COTA July 3rd Just wanted to say what a great mentor I had Sunday with KD 51! Kaleb De Keyrel did a great job after every session checking on me and giving me advice on body position and many other things. If you have a chance to ride with him, do it, you will see had good he is. I will follow him in Moto America.

Mentor It was my first track day with 3:16 and it was amazing! The mentor Paul carter to was very very helpful! I’m bummed out 3:16 is coming to a end. - 7/04/2022
Marcus Allen
Awesome trackday!! Awesome organization, timeline was tight! I even got to play as well as help mentor since I rode in the “love to ride” aka novice group. It was definitely a great experience to finally pride with 3:16 outside or the Motorsport Bootcamp. That event was great as well!! Got the opportunity to actually ride with Ignacio and Eric Paradis!! Which was awesome! - 7/04/2022
David Henderson
Best track day ever This last July 2 was my 13th track day and the best ever. My last track day I had a mental block and just could not lean. This time my mentor was Marco Soto. Marco took me out the second session to show me the line for small bikes (I’m on an SV650) and why that line is a bit different than the big bikes. He rode at a pace that I could follow and it opened my eyes. After that he followed me for a lap. He pointed out that I was slow through 12 and told me I had plenty of grip which is what was going through my mind. He knew the root of my troubles and gave me answers before I asked questions. Great teacher and great fun. I'll be back. - 7/04/2022

COTA Superbike Camp! I am not overstating this in the slightest when I say 3:16 is THE BEST organization to ride safer and ride faster. I started riding with them last year (my first year on track) and I've progressed so much thanks to 316 and their expert mentors. Sean Treadaway was my mentor at COTA for their Superbike Camp and he helped me drop my lap times to near Advanced pace. They WILL make you faster and ride safer. The best way to learn how to race and stay upright is with 316. - 7/04/2022
David Henderson
Making progress with 316 I've done a few track days with 316 so far and gotten a bit faster, smoother, and more confident with every event. Berto has been a great help to me, giving me tips on everything from body position, to the proper line, to corner speed, and more. He's been very encouraging every step of the way, sharing new information when he sees I'm ready for it. The last track day I did was at COTA and Dezrae was my mentor and gave me tips that allowed me to pick up my pace comfortably and plan ahead better by looking further up the track. Thanks guys! - 5/27/2022
Rusty Tillery
COTA I have been to COTA a couple of times and attended May 7th ride. The arrangement in the garage was really convenient being right next to my mentor, Berto. He lead a very small group of us out to the track every time and continually provided feedback. He even videoed each of us and talked through areas where we could improve. He was patient, but very encouraging to me to work on the exact areas I was struggling (but not really aware of the causes).
Thanks to 3:16 for making the event happen and to Berto for making it safe and enjoyable...and faster for me! - 5/14/2022
Patton King
Had a blast at Harris Hill on my SV650 Was my 2nd time at Harris Hill with 3:16 Trackdays and had a blast. I worked with JET throughout the day and got lots of 1:1 time to talk through technique and issues I was experiencing. JET also took video w/ his GoPro that we were able to review while at the track which was awesome. This was helpful to see where my body position was at and what things I could work on. Looking forward to my next track day with 3:16! - 5/11/2022
William Go
Had a Great Time; Improved My Riding! Another excellent time with 3:16. David Dahms was my mentor and he did a great job showing us the way around the track and offering very useful advice on lines. I especially liked that he found me after each session and provided solid critique points about how I was doing. I felt that I got better each time I went out as a result of his feedback, This was my third trackday with 3:16 and I will be back. - 5/11/2022
Scerif Abdelazim
Experience Was very well put together loved the paste and the enthusiasm that those instructors had! Will attend again..
Great work - 5/10/2022

Ashwin Narasimhan
Attention to detail and personal care is top notch Ignacio and crew always host a fantastic trackday. Their attention to detail and personal connection with each rider is fantastic - I feel like they understand me and my needs every time.
Next Level coaching academy is fantastic. What a unique opportunity to ride with the elite fastest CMRA racers and get personalized coaching!
