OMRRA NOVICE LICENSING INFORMATION

Steps to obtaining an OMRRA Novice racing license are below:

1. Fill out and submit the four forms below to the OMRRA office. In return, OMRRA will email you a confirmation packet and your assigned Novice racing number.

• A 2012 New Racer School registration form
• A 2012 OMRRA Membership Application
• A 2012 OMRRA Medical Form
• A 2012 OMRRA Race Pre-entry Form

2. Attend the OMRRA New Rider School (requires approved riding gear and properly prepared motorcycle). Our school provides multiple classroom and on-track sessions, and includes a written test and check-ride before graduation. If you pass all aspects of the school, you will receive an OMRRA Novice License, and will be allowed to participate in your first Novice Race if you choose to.

3. If you do not pass Novice School your paid race entry fees will remain on file with OMRRA until you do receive a passing certificate. You may request an entry fee refund. However, there is no refund for Novice School if you do not pass.

4. Once new OMRRA riders gain their Novice license, they may work toward their Expert license by demonstrating on-track skill by meeting lap time targets and by not crashing over a specified number of races. They are also required to perform volunteer hours for the club, to learn about and assist with the many activities required to successfully run Motorcycle Road Racing in Oregon.

5. Riders with recent Expert level road racing experience (within the last three years) at recognized amateur or professional race organizations may apply to become OMRRA Expert riders without attending the OMRRA New Rider School. Riders with more than a three year lapse in their Expert road race license may petition the OMRRA Board to be allowed to begin racing at OMRRA as an Expert, but may be required to begin with OMRRA as a Novice.
