General Questions
What is UtahSBK and what types of events do you run?
Utah Superbike (formerly Utah Sport Bike Association) is a not for profit, all‑volunteer organization that offers road racing, StreetGP, Supermoto, Mini Moto, and Riding Schools at Utah Motorsports Campus.
Where do your events take place?
All of our events take place at Utah Motorsports Campus
Is this a race or a track day?
Utah Superbike runs sanctioned race events and “gateway” racing like Street GP, not open‑track track days. We partner with APEXTrackdays, which provides training opportunities on the Fridays prior to our race weekends.
I’ve never been on track. Where should I start?
Check out our Get on Track page for options on how to get started!
How do I rent parking, RV parking, or garages at Utah Motorsports Campus?
You can reserve garages, RV spots, and general parking directly through Utah Motorsports Campus Rentals. Garage space is limited — book early to secure your spot!
Superbike
What classes do I qualify for?
Classes are divided by skill level (Novice, Intermediate, Expert) and bike type. Common classes include Superbike, Supersport, Lightweight Supersport, Super Street, and more. Check the Rulebook for full class descriptions and eligibility requirements.
How do I get a race license?
You’ll need to complete the New Racer Certification (NRC) or hold a valid reciprocal license. Once eligible, register for your license through MotorsportReg. The license is $300 and is honored by MotoAmerica, CVMA, MRA, and others.
I already race with another club, do you offer reciprocity?
Yes! UtahSBK honors current licenses from AFM, AMA, AHRMA, CCS, CMRA, CRA, MRA, OMRRA, SMRI, USGPRU, USBA, WERA, WMRRA, and CVMA. Other licenses may be accepted at the discretion of the Director of Competition. See the Superbike page for details.
What prep do I need to do to my bike?
Bike prep requirements are fully outlined in the Rulebook. Your bike will go through tech inspection at each event.
Do you run races in the rain?
Yes, we race in the rain unless conditions are deemed unsafe by race officials. Riders are allowed to use rain tires and adjust bike setup. Final decisions are always made with rider safety in mind.
Can spectators come watch?
Absolutely — spectating is free! Guests are welcome on race weekends at Utah Motorsports Campus. It’s a great day out for the whole family.
StreetGP
What is StreetGP?
StreetGP is an entry-level race program for street bikes — no full race license required. You get classroom instruction, practice sessions, and a simulated race. It’s the most accessible way to experience competition. Learn more about StreetGP
How is it different from a track day?
StreetGP is a structured, competitive event with a grid start and race format — not an open lapping session. You ride with a group, receive flag-marshal coverage, and compete for position, making it much closer to real racing than a standard track day.
Do I need a race license?
No — StreetGP does not require a full UtahSBK race license. It is designed specifically for riders who want to experience racing before committing to the full licensing process. See the StreetGP page for registration details.
How do I get a race license through StreetGP?
Completing multiple StreetGP events can be a path to full race licensure, at the discretion of the Director of Schools. It’s a great way to build track experience and demonstrate readiness. Visit the New Racers page to learn about all licensing options.
What prep do I need to do to my motorcycle?
StreetGP has minimal bike prep requirements — most standard track-day-prepared street bikes are eligible. Full requirements are in the Rulebook.
What gear do I need?
Helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, and boots are all required. Full leathers are recommended but not mandatory for StreetGP. Check the Rulebook for the complete gear requirements.
Supermoto
What classes do I qualify for?
Supermoto has classes for youth and adult riders across multiple skill levels and bike sizes. Check the Supermoto Rulebook for the full class breakdown and eligibility.
How do I get a race license?
A Supermoto license is $50 and is separate from the Superbike license. Register through MotorsportReg. No NRC is required — new riders are guided through the process at rider meetings.
What prep does my bike need?
Supermoto bike prep requirements are outlined in the Supermoto Rulebook. Your bike will go through tech inspection at each event.
What gear is required?
Full protective gear is required — helmet, jacket, gloves, pants/leathers, and boots. Specific requirements are listed in the Supermoto Rulebook.
What age can kids start Supermoto?

New Racers
How do I get my race license?
The main route is completing the New Racer Certification (NRC) program. Alternatively, if you already hold a license from a recognized club (AFM, AMA, WERA, etc.) you can use reciprocity. Register for the NRC through MotorsportReg.
How do I know what classes I can run?
Classes are based on your skill level, license level (Novice/Expert), and bike spec. The Rulebook has full class descriptions. If you’re unsure, reach out — our board members are happy to help.
Should I get my race license or do StreetGP?
How often do you offer New Racer Certification (NRC)?
NRC events are once each season. Check the Events Calendar for upcoming dates. We also partner with APEXTrackdays for track day prep on the Fridays before race weekends.