Low track density, great coaches and great courtesy. I recommend 316 to everyone and wish them continued success. - 5/10/2022
Lindsay White
Tony Miller Thanks so much to Tony for his help till late Sunday night with my tire troubles. Also for his personal approach to coaching me on Monday. The time he spent with all of us in between sessions was wonderful. Lucky for him that I don’t live closer to him, as I would love to have an “off track” friendship with him! Not to worry- I’m happily married! - 4/01/2022
Felipe Miranda
Amazing day Hi guys, I moved to Texas some months ago so everything is new for me but you made me feel I was at home surrounded by friends that share the same passion about this sport.
Paul Carter was my mentor and he was outstanding! I feel I share a day with a friend and at the same time I learned a lot from him.
Thank you! - 3/31/2022Bill Orlicek
New to 3:16trackdays I honestly had no expectations related to 3:16, in fact had just recently learned of the organization. My primary reason for signing up for track day at Cresson was the CMRA school. I was impressed with Ignacio and the manner in which he controls the operation , my mentor, Aaron Graham, and the amount of track time you get! I was a little apprehensive initially about the broad mixing of skill levels, but it seems to work. I’ve ridden with SST, Ridesmart, and a few others and guarantee more seat time here. Plus, it’s cheaper than the others. - 3/29/2022
Michael Stringer
Always a great time It was great to be back on the track with 3:16. Start off with a prayer, long sessions, safest track day ever. As riders we have to do our part and be safe. You guys at 3:16 provide the safest environment to have a experience. Well Done! - 3/29/2022
Mark Landers
3/28 Superbike Camp I had a great time with a full day of riding. with way more track time than other tack days. Our mentor, Berto Casca, was better than excellent. You could tell he loves what he's doing and had a lot of useful information. Totally recommend 3:16, just wish they had more track days..... - 3/29/2022
Brock Orlicek
Had a Blast Me and my dad joined 3:16 at our home track MSRC for the superbike camp/CMRA school and we had a blast. We completed the day rubber side down, passed our tests and had more track time than we could ask for. The mentors were awesome! Aaron was our mentor and he helped us out a lot on line options and was a stand up friendly guy as well! Tony was also a lot of help and super friendly and he wasn’t even our mentor. J.C. Is just fun to watch. All in all we had a great experience and will ride again with 3:16 ASAP! Highly recommend - 3/29/2022
Rance Taylor
SuperBike Camp The owner and the Mentors were all super nice and helpful. The days are very well run and organized! I would recommend trying out a day at the track with this group for sure! Thank you and see you soon. - 3/29/2022
Jeff Moore
Cresson track day. This was my first track day with 3:16 and they far exceeded my expectations. Sean and Dave were great mentors and were extremely helpful. In addition to that, on two occasions mentors who weren’t assigned to me even gave me great pointers. Great vibe. Very well run - 3/29/2022
Patrick West
Faster everytime! Ive gotten to attend three trackdays this year with 3:16, and each event I've gotten more refined and faster on track. I could not have done this without the expert help from Paul Carter, Damien Kimbrough, and Tony Miller. All of these guys have worked patiently and hands on with me to help refine my skills and riding ability. They also did this for three other people at the same time(within each group). The mentors that 3:16 has to offer are some of the best, if not the best in the area(tx)/race community to help teach you to become the best possible rider you can be. Ignacio has setup a amazing program to help you get the most education while still getting you on track as much as possible. Hands down 3:16 is the best trackday program to ride with!
Thank you to all at 3:16 for such a amazing program you guys offer. - 11/08/2021
Omar Ahmad
H2R Nov 01, 2021 First time at H2R and I loved it, 3:16 crew were professional and very friendly, we did a walk around the track To explain the corners, lines, cones, etc etc. (Great).
Mentor to rider 4:1 (in my case 3:1)
One hour session!
Snacks were available to us, and the amazing crew were handing out frozen electrolytes.
They allow safe passing in the beginner level which is great.
My mentor Alain Guembes worked with me and addressed a few small things that made all the difference lap after lap. Very capable and a humble rider
I had a spill towards the end of the session, and the crew were like a true family loaded the bike on the trailer and helped assure my dad. They even kept checking on me a few days after the incident.
