New Track Rider Orientation School
The cost is FREE with purchase of a B or O Group entry. The average class size is between 5-15 riders. We try to keep the rider to instructor ratio around 3-1. We will provide a safe, friendly environment where you can hone your riding skills and become a better, safer rider.
Each classroom session is about 20 minutes long and allows riders the opportunity to ask questions and talk with their track coaches between the on track sessions. By the end of the day our school riders typically show significant improvement in their riding skill and really step up their track speeds!
New Racer Orientation
Compact Octane is now offering a FREE New Racer Orientation! In this program we will go over everything you need to know to get into club racing. We have partnered up CRA (California Roadrace Association) to offer a diverse and detailed program that will get you certified and ready to race. This program will consist of 4 classroom sessions in between your normal O+ Group riding session, and will end with a short; non competitive 3 lap simulation race. Once completed you will be given a certification to apply for your race license.
