Not so much red tape just making sure that everyone that races is safe and understand the etiquette and rules of track racing etc etc..Its about all the other riders around you, so letting unexperienced track riders ride with experienced riders is a recipe for crashes etc and we do our best to avoid it.
To race in any races you need a BC licence either a full race one or a day licence.
HACC is the only privately owned track in the UK so its only "really" available to fee paying members. To get around this we (i) run a session on Thursdays which is open to all levels of riders including "newbies" and i would suggest you do a few of these to not only learn the ropes but also to get in shape to race. You can hire bikes on the night (Thurs) and then start getting into it that way.
Just come down and ask for me..easy!