This is my third trackday with 3:16 and Everytime I have fun, learn a lot, and meet awesome people. - 11/08/2021Jerry L. Morales
Nov1 Track day Ignacio and crew. Awesome, Awesome program.
I would only recommend -and this is only to recommend and would by no means affect my review- I would recommend that your group similar displacement bikes together. I was in a small group with a significantly smaller displacement than other students in the group, and I felt that they were going slower than they wanted to.
By placing similar displacement bikes in a group together, it would keep the bigger boys happy.
Again, it was just an observation and by no means did it affect my experience. It was awesome, and will be recommending it to other fellow riders I know.
Keep up the great work guys and gals. - 11/02/2021Vernon Pianfetti
316 and mentor This was one of the best times I've had. From the time on the track to the people helping run the whole thing. It ran great! The amount of time on the track was great. For my mentor Damien Kimbrough, you legit man! Showed us so many techniques to make us better,and cool as hell. Thank you all who made this day happen. Will definitely be signings up for more. - 9/14/2021
Les York
Super Bike Camp is always amazing! Super Bike Camp is always a first class experience. Marco and Suneeta were my mentors at the last two events, and each time they were able to help me make improvements. Not saying there is anything wrong with track days, but Super Bike Camp with 3:16 is the place where you come to get faster at your craft!
Thank you Ignacio and May! - 9/11/2021Scott Sheaffer
First class 3:16 Trackdays is the real deal and truly a first class operation. Ignacio and May are trendsetters, very conscientious about the experience and genuinely invested in the betterment of the sport, the craft, and YOU as a rider. The mentors are just top notch, one of several factors that really set these guys apart. I have been riding a long time and have had some world class instruction, so I am a little gristled and not easy to impress. I can honestly say I learn something profound and I improve every time I participate in a 3:16 event. They offer a whole lot for the price, the events are a steal. - 9/08/2021
Austin Leonard
Superbike Camp on Labor Day Nothing short of amazing! The formats and the times and the group sizes are perfect. It’s never congested on the track and there are plenty of sessions to work on getting better. Alain and Damien rode with me and gave me tips and I had the time of my life. I’ll be attending every session I can with you guys. And Alain and Damien deserve the best! - 9/07/2021
Adam Mendonca
The Best Track Experience Once again I had an amazing time on track with 3:16. I have also ridden with some other east coast orgs, 3:16 is simply the best. My mentor Marco was outstanding! The attention to detail he provides is unmatched. I told him at the start of the day I wanted to go faster, he said "I can help with that." After the first 2 sessions he sat me down and gave me some pointers to try. Not only did he help me with conserving energy but also his suggestions allowed me to be more stable and cut 2 seconds off my lap time by the end of the day. Extremely happy with the experience and can't wait to get back on track! - 9/07/2021
Checkerz Wiliams
Excellent Organization I made the 5 hour drive over from Baton Rouge to MSR Houston specifically to check out 3:16 Trackdays as an organization. Having ridden with another organization I wanted to explore something new. Ignacio and May, and the whole 3:16 team did an amazing job hosting us. Very organized and amazing hospitality! I've already signed up for another 3:16 event that is even farther away (6 and a half hours drive) because I love this 3:16Trackday Team! - 8/26/2021
Lorenzo Ruiz
Had a great time on Saturday, am a cmra racing just trying to get faster. My coach was Alan Phillips and have never had a better coach. Gave great feedback on where to improve and checked how i was doing every session. - 8/16/2021
Lars Olund Christensen
MSRH August 2021 Me and my son enjoyed the hole weekend with 3:16 I think the best way to put it is to say: The first thing we did returning home was to sign up for the 9/11 weekend. Want to make sure we got a spot. Everybody are Helpful and flexible and focused on safety and having a good time. Mentors and Marshals are professional and constant accessible to assist and if you want to do your own thing, just go ahead. Me and my family loves it. Hope to CU out there. - 8/16/2021
Austin Leonard
First Trackday Impression All I can say is amazing. 3:16 Trackdays provided phenomenal mentors to share knowledge and advice to get me right on the bike. Definitely look forward to signing up again with them! Sunita (hope I spelled that somewhat right) and Damien (spell check this too haha) were awesome in making sure I knew the lines and understood why they do what they do on the track and the bike. They were amazing and can’t wait to work with them again! - 8/16/2021
