Riders,
SRC had a great 2025, coaching more days and hosting more events than we’ve ever done before. The schedule for 2026 is already packed, with plans to incrementally increase over 2025. That means more opportunities for coaching, more opportunities to ride, and additional new products in different formats with new riding experiences. This is going to be a bit of a longer newsletter as a result. Let’s get to it!
SRC & ARC Program updates
The SRC family is growing, and there’s now three brands to talk about! We will knock out SRC first, but there’s awesome news regarding our AdventureRiderCoaching and new SportRiderRacing brands, too!
SRC Skills & Drills returns for 2026 on Easter Monday, April 6, and it’s better than ever! We added an additional drill down the back straight, have all new supporting video curriculum, and refined day operations to make each section of the day run smoother with more practice. We will maintain the same low volume rider counts at just 20 riders per group.
Learn more about Skills & Drills or go ahead and sign up here starting on Jan 1, 2026.
The SRC Season begins on Friday February 27, with dates each month in our usual mix of 2-on-1 and 1-on-1 coaching formats. Available dates will be listed on the SRC TrackRabbit Registration Portal over the coming weeks. Registration opens January 1.
There’s two Perfect Day events in 2026, on Monday August 3 and our Columbus Day event Monday October 12. There’s no plans to change the format: we limit each group to just 20 riders, the day to just 3 groups, offer better instruction and uncongested track time. The Perfect Day is nothing like an ordinary public track day – it’s our vision of what a great day at the track should be.
AdventureRiderCoaching is in soft-launch mode! The program launch required more time than expected with aspects of obstacle course, facility and grounds prep all taking more time than we originally thought! So much has been done and there’s already plenty of tools in place to get dirty including rocky terrain, climbs, slides and technical challenges. So, we are taking riders on a limited basis and running very small (1-2 riders) groups as we continue to build the program.
If you’ve been waiting, you can request a date here and we will set dates for you, schedule and weather conditions permitting, of course.
SportRiderRacing
The SportRiderRacing brand launches in 2026 with three programs – all designed to get new riders their first taste of competition while appealing to the veteran racer with real competition.
What’s different about SportRiderRacing? It’s less intimidating, less expensive and requires less commitment to find out if competition is a part of how you want to spend your time riding. It’s the perfect steppingstone.
First, there’s the new endurance racing series! This 3-round endurance series has both single-bike team endurance and individual bike relay-style racing on lightweight machines under 60 horsepower. So, grab your Ninja 400/500, R3, or another lightweight bike and come race! The first race is Saturday, April 4 – get your machines ready! Find out more by digging into the rulebook!
Second, we are running a 2-round time trial series. Each day is structured around on-track sessions run in a qualifying-style program, complete with a leaderboard challenging riders to improve lap times each session. Trackside video review and coaching is available to accelerate rider improvement, and an introductory focus on competitive techniques offers riders new to competition style events a welcoming first taste of competitive riding.
Finally, we are continuing with our CMRA Race Licensing program – still the best way to get your CMRA license and perfect for new racers planning a first season of sanctioned road racing. This class meets CMRA requirements for qualifying candidate riders to apply for the Provisional Novice status. Learn race procedures, club rules, and some candid coaching on your start in this great sport! Our first licensing class is Sunday March 15 with additional dates throughout the racing season.
And, if not entirely obvious in all the links in this newsletter we have a new website. While today it’s mostly an update and refresh from our old platform, it offers extensibility and capabilities far beyond what the old platform could provide. Throughout 2026 more capabilities, content and benefits will be delivered through our new web presence.
Rentals & Service
Don’t forget about bike prep and year-end service! For service basics from bakes to oil, winterization, and upgrade parts from Spiegler, Vortex, Wooodcraft and Moto-D – we’ve got you covered. Drop your bike off and we will do your end-season work, with fresh fluids, brake pads, tires, oil and anything else you need for 2026.
If you are racing next year, we are set up to prepare your machine to pass tech with any sanctioning body or just make it safer for your next track day. And, we are now AMB MyLaps dealers, with new non-subscription transponder units in stock for rental and sales. Rental units with cloud-based lap time retrieval will be $25/per day at SRC and SRR events, and new non-subscription units are available for purchase for $675.
And… we love the Duke 390, too! So, we’ve added a second one to the fleet, and expect to have it online and ready for customer rental days starting in late January.
Thanks for hanging in there for this long update. We are so excited about 2026 and hope to see you at the track soon!
