Tech Inspection

Pre-Registered riders will go straight to Tech Inspection with your motorcycle.

For the racers that opted in for the Premier Tech option, our team will come to you! We do require you to check in with our tech inspection team (separate line) to obtain a glow stick that needs to be hung on your motorcycle handlebar. This will assist our staff in locating you. However, due to the sheer size of the paddock, you may be sent an SMS message to locate you and your pit area so keep those cell phones close by.
