Event requirements
Compact Octane is committed to providing a safe and un-crowded track day experience. Please sign up for the appropriate level. If you have any questions about our groups or questions if your bike is eligible, please email us at info@compactoctane.com.
Compact Octane runs a 3 group format with 20 minute sessions.
A Group (Below 500cc) - The pace in A Group (advanced) is for very skilled track day riders and racers who are very comfortable with a much faster pace. Closer inside and outside passing is allowed. First time track riders are not allowed
B Group (Below 500cc) - The pace in B Group (beginner - intermediate) is our slowest group; inside passing is not allowed. The B Group group is closely monitored by the Compact Octane staff to ensure your safety. All new riders should consider taking part in our complimentary New Track Rider Orientation School. Our comprehensive educational approach along with friendly one-on-one coaching is the key to a successful first track experience.
O Group (Above 500cc) - This is our Open Group; designated for bikes above 500cc. This group is geared towards advanced riders with lots of previous track experience. Closer inside and outside passing is allowed. First time track riders are not allowed.
New Track Rider Orientation School
The cost is FREE with purchase of a B 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 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.
