Cal-Sportbike TrackXperience Launches Tracstar Challenge, 2006 Schedule The Tracstar Challenge is a skills-based rider certification and awards program which focuses on developing both physical and mental bike control skills and safety habits. It is inspired by proven sports training programs that have worked well for decades around the globe. Oliver Chami, former AMA 250GP racer and program creator, says “With Tracstar, riders receive formal training and earn recognition for demonstrated proficiency, which should result in a lower future crash risk in any environment”. Program co-developer Todd Robinson of Cal-Sportbike TrackXperience says, “There is simply too much focus on pushing for fast laps at the expense of being a smooth or safe rider. In fact our most successful students have proven that by focusing on smoothness and control they are able to lower their lap times considerably”. To support the implementation of the Tracstar program, Cal-Sportbike events are being restructured to accommodate both the formal schooling element, as well as the open format/free riding options at all 2006 dates. 2006 Track Event and School Schedule 3/28 (Tue) – Thunderhill Park 4/29 (Sat) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 4/30 (Sun) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 5/13 (Sat) – Buttonwillow Raceway Park 5/14 (Sun) – Buttonwillow Raceway Park 5/23 (Tue) – Willow Springs (Road Course) 6/20 (Tue) – Thunderhill Park 6/24 (Sat) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 6/25 (Sun) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 7/3 (Holiday Mon) – Willow Springs (Road Course) 8/13 (Sun) – Willow Springs (Road Course) 9/4 (Labor Day Mon) – Willow Springs (Road Course) 9/25 (Mon) – Thunderhill Park 10/16 (Mon) – Thunderhill Park 10/21 (Sat) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 10/22 (Sun) – Spring Mountain (Pahrump) 11/4 (Sat) – Reno-Fernley Full Course 11/5 (Sun) – Reno-Fernley Technical Course More information on the Tracstar Challenge Program can be found online at ~http://www.trackXperience.com~ or by calling (800) 930-8520.
