The dates are April 26, April 27, July 7 and July 19. > > Based on the success of the 2009 KTM Race\_Orange Track Day Experience, the program was expanded to four events for 2010. The events are unique as KTM preps and provide motorcycles for each participant. Models available include the KTM 1190 RC8 R, 1190 RC8, 990 SMR and 690 Duke.

This gives more enthusiasts the opportunity to burn laps on a ‘Ready to Race’ KTM motorcycle at a prestigious race track,” remarked John Hinz, Product Line Manager at KTM North America. > > This is a premium event limited to 75 participants and all skill levels are welcome.

The 60 spots available on each date sold out within a week of the announcement, so we wanted to open it up to more riders this year. With room for 75 participants on each of four dates in 2010, this year should provide an even greater opportunity for riders from across the country,” said Steve Bidlack, director of The Mid-Ohio School. > > KTM has been the official motorcycle of The Mid-Ohio School since 2008.

Not sure about the liability yet, I was sent a link to download a bunch of waivers but the link is not working as of now. May be it is due to the fact that they just announced the program like 5 hours ago…:lol Why do you need new gloves? I am planning on getting a new lid anyway, but I need to get a back protector. ---

You break it you buy it is the cardinal, universal rule in cars so I presume its the same. Edit: Scratch that, its “if it is somehow damaged while you are on it, you pay for it.” ---

The KTM waiver is really for street demo rides, which the rider will be responsible for damage in an accident or abuse. ---
