Eagles Canyon Raceway was created for motorsports enthusiasts – to allow members and their guests to practice their skills, play with their friends, or entertain business associates with a great track experience, at their own pace and on their own schedule.

• New members: Required to attend a Driver/Rider Orientation Seminar. This will allow each new member to learn and understand all the Rules and Regulations provided by the Club and to familiarize each member with the proper driver/rider education
• Waivers: All drivers/riders and passengers must sign a track release waiver prior to engaging in any track related activities.
• Track Access: No one is to access the track area until permission is granted by the ECR Grid Marshal. Please contact the track for the time of the first session of the day.
• Run Groups: Eagles Canyon Raceway personnel or the Grid Marshal will determine the run groups for each day – a list will be available at the clubhouse.
• Track direction: The Normal track direction is “counter-clockwise” (Turn right as you access the track). On select days ECR will schedule the track to be run clockwise – these days will be published in the track calendar and signage will clearly indicate the change in direction.
• Speed limit is 15 mph on all roads and paddocks.

Off track / Dropping of Wheels / Spins

• Motorcycle Off Track or Two Wheels off: If a rider exits the paved surface or driver drops two (2) wheels off the edge of the track the driver must finish off the lap at a “cool down” pace and return to the pit/paddock area. Grid Marshal, along with driver, will inspect the vehicle for damage and determine if the bike/car is in a condition to return to the track.
• Motorcycle Crash or Four Wheels Off: If rider crashes (handlebar touches the ground) or a driver drops all four (4) wheels off track and / or spins they are required to safely return to the track surface and continue at a “cool down” pace to the pits / paddock area to meet with Grid Marshal. Motorcycles must be safety inspected, as well as helmet, gloves and leathers.  If a helmet shows any signs of a ground touch, the rider’s day is done.
• On Track Spins: For any spins that occur on the track (even if you do not leave the track surface) the driver is required to use caution while remaining aware of other vehicles and return to pits / paddock area to meet with the Grid Marshal.
• Three times – you’re out: Any rider crashing more than once or off track more than three (3) times, or any driver who drops two (2) or more wheels or spins, three (3) times in any one day will be deemed an “aggressive rider/driver,” and accordingly, will be asked to park their vehicle and will not be allowed to drive/ride for the rest of the day.
• Mechanical Failures: If a rider/driver has a mechanical failure such as engine problems, oil/transmission/fuel leaks etc. they are required to pull off of the track surface in a safe area at their earliest convenience. Fluid leaks for motorcycles are of the highest safety concern and should be prevented when possible by getting safely off-track and always reported to the Grid Marshall.
• If you are stuck – stay in your car or with your bike: A motorcycle rider should never remove personal safety equipment (helmet, leathers) while on circuit, even if off track. If a driver goes off track and is unable to come back onto the track they are to remain in their safety belts. ALWAYS STAY IN THE CAR WITH YOUR SAFETY BELTS SECURED. The only exception to this rule is if you see smoke or believe the car is on fire.

Driver/Rider Conduct

• Inspect your vehicle: Start the day with a vehicle inspection to be sure it is in the proper operating condition.
• Track Access: Never enter the track without the authorization of the Grid Marshal. The Grid Marshal will find an open spot on the track to allow you to enter safely, but you should always be very mindful of oncoming vehicles when you drive from pit onto the track.
• Always Warm Up: Each time entering the track the rider/driver should start with a “warm up” lap(s). This will allow time to get a feel for track conditions, the vehicle, i.e. brake pedal pressure, handling characteristics, etc. This time will also allow the rider/driver to build up tire temperatures.
• Always Cool Down: At the end of each session or the lap prior to exiting the track the rider/driver should start a “cool down” lap. This is for all of the vehicles’ components to cool off as much as possible before being parked in the paddock. It is not good for a vehicle to exit the track with high temperatures. And, take a couple of deep breaths to calm down as you come off track.
• Signal clearly when exiting track: Each time a driver exits the track for any reason they should signal to all other drivers their intention with their arm clearly out the window (production car,) above the roll bar (race car), or holding their arm up. Motorcycle riders should always signal any off-pace activity with a left hand held high in the air.

Safety Equipment

• Helmets Required: All drivers and passengers are required to use a Snell approved helmet. SA2000 or later will be permitted. The helmet must have the Eagles Canyon helmet approval sticker before entering the track to drive.
• Race suits required for Race cars: An SFI rated racing suit is required for all drivers using race cars.
• Race Suits and flame-retardant garments recommended for all drivers: An SFI rated racing suit is recommended for production car drivers. You should wear cotton or nomex undergarments, not polyester based garments.
• Closed-toe shoes are required: Racing shoes recommended.
• Roll bars: Open cockpit cars including convertibles must have a roll bar or roll bar system installed.
• Fire extinguisher: It is further recommended that all vehicles have a fire extinguisher securely mounted.
• Motorcycle riders: Snell approved, full-face, non-modular motorcycle helmet with no exterior shell or interior polystyrene damage less than 5 years old from date of manufacture. Gauntlet-style gloves and motorcycle-specific boots including full coverage of the ankle.  A one or two-piece leather suit, with two-piece garments ideally zipping together.  Some textile suits (Kevlar) may be acceptable but should be approved before use.

Passing Rules

• Passing Zones: Passing is permitted in designated areas (see Map) with a point-by from the driver.
• Point-by: All members are required to monitor their mirrors and as faster cars approach, they are to stay on line and clearly point the passing car by. Please be courteous.
• Passing car is responsible: is It is the responsibility of the passing car to make a safe and clean pass and the pass must be completed by the entry of the approaching corner.
• Passing is not allowed in any corners
• Motorcycles may pass at any point on track provided the pass is sportsman-like and with a 6-ft margin. Aggressive passes, especially in the club-pace group, will result in losing riding privileges.  Passing is the responsibility of the passing rider to make clean and safe.  Motorcycle riders should never look backwards or make any attempt to accommodate a faster rider.  Hold your line and ride predictably, always looking forward.
