First mission track days for 2008
No Speeding Tickets, No Cars….at Track Daze with West Coast Superbike School
Friday, April 25th, at Mission Raceway
Includes Street and Racer Clinics
We are having our fiirst Track Daze and Clinics of 2008 on Friday, April 25th, at the newly configured and much safer Mission Raceway. We are very excited about the new, quicker and safer layout and the removal of the ‘kink’ which should add to the already fun track. We are also pumped about the opportunity to use 20 lengths of airfence, thanks to the WMRC, to further improve the safety of the track.
This day is open to both street riders and racers so come on out and carve some turns. This will be a fun and safe day and includes totally non competitive groups where people can ride at whatever pace they feel comfortable at. For riders without a race license the cost is $165.00. Cost for licensed racers is $130.00. If not registered 5 days before the event add $25.
All types of motorcycles including Motards are welcome to join the fun.
All bikes must be in a good state of repair with decent tires. We are saddled with a noise issue so we require all bikes to either have a stock exhaust system, or, we may need to install a noise damping plug (cost is $25) in any loud aftermarket exhaust systems. In most cases there is no problem with aftermarket exhausts and only the loudest need to be quieted down.
Minimum gear requirements are leathers or heavier type textiles with a newer full face helmet(street) and decent motorcycle gloves and boots.

West Coast Superbike School
Motorcycle Maintence 101
From PRS’s own Bernie Ryan:
I offer a pleasant, relaxed 3-4 hour evening, where I show you what you should and need to know about maintaining your modern motorcycle. All the questions you were too afraid or embarrassed to ask the service manager! The theory is, for only $45, all I have to show you are 5 or 6 things that you didn’t know previously, and the rest of the course is a bonus.
Some of what we will cover:
- Basic maintenance of your tires, chain and sprockets, battery, cables, carburetors, etc.
- Adjustment of drive chain, cables, levers, suspension and foot controls.
- How to ‘boost’ a battery safely, change bulbs, check your oil, and change your oil, etc.
- How to store your bike to avoid the springtime nightmare. And much more.
The cost is only $45. The courses are usually held Saturday daytime and Sunday daytime, in the PRS shop. There is also a Ladies only course available if demand warrants.
If you are interested, or have some questions, please email me at prsmechanic@hotmail.com to reserve a seat.
p.s you don’t need a bike, be an expert with a wrench, and there’s no test!
Private lessons and groups can be arranged, just ask!
Thanks, and ride safe. Bernie
