Check out #10. That is a new one on me.

Bike Preparation

1) All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the
track. If your bike DOES NOT pass tech inspection, you will NOT receive
a refund.
2) Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least
75% of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will
be disallowed. Slicks are allowed in 85% plus condition. We will have on
site tire service at each track day, so if your tires don't pass, you
will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech.
3) All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped
over or removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and
at least taped over for all other groups.
4) We recommend, but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes
with center stands will be allowed in the Advanced/Racer Group due to
the ground clearance issue.
5) All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill
switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition.
6) Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter
in place of coolant at all events.
7) All valve stems must have caps.
Cool Wheel balance weights must be well-secured.
9) License plates must have bolts taped or be removed.
10) No Fur Allowed.

Me too! I wonder if they're just kidding. Heck, we allow furred bikes
in the AFM, and there are at least two plus one with a furry seat. Why
would that be a safety issue for the rider or anyone else?

Not safety, just provides them a massive speed advantage:

I expect the organizers just assume anyone who brings a furry bike to a
track day is going to be troublesome. I mean, think about the folks
you've met who ride a furry bike on the street--how many of them are
good at following the rules?

Now I HAVE to get some fur. Trackbike needs paint, anyway. Some two
sided tape and har har har...fun times are here.

Were do they buy fake fur, anyway?

I assume any good fabric shop should be able to set you up.

Be sure to get the Cheetah print stuff, for obvious reasons. (Truth
be told, I kind of like furry bikes.)
