night! So its just the track night fee payable online or on the night and we'll sort out the license paperwork on the night too. Just show up with a track-ready bike and gear.
