I remember a similar thread from way back but I searched and couldn't find it so i figure we can start a new one. BROtocross is has done something similar with "How to look like a pro", but I hope this list is a tad more lengthy.
The back story: I have a friend who just bought his first bike and I thought this may be helpful to keep him on the right track (no pun intended)
I'll get it started, help me out.
1. Keep that goggle strap up
2. Get that visor up
3. Tuck in that jersey
4. Matching gear
5. Never all black...anything.
6. Stand up!

Somebody should tell Dean Wilson about the "tuck in that jersey"
elbows up
sit on the front of the seat in turns
twist the throttle with your wrist and not your arm
grab a little rear brake when front end high... not front brake
dont act like king shit if you win the begginer class

Nerd said that you're "terribly fucking stupid" if you believe in superstitions though...
edit: damn it, towelie beat me to it!
Pit Row
If you fall down and you don't have a bone sticking out......get your bike up..and get your ass off the track before you try to start it.
Sitting in the middle of the track, especially in a blind spot, and trying to start your bike in slow motion when you are now a mile behind the leaders is about as stupid a thing that can be done on a motorcycle.
You are most likely to get hit and turn your bad day into something worse, and ruin somebody else's day as well.
and pay attention to the safety flags just like you would hope everybody else would do if it was your ass laying in the track.
Even if they just happen to be having a Jerry Springer reunion at the place you chose some of us would like to at least project some level of respectability and class concerning the sport we love to people we run into.
oh, and wash your freaking face off, especially if it is muddy or dusty.
Same thing applies for stickers from any company that isn't sponsoring you, for that matter. (edit: mstock beat me to it)
And if you aren't going riding, or coming home from riding...take your bike out of the back of your truck.
Freaking "D" class riders that list 25 sponsors are just SAD.
I also thought it was weak when a local would run 199 Suzuki or 259 Kawi... back in the day when those numbers meant something.
*unless you earned it.
