OSC Track Days
For more than 40 years now, the OSC has been promoting motorcycle safety in Ottawa and surrounding areas; taking pride in its rich offering of motorcycling programs that benefit not only those just being introduced to motorcycling, but to more experienced riders alike.  In keeping with this, the OSC hosts a track day (nominally yearly) where riders are given the opportunity to practice higher speed cornering, braking, and throttle management in a controlled and professional environment. |
Event Description
Track days are not training programs providing instruction on riding technique; they are simply a track day for more experienced riders to practice their skills while having fun in a controlled environment. With that stated however, there are some track experienced OSC instructors available to escort riders of all experience levels. What’s more, classroom based information session is provided with the event, which would be of particular benefit to less experienced track day riders.
In keeping with the OSC’s underlying focus on safety, the emphasis of these events is not be for riders to increase speeds and lower lap times. Rather, riders are encouraged to brake, corner, and accelerate consistently and smoothly.

Where & When
No track days are currently scheduled. Information will be updated here as it becomes available.
Preparation & Rules
To ensure the safety of all participants, a number of measures have been implemented. This includes escorted lapping sessions, strictly enforced riding conduct rules, and monitoring / supervision by both on track and off track marshals. Additionally, smaller group sizes are formed with enforced overtaking rules to ensure a greater safety margin for all riders. Riders will be classified into riding groups to ensure that riders of similar levels will be lapping on the same sessions.
Both the riding gear, and the motorcycle must meet certain minimum safety standards, and will be inspected at the track. When scheduled, the registration package will provide more details on bike/gear standards, as well out outlining the riding conduct rules.
Depending on the location of the track day, participating bikes may be required to pass sounds. For instance, Calabogie Motorsports Park conducts such tests. Their web site has additional details on these sounds tests.
