MOTORCYCLE LAPPING DAYS
Would you like to improve your riding skills? Hallett Motor Racing Circuit (HMRC) has developed a program designed to improve your skills while safely testing the limits of your motorcycle. All first-time Hallett Motorcycle Lapping Day (MLD) riders must participate in HART (Hallett Advanced Rider Training) to ensure you get a safe introduction to our race track with expert instructor assistance.
HMRC frequently shows off swag and other helpful products from great brands (that we sometimes give away to our MLD riders) to make their motorcycle lapping day rides easier, more comfortable, safer, and filled with value. One brand that we like is Viking Bags. Check out Viking Bags for motorcycle bags and motorcycle apparel. Be on the lookout for more ways HMRC will enhance the MLD experience in 2023!
Exception: If you have a current race license, bring it with you. HART can be waived at sign-in and you can ride in the advanced group (Note: Riders with novice racing license should contact our office at 918-356-4814 before registering to determine the correct group based on individual experience level & lapping day rules for this event). If you are an experienced track rider WITHOUT a race license, we still want you to attend HART; our instructors will determine the appropriate group for your level of experience very quickly. With an instructor’s approval, you may transfer to the intermediate or the advanced group throughout the day.

The HART Track Introduction & Rider Training Program
Our program is primarily designed to improve street riding skills by introducing the advantage of track instruction, enhanced by classroom sessions. Our curriculum takes a multifaceted approach, with an instructor-based program designed for all levels of riders’ expertise.
Our program’s focus is on the typical motorcycle street rider who is interested in exploring and expanding the potential of their equipment and ability. Although many of our participants have track experience, the novice group is separated to allow for individual instruction without the worries of a speed differential of faster and/or more experienced riders.
As our focus is on the typical street rider, our team of professional riding instructors is comprised of street-oriented riders, who have cumulatively logged over a million miles. Moreover, these “street instructors” are track proficient as well as highly qualified coaches who have logged thousands of track miles as motorcycle riding and safety instructors. There is no safer place to discover new techniques than at Hallett, the track with a HART!