Alex Villafranca
Did not disappoint! After having a mediocre experience with another track day organization, I decided to give 3:16 a shot and was not disappointed. I did the Superbike Camp event at COTA on July 4th and had an amazing time. From the event schedule and the number and length of available sessions, to the support and the comradery from the staff, vendors and participants, not to mention the mentor experience, the camp is well organized and a truly special experience. The groups are small and my mentor, Marco, was always there for us. He took video to critique my riding technique and to help me develop better lines. He is very knowledgeable and was always open to listen to my concerns, and answer any questions. His instruction and individualized approach were invaluable to me! Kudos to Ignacio and May for organizing such great events and I'm definitely staying with 3:16 for my next track day! - 7/11/2021
Eduardo G
Thank you for another amazing COTA weekend! I can only say good things about my experience both days as well as our great mentor Bobby Crandell. He did an outstanding job making sure that all of us improved our riding despite our different experience and confidence levels. Kudos to Bobby for that! It was also very much appreciated having the extra riding time Sunday. Thank you and I look forward to the next COTA event. - 7/08/2021
William Go
Excellent Experience in Every Way This was my first trackday in several years. I've been to Watkins Glen, Summit Point and Willow Springs. As expected, this was by far the nicest facility I've ever been to. 3:16 ran a first class event. Very well organized and professional. The information emailed beforehand was extremely helpful so that I'd know where to go and how the day would run. My mentor was Paul Carter and he was great. Paul talked to each of us individually and provide us a detailed description of the track which was extremely helpful. I was concerned that it would be difficult learning such a long track (COTA) but Paul made it easy. Overall I had a terrific time and I will be attending other 3:16 events at other tracks. - 7/08/2021
Jerry Smith
Simply the best! I had a fantastic Independence Day weekend by heading to COTA with 3:16. I’m beginning to wonder why I ever book a track day with anybody else. Ignacio, May, and the family / team have really built the best of the best when it comes to track days. Everything is always organized, mentors are excellent, they pay attention to the details, and the riders that show up are always a great bunch to hang out and spend time with. Speaking of details, they started the day off giving thanks to God and they had a professional singer come in to perform an excellent rendition the Star Spangled Banner for Independence Day. They also had custom stickers on July 3rd with all of the riders names. Big shout out to JET. I honestly made more progress over the weekend than I have had since the very beginning of my track day journey (addiction). He’s a great guy, knowledgeable, and he’s patient. Yes, there are other track day organizations out there, but 3:16 is simply the best. Thanks again y’all, and see you soon!! - 7/07/2021
Teegen Partridge
Fantastic Organization Had an awesome opportunity to join 3:16 Track Days for a day out at COTA. The entire day was well planned out and it was obvious how hard Ignacio and all of his crew worked to make the day special. If you are thinking of doing a track day I highly recommend this organization, you will have a blast. - 7/07/2021
Dustin Weaver
316 trackday Everytime I come to a 3:16 track day it's always an awesome day, even if it rains half the day. Between your staff hanging out water and other members willing to help out. I couldn't ask for more better experience. I'm so glad I don't have to hustle till classroom and then hustle back to my bike between breaks with 316. Even your mentors have a positive outlook on everything. Tony Miller has been my mentor the last two times I've done Cota with you guys. He goes out of his way to help each person out in his group. He points out everything to improve your riding experience. I can't thank you guys enough. You guys are awesome!!! Please do more Harris Hill and cota's throughout the year. - 7/07/2021
Mark Cortez
Best Trackdays in Texas Great instructors that are eager to help at a lower ratio. Excellent session layout and more track time! The hydration crew is awesome, always handing out water when you’re on break. Can’t go wrong with 3:16. - 7/06/2021
Patton King
