Team Sheriff Racing “Beat The Heat” Track Days

Team Sheriff Racing announced today that they will be expanding their “Beat The Heat” Street-Legal Racing program with the addition of track days at local area racetracks designed to introduce young riders to the track environment, while also educating them about the dangers of illegal street and ‘canyon’ racing.

“All of us on the team are really excited about the expansion of the program; we’ve been hard at work to make this happen,” said Deputy Michael Churney, Director of Team Sheriff Racing’s Motorcycle Division. “Due to the success of our ‘Beat The Heat’ program at local drag racing tracks, we decided that along with the creation of our Motorcycle Division, we needed to expand the program to educate the younger riders that are street racing or racing in the canyons, but have never been to the track.”

American Honda, Pro Honda Oils and Chemicals, Lockhart Phillips USA, Chatterbox USA, Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Motorcycle Training Center (MTC Track Day), The Track Club (formerly Club Desmo), Take It 2 The Track, and Fastrack Riders will be sponsoring the events, which will be held at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Willow Springs International Raceway, and California Speedway.

“The motorcycle industry has really shown their commitment to the safety of the youth in our communities by making these events possible with their sponsorship. Thanks to the sponsors, we will be able to offer these events at a substantially reduced cost,” said Churney. “These events won’t be track schools, or cornering schools. They’re basically regular track days designed to provide an opportunity for riders that have never been on the track to come out to a track day for the first time, and introduce them to the track environment, while making it as easy and fun as possible. Part of our program also includes educating the riders about why the track is the place to push the limits of their machines and educating them about the dangers of doing it on the street. To help us with this, we will have the instructors from the track day organizers on the track as well as expert-level club racers (who are also certified MSF Instructors) on the track with them as well. And to top it off, there are a few AMA racers that have pledged their support as well. Jason Curtis (No Limit Motorsports), Jeff Tigert (TigerTeam Racing), and Nicky Moore (Moore Power Racing) have agreed to come out and participate, both on and off the track.”

Representatives from some of the sponsors will also be on hand to help riders, and answer questions on anything from riding gear to suspension setup.

The first Team Sheriff Racing “Beat The Heat” track day will be held in the Spring of this year. A schedule of the events (with locations, times, and costs) will be released in the immediate future.
