Trivial Questions.

Post by Noidly1 »

Having been out for 12 years, just wondering;;

1- When were track days implemented? locally, nationally and globally?

2- When were Control Riders implemented? locally, nationally and globally?

Any other changes?

Thanks.

Track days orgs for bikes seemed to have popped up around 2000-2001.

I was doing track days at Taladega GP in the late 80's early 90's.

i went racing in the mid 90's simply because there was no other way to get on a race track,

now nobody races and they just become track day heros