Had an awesome experience with 3:16 Trackdays at COTA I recently did the 3:16 Trackdays event at COTA on July 3rd, 2021. I had an awesome experience and got loads of track time. Throughout the day I worked 1-on-1 with Marco who was very knowledgeable and a joy to work with. The guy understands motorcycles like a horse whisperer understands horses, haha. Marco gave me lots of great tips and we spent the day focusing on how I use my feet and body position. He was able to film me with a GoPro and track my lap times. After just a few sessions of working together he helped me shave 39 seconds off my lap time! I would highly recommend riding with 3:16 Trackdays and look forward to future events! - 7/06/2021
Omar Ahmad
COTA BOOTCAMP 2 JULY 2021 My first track day after my accident last year. Thank you 3:16trackdays/Ignacio &May, Candace, Art, Roger Albert, Keith for the Conti tires, and all the sponsors for making it happen for us active duty. Special thank you to our awesome mentor "Marco" garage 8, he used his personal camera to give us feedback after each session. I would like to reach out to Marco to get his contact info to thank him. - 7/05/2021
edan donabella
cota with 3:16 i had a gret time and learned very much about the racing line with my mentor marquis davis. i was actually able to keep up with fast riders just because i knew a few little tricks about the line. thats what i really took from the time i spent there. they kept us hydrated and happy with ac water and electolyte stuff too! - 7/05/2021
Juan Antonio Anzaldua
Boot camp Had a great time at book camp. I learned alot from my mentor David. He gave me grate advice to help me practice and build my confidence on the corners. - 7/05/2021
Adam Mendonca
The time of my life Had an amazing time with 3:16 at COTA, very well run event! I had a blast. I am yet to find a fault with anyone involved with the 3:16 organization. My mentor Tony Miller was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. With tips from body position to picking the correct lines, I have never been more confident in my riding. I can't wait to get back on track. - 7/05/2021
Natasha Brewer
WOW factor! From start to finish this organization will impress you. The entire staff at 3:16 are all dedicated to making YOUR trackday experience fantastic. From registration to track time to paddock life, it’s personal, friendly, and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure every single detail of the day is covered. The hydration team…knocked it out the park!! They were there between every session making sure we had everything we needed to continue our day. The control room staff had the weather channel on speed dial for any and all alerts, keeping everyone safe and updated throughout the day. Ignacio and May have gone above and beyond, and I am so glad we made the trip to ride with 3:16! - 7/05/2021
Demarcus Allen
Your organization is great Truth is I’ve been having a rough time the past few months. I was really close to not coming to the event, but I’m glad I did! I like how you were really open and personal with us and shared your trials and tribulations. I’ll definitely start using you guys as an organization. Thank you so much!! Motorcycle accidents aren’t the only issue the military has struggles with but riding has become a big aspect of my life and it keeps me in the right headspace. So again thank you and everyone else. Sometimes it’s just good people that keep us going and fighting and you have organization full of good people. For that I appreciate you! - 7/05/2021
Daniel Garrett
COTA WEEKEND WAS AWESOME This weekend at COTA was absolutely amazing, minus the bit of liquid debris, the team at 3:16 made it a top notch experience from beginning to end. Shout out to my mentors for the weekend Kasey Lewis, Berto, and David Lang. Also big thanks to the hydration team making sure we all stayed hydrated. Looking forward to the next time I get to ride with yall. - 7/05/2021
Todd Ehrlich
Rockstars! This is my second time at 3:16 COTA, and just love the brotherhood and format. I've learned so much and appreciate everyone that made it a success, especially all of the "Crew" delivering water and the famous popsicles! It is attention to detail, like this, that makes a 3:16 event so special. My mentors have been top-notch and really work the things I need to work. The 3:16 folks work hard to make the best experience for you while making it easy to become friends. - 7/05/2021
Michael Stringer
The Best Experience I cant say enough about 3:16 Ignacio and May are the dynamic duo and have surrounded themselves with people who care. My Mentor ( Damien ) was a ton of fun and very in tune with each rider and knew his way around COTA. Thanks Again 3:16! - 7/05/2021
Juan Daniel Reynoso
July 4th Superbike Camp at COTA Just returned from the superbike camp at COTA w/3:16 and can not wait to be back next year. Ignacio and his team put on a top notch experience for riders of all levels, on and off the track. I would highly recommend 3:16 at any track on their roster. - 7/05/2021
Raiko Williams
