New Race School
The NRS is a one-day class that will be offered through AFM designated providers. You use your own
race-prepared motorcycle and all your own racing gear. You may take the school on any bike as long
as it is fully race-prepped, meets the AFM's safety requirements and it passes Tech inspection.
If you pass the NRS, you may begin racing the next day.
AFM approved providers are:
Fees are determined by the provider.
Refer to the AFM rule book 8.0-8.5 for equipment requirements of all motorlcycles.
The NRS covers:
- Classroom
- racing lines
- braking & cornering theories
- AFM rules
- practices & race day procedures
- warning flags
- safety equipment
- Riding Sessions
- some riding is supervised or observed, some is open practice
- Written test
You must pass the school to be able to enter AFM races if you have no roadracing experience with other clubs.
Does going through the Superbike School, STAR, dP School, CLASS, etc. qualify me to race?
No, you still have to pass AFM approved NRS. The non- approved schools are great for giving you track
experience, but the AFM NRS is focused on preparing you to compete in real AFM races, including teaching
you about safety flags, bike prep, mental & physical prep, what to expect and do while racing with other
people, AFM logistics, etc. Also, the AFM must carefully evaluate students for on-track safety and competency.
This involves both classroom and riding sessions. BUT…before going racing, we do recommend getting lots of
track time and track experience at track days or track schools.
