What is a Practice Day?
We hire the track the day before our race meetings so competitors can sort out their bike and get some extra practice. Left over spaces are made available to non-competitors.
Note: this day is run the same as a Public Ride Day and you can use any bike and equipment that meets those rules. Your bike does not have to be fully race prepared.
Do you have to Book?
All riders can book through the following links.
Places may be limited in some Groups so it is advisable to book in advance. And if you just turn up at the track hoping for a vacancy, you will have to pay an extra $25.
Do you need a Track Licence?
You must have a current Competition or Recreation Licence issued by Motorcycling Australia . Day licences are available via Ridernet. Please note: To purchase a licence Ridernet must have a record of you being an approved financial member of a road race club. Phoenix MCC will have someone on hand to approve new members in Ridernet.
Which Group will I be in?
Groups are based on speed and experience and run in rotating 15-20 minute sessions. It is very important that you choose the correct group for your own safety and those around you. However, groups are flexible, so if you are found to be in the wrong group, or riding in a dangerous manner, we will take appropriate action.
Group | Experience | Passing |
YELLOW: |
BEGINNER | OUTSIDE ONLY |
GREEN: | INTERMEDIATE (D grade) | OUTSIDE ONLY |
BLUE: | ADVANCED (C grade) | ANYWHERE |
RED: | EXPERT (A/B grade) | ANYWHERE |
Garages and Fuel:
THE BEND INTERNATIONAL:
A shared space in a Pit Lane Garage for ONE BIKE is included in your booking fee. Fuel is available from the On The Run servo near the track.
THE BEND EAST:
No garages/carports are provided so pits will be organised in the car park at no cost. Power will also not be provided so bring a generator and some shade. Gazebos will require weights as it can get rather windy. Fuel is available from the On The Run servo near the track.
MALLALA:
Pit garages are purchased via the link above and we do not control them. In 2021, the cost was $30/day and they accept credit cards. Avgas, E85 and 98 fuel can be bought at the self serve (credit card) bowser near scrutineering. Note: if you don’t want to book a garage, the grassed area at the rear of the Pits can be used without charge. BYO shade/power.