Amazing hospitality, great environment The entire organization was very welcoming, they're very well structured with their schedules. The H2O Team keeps you hydrated so you don't lose out on track time. The mentors do a great job pointing you in a direction to get faster, video review helps a lot. The best TD Organization I've ridden with hands down. As a transwoman I'm always reserved about the type of people I could end up meeting at the track but I never felt wary at all. For anyone that gets nervous around people, this is the organization you want to ride with. - 7/05/2021
Les York
Paul Carter! Paul Carter was my mentor for MSRH on Memorial Day. He listened to exactly what I wanted to improve on and provided feedback that was easy to understand. He even followed up after the event with more feedback and videos to help me become a better rider. You always get first class service from 3:16 and every Mentor! Thank you 3:16! - 6/13/2021
Jacob Hose
MSRC 6/5 Amazing day out at cresson. I was paired up with Suneeta. I was on my ninja 250 coming from normally riding my GSXR 750 with no small bike experience. She helped me immensely with my lines and maintaining corner speed on the small bike. The weather held up and the day ended up being perfect. Thanks y’all!! - 6/07/2021
Travis Farley
My First Track Day Didn't 100% know what to expect for my first trackday weekend. But, the event I attended at MSRC was really first-rate. It exceeded my expectations in just about every way. My 2 mentors Jason and Tony were really just what I needed to get acclimated to the track. Without them, I couldn't have experienced the dramatic increase in skill and comfort that I did. The level of focus on mutual respect and safety was just right. As a grumpy old man, I really place a premium on punctuality, professionalism and courtesy. These 2 days ran like clockwork. every meeting and session started on time. I was pleasantly surprised by all of the complementary water & snacks & electrolyte popsicles. All of the staff and mentors were great. I will certainly be attending more 3:16 track days!! - 6/07/2021
Ioben Borbiliac
Amazing track day experience! This was my 1st time going to a track day and I was over the moon! I was 1 of 4 riders in my group and we had our main mentor and his helper (secondary mentor), which was very rewarding for all of us! Plenty of seat time, one-on-one training, tons of feedback, and if you had a little traffic on the track... you can pass them in a safe, respectful manner! I did not feel rushed, intimidated, or stressed during the whole experience... just miles of smiles! Best bang for my buck, by far! Thank you team 3:16 and all that you do! Also, big thanks to my mentor Tony Miller and his trusty helper Beto!!! I will always remember this day and hope to attend future events as soon as possible! - 6/06/2021
Carl D.
Mentor Damien Did a fantastic job as a group and individualy 1:1 Took the time to understand my gaps and then work with me on how to address. Was totaly available off the track and went over and beyond to ensure a sucessful day No more RideSmart for me! - 6/04/2021
Daniel Garrett
MSR Houston Another wonderful experience with 3:16! Great lessons from my mentor Damien K. Definitely got the most out of this experience with yall. - 6/01/2021
Guillermo Grado
My First Trackday With so much to think about along with the exciment of the race track, 316 kept it stress free. My mentor Paul Carter kept me focused and was there to answer all my questions after each session. I Can't wait to do it again! - 5/09/2021
Chris Butler
Passionate Instructors and Great First Experience My first track day through 316 was down the first half of the day and way up the second half. Most of my track day experience has been at MSRH so I felt I was ready for more experienced group at Harris Hill since there are only 2 levels with 316. I struggled in the first half of the morning getting comfortable at new track and couldn't figure out what I was struggling with. I happen to run into Damien and told him I was not enjoying my day so far and he quickly responded., "You paid too much not to have fun, lets fix this". I asked if I could ride in the first group and the 316 workers had no objection and wanted me to ride in whatever group I felt comfortable. Damien was very patient with working through my body position and giving detailed feedback on and off the track. Even after the track day, he continued to follow up with me and give me feedback which I did not expect. I left the track day seeing a big improvement in my body position and most importantly feeling like the last part of the day was fun as I was not fighting my bike as much based on instructor feedback. I would recommend track days with 316 to anyone especially if other instructors are as passionate about helping others like Damien. The 4 star is for constructive feedback on format which an hour is too long. I appreciate you are able to take a break at anytime during the hour and come back on track, but I feel by the second half of the day I was resting for at least half of the hour. - 5/03/2021
