Are you ready to race?

General

Knowing if you are ready to join us on track involves a number of factors

On Track Experience

On Track Experience – Have you been on the big track? Do you feel comfortable being passed? Can you maintain consistent, predictable lines? Being ready to race is more about consistency and being predictable then speed. We focus on safety first; the speed will come with experience. Feel free to contact our New Rider Instructors via Coach@CRA-MN.com if you have more questions.

Bike Preparation

Showing up at the track with your bike properly safety wired and ready to race is half the battle. See the CRA Rulebook for detailed information, but essentially if it has fluid behind it it has to be wired. Contact Tech@CRA-MN.com for detailed questions.
