FAQ

Does NNKC rent bikes or equipment?
No. NNKC manages the desert park raceway facility and hosts family friendly racing events.

What about the people that are not racing?
A free spectator area is available for non-competitors. For those who wish to have access to the pit area and adjoining grandstands, a pit pass wristband is required. These wristbands cover the cost of our track insurance.

Where is the free spectator area?
The free area is located towards the south end of the track, extending from the start finish line, down to Turn 1. The free spectator area is not paved.

What is the Snell helmet rating?
The SNELL rating is specifically for motor sports. Every 5 years there is a new rating (2010, 2015, 2020) and that new rating is good for 10 years. If there is a significant accident for a helmet, it should be replaced. The SNELL 2010 helmets are good until 2020, at which time a helmet will have to be upgraded to SNELL 2015 or 2020.

Can I race without a membership?

Do I need an NNKC membership?
