Dear Higgy:

Long time fan, first time writer. Or should I say Rider? ahahah. Anyway, I've been riding street for about 3 years now but I'm new to riding the track, and I am wondering Why is there no Beginner or "Relaxed" group at Higgy's anymore? Is Higgy's only for FAST riders?

Thanks,
Richard Butkiss

Well, first of all, thanks for writing in Richard and I must say, Great Question.

Higgy's WELCOMES first time track riders with wide open leather arms. My general rule of thumb is a first time track rider is in Novice/Beginner for at least their first five (5) track days.

Indeed, Intermediate I is the most Novice Group at Higgy’s, and would be mandatory for all riders whom are new to the track. We encourage our NEW riders to wear a high viz vest while on track. The vest indicates Beginner Rider to other riders and that passes should be done around that Beginner with extra care and space. This is how we aim to create a Safe Space in the Intermediate I class for new track participants.

Inter II is intended for Riders with estimated lap times in the lower (faster) half of the days Intermediate participants.

Quick history lesson: Higgy's just never got enough people signing up for “Relaxed” group in the past and so it became a messy group of some Relaxed riders and some (sometimes much) faster riders who booked Relaxed when Inter/Advanced was sold out. That’s not a good situation, so we stopped that.

Higgy's LOVES first time track day riders, and we'll do our best to ensure you have an absolutely fantastic introduction to track day riding. Two of our Control Riders are professional riding instructors, and they take great interest in your safety, enjoyment, and improvement. (They're on track and in the paddock, giving tips or suggestions all day, free!)

Higgy's looks forward to seeing you newbies... On The Track!

GP weekend at COTA. Where’s the watch party at this weekend?

Be that person!

Advanced and Inter is nearly sold out for the season. Relaxed Group has plenty of space!

Fun Fact: I'm not joking when I say Higgy's should run three groups: Intermediate, Intermediate+, and Advanced.... but that's only when I'm speaking about our efforts to make these much-loved events sustainable.

We need a Relaxed or "Novice" Group. It's important to provide an extra-safe, comfortable entry point to new track days riders.

We sincerely WELCOME riders who have never done a track day before, and would like to try it out. Incredibly fun.

As Always,
Higgy and Michaela ✊

Any teams still need tires mounted for Higgy's On The Track - Motorcycle Track Days On Vancouver Island endurance event on Sunday?

Have a few sets of tires for sale if anyone is looking for fresh rubber while roads are dry and the sun is out. These would be good for anyone but are designed for the fast street or track day rider. Pulled my bike off the road early this year so these are up for sale.

From Bridgestone "The Racing Street (RS) is the flagship tire of BATTLAX street application line up, designed for use on public roads. The RS11 is the successor to the RS10, which was standard equipment on numerous flagship motorcycles. It is a version of the highly regarded RACING R11 for track use, which has been tuned for street riding. RACING STREET RS11 takes riding into a higher level with significant improvements in aspects of sports riding, including grip, cornering stability, handling, and contact feel. Feel the evolution for yourself, either on winding roads or on the track."
I have 2 sets available. Bring me your wheels and I can do them for $520 Mount & Balanced.

Team WizeGuyz is registered and is now able to accept donations for the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. We are encouraging donations to be done in Cents Per Lap format. eg. We hope to get at least 340 laps in over the 8 hours so .25c per lap would equate to an $85 donation. All donators will be issued an official tax receipt from the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island upon completion of the event and final tallies are in.
This will be an awesome event and it's in support of a great cause. There will be food trucks, an AC viewing lounge for spectators and is an excellent family-friendly event.
