We’ll be adding our away dates as they become finalized and available.

This does NOT include our Elite members’ rain guarantee or associated perks, but DOES include a credit should an event be cancelled, as with any of our events.

We are only offering a handful of packages and this offer ends March 15th.

“If I could only use one word to describe my first track day experience it would have to be incredible. I attended the Intro to Track Riding program for July 13th and then rode all day on the 14th. Let me tell you, anyone considering doing a track day but you’re nervous about “sorting it all out,” the ITR program is made just for you!” – Ajay

“I’ve told you before, in my opinion Boston Moto runs the best track day of any organization that I have been to and that’s exactly what I tell my friends.  More track time than anywhere else.” – Fred Stearns LRRS Expert #333

..and if you’re still curious what it’s all about, here’s a review of our intro to track riding program!

I’m now officially positive that a BOMO trackday is about the most fun you can have with your pants on. I can’t say I was dragging a knee like [Rich] was… but i ditched my chicken strips which was my goal for my first day out there.

May 15 & 16 saw LRRS riders back in action, and Team Conti added a handful of new riders to their ranks.  Special congratulations to Nate Peck (Novice #508) who cut 3 seconds (in his first practice) off his personal best lap time from the opening round after making the switch to ContiRaceAttack Competition tires,  further improving another 2 seconds to end the weekend with a strong 3rd place (Novice GTO) and 4th place (Novice MWSS, lowering his season’s personal best time to 1m 21s in his final race of the weekend.  

We are looking forward to working with you throughout the season, and a reminder to all racers looking to improve… package your next set of ContiRaceAttacks with a track day and get dialed in!

Over the past 10 years, tire pressure recommendations have strayed away from “cold” pressures (taken before putting tire warmers on) and are nearly exclusively given as “hot” pressures.  A common misnomer is that a “hot” pressure is taken after running tire warmers and before you go out on-track.  

When a tire manufacturer suggests a certain hot pressure, this should be measured as soon as possible, after an on-track session (at least two laps).  Once you get back to your pit, the first thing to do is check your tire pressures and adjust accordingly.

As with any other setting, recording your changes each and every session is highly recommended.  If you take multiple pressure readings (cold, after tire warmers, and after your session), you will be able to predict the loss or gain in pressure from cold to warm (before and after tire warmers), and warm to hot while on the track.  There is no magic number to set pressures at prior to a given track session, as loss or gains in pressures are dependent on the rider, bike, track surface, ambient temperature, track temperature, etc.  Each of these factors can affect the air pressure in your tires and should be recorded so a rider knows what to expect.  Here are 2 scenarios that have drastically different impacts on tire pressures.

1. It’s the first weekend of the year in April, and temps are in the 50′s. 
   
2. It’s the Loudon Classic weekend and temps are touching 90 degrees.

How will your hot pressures be affected?  As noted above, there are several more factors that come into play, but generally speaking at low ambient temps (with subsequently low track temps, although bright sunshine can often rise track temps even on a cold day), a rider is likely to experience a LOSS of tire pressure between when the tires are off the warmers (after being warmed for an hour to over 150 degrees), and when the rider comes off the track.  It’s quite likely that throughout your session the temperature of the tire carcass will in fact, drop as the ambient temps and track temps combined with heat created by deflection in the tire carcass, are not enough to reach the same temperature achieved with your tire warmers.  

Pressure x  Volume = (n)(R) Temperature. 

Since we’re dealing with air in all cases (although some use nitrogen in their tires which is more stable than air), and the volume of air in your tires remains constant (the tire does not expand or contract like a balloon), the only variable affecting pressure is temperature.  A good rule of thumb: for a 10 degree (F) change in temperature = 1 PSI change in pressure within a constant volume (inside your tires).

(If you’re looking for more detailed, technical presentation on pressure and temperature as it relates to tires, click here for a good article to this effect with regard to car racing tires.)

In scenario 2, your tires are at 150+ degrees off the warmers, with an ambient temp in the 90′s the track temperature is likely near 120 degrees.  This means your tires are not likely to cool-down on your way from the pits to the track, and once on-track there is more than enough heat created by track temp and tire deflection to raise the temperature (and subsequently the pressure) in your tires well beyond what is achieved by heating the tires with tire warmers.

Why does this all matter?

A tire must be within a certain pressure and temperature range to achieve optimum grip.  If you as a rider, over the course of a season or multiple seasons,  record things such as ambient temp, cold, warm, and hot tire pressures… you will be able to track and record how many PSI you gain or lose in your tires based on a given set of conditions. 

Next time you’re at the track and refer to your notes, you’ll notice a time in the past that was similar and will have a reference to help you expect what will happen to your tires once you’re on-track, and you will be able to set your tires prior to your session (when warm off the tire warmers) based on an anticipated loss or gain in pressure so you ensure your tires are performing their very best while you’re out on track, turning laps, when it matters most.
