Absolutely loved my track day experience with 3:16 Trackdays, definitely the biggest bang for your dollar, excellent 1 on 1 time with the mentors, tons of track time. In fact so much track time that if you don’t pace yourself you will wear yourself out.
10/10 on customer service
10/10 on value
10/10 on environment (friendly/fun/clean/condition)
Great Job on making track days affordable for everyone to enjoy! Looking forward to next track season!!!!! 
- Really looking forward to the new season. The long sessions are especially great if you're practicing for endurance racing and very helpful for practicing technique as you can pit out and review with an instructor and get back at it without feeling rushed that your session is about to end. Plenty of time for both riding and rest. Oh, and red flags?.... not such a popular thing😉
- This group appears to be motivated by more than money. They ask questions, and go the extra mile trying to make the experience of track riding the best it can be.
- Best bang for your buck in the business right now. Plus one on one mentoring, vs group coaching. More personal than the standard group format. If you want lots of track time and don’t like leaving the track hungry for more, this is the organization to use.
- After experiencing 3:16 Trackdays and one from someone different I can officially say 3:16 has the best trackday!! There’s less people which means more room on the track, and better focus from mentors if you want the help they will help you!! I had the best time in a long time and IGNACIO is super friendly and really just wants you to have a good safe day. Look forward to more Trackdays with 3:16
- Thanks to 3:16 Trackdays for putting on a great event. This may be long but a thorough review may help others decide to come out or not.
I have had to be away from track riding for a few years. Life got super busy and family commitments kept me away. As a result, some of the confidence in my abilities that I once had has be diminished. I also didn't want to come back to an adrenaline filled crash fest.
I got on the website and watched the videos and read what was there. I even called Ignacio to see what they were all about. Ignacio does a great job of sending out emails and videos to help people understand what is going to happen and make it less confusing as it can be for new people. Pre-trackday impressions were good.
Managed to get loaded up early and arrived at the track the day before while some bikes were still on track. After the track riding was done. My wife and I got to walk the track and take pictures of all the turns. Cresson has changed a bit over the years. The seams in the pavement are not friendly to running parallel.
We finished taping up the bike, had dinner, and got some shut eye for the next day. Up at 6 to sign in at 6:30 and tech the bike. The riders' meeting went well. A little long, but the first one of the year normally is.
We hopped into pickup trucks and did a track drive/walk and talked about several turns and things to look out for such as seams and bumps.
Now 3:16 has a different format than most track days. Only two groups, Love to Ride (beginner to moderate level) and Respect the Craft (more advanced to wicked fast). Each group got a total of three and a half hours of ride time. The first sessions are two 30 minute sessions for each group and then one hour per group for the rest of the day. More thoughts on the format later.
The first session was following in a group with a mentor leading the pack. We were shown general lines as well as practiced entering and exiting the track several times. These skill are more important than most people realize. The first session on Cresson on a morning in the 50-degree ranges, can you say "slippery" boys and girls? But this is kind of normal there. Debrief with mentor after the first session then hydrate and get ready to go again.
Hour-long session, wow. Holy crap, can I even ride for an hour straight? My goal the first session was to relax and see if I could. Yep, road the whole session and gradually relearned the track and slowly got more heat and grip out of the brand new Dunlop GPR 300 tires that are purpose made for bikes like my Ninja 300. Getting some good reference points and keeping the pace relaxed help get more and more comfortable. A few straightaway throttle junkies were holding me up in some of the turns. Oh well, a trackday not a race. Must pass with respect and give them plenty of room. The attached photos show my progression throughout the day. BTW Blair Hart at Hart Photography does his best to make you look good. (oops can't seem to add photos to the review) A post-ride consult with my mentor and time for some lunch.
I may have eaten a little too much at lunch and/or the usual lack of sleep before a trackday caught up with me. The second hour-long session wasn't flowing as well for me though I was still getting more comfortable with the bike. I rode about 40 minutes and called it. Hey, I have an hour and 20-minute break. Time to get out of the leathers and deep breathing/relax/nap time. Get a big drink of water and go out again.
Third and final hour-long session. I am putting it all together. Getting corner speeds up. A bit more passing with respect. Rocking and rolling for about 20 minutes. Man, I gotta pee. Hey, hour-long session, why not come in and pee. And I did. Then went back out again and got back up to pace. I went about as fast as I wanted to in most turns. Ok, a few to still work on. With about 15 minutes left the brain started to fade a bit so I called it a day. What an awesome day. I got good feedback from a couple of mentors and a corner worker. Most of the brief red flags were mechanical issues. One rider did have an agricultural experience with no injuries. Overall a very good trackday experience. I would highly recommend 3:16 Trackdays to anyone looking to have fun and improve your riding.
- Very relaxed, stress free environment with longer sessions to get the seat time you need.
Mentors are passionate about your safety and your all around experience. They will even go the extra mile to work with others that they are not assigned to. I had another mentor mid session pass me and asked for me to follow him to give me a new insight of his lines.
10/10 I will be coming back!
- Just nice. Staff is attentive, atmosphere is laid back.
- if you're looking for an amazing trackday experience and really want to advance your skillset on the track regardless of your current skill level, THIS IS THE PLACE! This isnt just another trackday organization, it's a family of people with a mutual love of the sport. Do yourself a favor and book a day and see for youself.
- I had a great time, I definitely recommend 316, I like the idea and execution of this organization, much more time for your money, and then the personalized approach as far a the mentors and goals go was awesome!
