Sound Monitoring: Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and Infineon have noise restrictions.
Laguna Seca (92dB): Stock exhausts are required. No exceptions!
Aftermarket pipes are not allowed at our Laguna trackdays due to strict noise limitations. Although there is no guarantee even a stock bike will pass sound, it is rare for bikes with aftermarket exhausts to pass. Laguna enforces 92dB regardless of the originality of a DOT-approved bike. A few stock bikes have been cited in the past but the great majority don’t have problems. Still, the onus to pass the sound testing every lap is on the rider and we are unable to tell you in advance whether your bike will pass.
Every bike needs a two or three digit number (on the front and right side) six inches tall. Pick one at random; we'll deal with any duplications at the track. Duct tape is fine. You can do this in advance or at the track.
Infineon Raceway and Thunderhill (103dB): Tolerance for noise should not be a problem unless your exhaust system is defective. Bikes don't need numbers.
Skill Levels: Except for schools, all riders must have track experience. Email us or phone 650-949-5609 for exceptions for experienced, mature street riders.

Novice schools are for experienced street riders and moderately experienced track riders (B- and B+) looking for significant personal instruction in a school format. They are focused on fundamental skills -- cornering, lines, body position, use of reference points, etc. No track experience is required. Click here for more information.
Intermediate schools are for non-novice, A and B+ group riders. Students will be placed in one of two groups (faster intermediate or slower intermediate). The curriculum is advanced and the focus is on becoming a faster, safer, more capable rider.
Racing schools are for club racers, those about to become racers, or non-racers wanting to learn competitive racetrack skills. A large staff of AFM experts and K@TT instructors teach. The focus is on racing skills and technique. Only two groups are run: A and B+
