AzTrackDay.com Track Time - Policies
Payments
& Refunds
AzTrackDay.com
accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Cash. We accept credit card
payment via the internet on this website and on our 24 hour
telephone registration. When you have paid by credit card,
there is a 4% chargeback if you request a refund.
Full
refunds will be given only if cancellation is made 32 days
in advance. This is based on a very simple formula, namely
that we must prepay some of our events 30 days in advance.
Cancellations after 31 days will be be granted credit for
another track date, with exceptions to this rule reviewed on
a case-by-case basis. No shows are NOT granted a
refund. Cancellations made under 48 hours prior to
an event are considered a no-show and are not refunded.
All
AzTrackDay.com venues have a "rain-or-shine
policy" and if you do not wish to ride in the rain, you
may accept a rain-check for 25% off a future event of equal
or lesser value. AzTrackDay.com will call rain days, you
must be present to receive a voucher.

- No

(i.e. prescription medication, etc)
- Any

6 months. If the substance is a narcotic or other
dangerous drug, the rider will be permanently barred
from any future track events with AzTrackDay.com.
- Any

interferes with the regular operation of an event will

Risk
Awareness (Hey, this isn't bowling...)
This
is the disclosure statement that you will be expected to
sign prior to participating in one of our track events:
AzTrackDay.com,
its associates, sponsors, and the local facility cannot
assume any responsibility for any aspect of my safety and
that participating in any motorcycle track events, I do so
voluntarily on my own assessment of my ability, the course,
conditions, and facilities, assuming all risk whatsoever. I
hereby release and hold AzTrackDay.com, its associates and
sponsors harmless for any injury or loss to my person or
property, which may result. I understand that this is an
inherently dangerous and life-risking activity and that I
cannot hold AzTrackDay.com, its associates, sponsors, the
local facility or person or any other person responsible for
any injury or death resulting to myself or my property at
any such events. Decisions made by AzTrackDay.com,
associates, and sponsors will be final.
Crash
Policy (It happens to the best of us...)
AzTrackDay.com
must re-tech a crashed bike prior to it's return to the
racetrack. If you re-enter the track without re-teching
your bike, you will be asked to load up your equipment and
leave the facility. This is for the safety of everyone.
All
riders who have a crash must be evaluated by the on-site
paramedic staff. If they determine you should not proceed
with the day, their decision is final. If the paramedic
staff determines you may physically return to riding, AzTrackDay.com
STILL must approve your return to riding based on criteria
which includes the manner of your crash, as well as the
condition of your gear. This decision is made on a
case-by-case basis. There is no appeal to this policy.
The
bottom line...ride within your limits. If you don't know
your limits, slow down.
Privacy
Policy (No, we don't sell your information to the
highest bidder...)
Here's the
straight answer. We have been around the internet for a long
time, and are sick and tired of having our information sold,
given away to "third party" partners, getting
"special offers", etc. As such, we are fanatical
about security and the privacy of our customer's personal
information, from using encrypted transmission methods in
the payment areas to our commitment to keep your information
safe and private. Period.
Rider
Groups (No, it's not a free-for-all like WWF)
Beginner
GROUP: Designed for street riders and first-time or nervous
track riders. All riders in this group MUST attend the
"New Riders Meeting" with an introduction to track
safety rules prior to the first track session. This
group recieves class room and on-track instruction,
including critiquing of on-track skills. Instructors will
accompany riders on all track sessions. Your instructor will
supervise all passing. You should be learning how to enter
and exit the track safely, and use of the flags and their
meanings. Learn proper use of the throttle, braking, gear
changes and selection as well as basic cornering techniques
and body positioning. The pace is slow and easy. Everyone
rides at his or her own pace with an emphasis on fun and
learning.
INTERMEDIATE
GROUP: This group is for people with enough track time that
they are comfortable at an accelerated riding pace up to the
beginning racer. Riders in this group will probably want to
focus heavily on body position, setting up for turns on the
racing line, and advanced throttle/braking control.
Instructors will be available upon request whenever
possible. Safe passing is permitted with at least 5 feet
space cushion. The track tempo is intermediate to fast. No
licensed racers permitted in this group unless cleared by AzTrackDay.com
Staff. Riders in this group MUST wear a back protector.
ADVANCED
GROUP: Intended for the club racer or very accomplished
track rider. You will gain valuable track time preparing for
your next race, or just enjoy further refinement of your
skills. The pace very fast and there are no restrictions on
SAFE passing. Riders in this group must be comfortable
passing and being passed in very close proximity to other
riders and at high speeds. Riders not keeping the pace
and/or riding erratic lines will be policed out and returned
to the Intermediate Group. Again, riders in this group MUST
wear a back protector.

two-piece Aerostich/Textile/Cordura/Balistic type Touring and Sport suites are

1. Your

crash.

signals on, please tape them over as well.
3. Make sure
