The motorcycle racing season is underway! World Superbike, MotoGP, and here in the USA MotoAmerica and King of the Baggers. If you have never been to a race this year might be the year you go to your first.
Below are some commonsense tips to make sure you have a good time:
- Plan ahead: Check the race schedule and plan your trip accordingly. Make sure you have all the necessary tickets, passes, and documents.
- Dress appropriately: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that are suitable for the weather. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.
- Stay hydrated: Bring plenty of water and other non-alcoholic beverages to stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Bring earplugs: Motorcycle races can be loud, so it’s a good idea to bring earplugs to protect your hearing.
- Pack snacks: Bring some snacks and food to keep your energy levels up during the race. BUT, the track makes it money on their consessions please help them out.
- Get there early: Arrive early to find a good spot to watch the race and avoid traffic. Most tracks park the motorcycles in a motorcycle only area so watch for signs/directions.
- Be respectful: Be respectful of other fans, the riders, and the track. Follow the rules and regulations of the event.
- Take photos: Capture the excitement of the race by taking photos and videos. But remember to be mindful of other fans and not to obstruct their view.
- Enjoy the experience: Finally, relax and enjoy the experience. Motorcycle races are thrilling events that offer a unique opportunity to witness the skill and bravery of the riders. MotoAmerica has a fan walk of pit road at most races. This will give you an opportunity to meet the racers and see the bikes.
I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Share photos on social media and promote motorcycle racing.
GREAT idea!!!!
I will be a track marshal for the 6th time at COTA for the upcoming MotoGP/KOB races. I take photos and share trying to communicate the excitement of the races. The more promotion the better.
WOW… very cool. Want to write a guest post on what it takes to be a marshal at a race?
Very possibly. I have a blog myself, but after the races I could write something up for you.
What would be the process if I wanted to share my guest post on my blog also? Is that allowed?
That would be no problem…. cross pollination!
After the races I will write something up. I sent you a FB message.
After the races drop me a note…. warren.s.massey@gmail
Thanks. Will do.