Les York
Best track day experience in Texas! 3:16 Trackdays offers a very relaxed environment that provides all riders, no matter your skill level, the opportunity to improve and have fun while doing it! Logan was great! During our time in the pits, he shared sooo many great techniques that helped ME improve on the track. I'm looking forward to working with him again in Houston and improving my lap times :-). Thanks Logan! Thanks 3:16! - 4/17/2021
Nick Torres
Harris Hill 4/12/21 Review Absolute blast with the group! First track day. Intimidating up until arrival. Once I met up with friends and met the mentor, all was good. First few laps on the track had me nervous and getting used to the environment, but our Mentor (Suneeta) walked us through the process. After the first session I was ready to spread my wings and get out there. Suneeta was there to answer any questions and/or provide feedback. Definitely increased my riding skills and had so much fun doing so! Great organized track day with....plenty of track time! - 4/14/2021
Dwight Hume
Most growth of ANY of my previous TDs. I don't just throw comments around, as I'm extremely particular. This was definitely the most personal improvement I've experienced at a TD... 10 pts for Anthony! (or whatever is the max per rider award system) Tony was fantastic! I've heard all the usual track instruction before, just the way he presented it to me, several lights finally illuminated. As a former MSF Riding Coach myself, I consider this priceless, as all students need concepts explained in a manner that is tailored to their personal minds. HH is a fantastic track, that I plan on spending much more time on. IP and May always go above and beyond, which I so appreciate and admire since it's how I operate my business! Vibe was amazing! Not intimidating at all, felt like family. ? Everyone there was exceptionally helpful, and exuding that Southern Hospitality. I'll add this for IP, and the Christians... If Jesus had a TD, I imagine this would be it! For myself... IP, May, Marshall's, Corner Workers, rest of the 3:16 Possie, they are serving the Universe beautifully! Way to set the bar Crew! Also, I'm thankful Busa didn't tech my bike when I saw him Sun. ? j/k. Oh, and please give Jet a couple points for the trailer home.? - 4/13/2021

All mentors were amazing. I was paired with Dave Dahms and he was absolutely fantastic and gave a ton of great feedback. Any instructor I spoke to also gave plenty of advice and some even found me on the track to give me a tow. Sean Brown and JC came by as well just to say hi and introduce themselves and give advice. - 4/13/2021

Harris Hill A stress free day that ran very smoothly. Having done hundreds of Trackdays around the country over the past three decades, I was very comfortable with 3:16. Very much enjoyed my mentor Sean Brown, such a friendly guy and seemed to always be there if you really needed him. Only con I have is I’m not a fan of the SuperBike camp setup as one hour sessions are a bit too long in MY opinion. Great job to the entire 3:16 team, well ran organization. - 4/13/2021
Konrad Benginow
well organized and very fulfilling experience The event was well organized from the get-go with informative emails from Ignacio prior to the track-day. During the event everything went smoothly and track time was maximized. What I liked the most was the attention and quality feedback from my mentor, who was awesome. He was able to spend plenty of time with me and other 4 riders assigned to our group. He was patient and knew exactly how to make us improve. every bit of information was valuable and we could then practice all that feedback in the sessions. I've learned a lot in a friendly, no-pressure environment. It was an amazing experience and hopefully more to go! - 4/04/2021

You’ll want to do more It was my very first track day ever and I didn’t know what to expect but everyone made me feel very comfortable and the student to mentor ratio was fantastic. What I really want to highlight is one of your mentors though. My mentor was Tony Miller and I got to say, he did an absolutely fantastic job! He was able to help every single of us in our group and was very encouraging and confidence inspiring. He gave praise at times which was nice but he also had such a smooth way of keeping everyone down to earth and willing to be better and learn more. Had it not been for his outstanding mentoring I wouldn’t have even got close to where I ended the day at. Thank you Tony Miller and 3:16 Team! - 4/01/2021
Dennie Spears
3:16 does an excellent job of running track days. The format for my track day at MSRC was great. By using my hourly sessions as 20 minutes of riding, 20 minutes of suspension tuning/rest and 20 more minutes of riding, I was able to get in seven practice sessions. It had been nearly 4 years since I had been on a track and I was rusty at first and slowly improved over the day. Bobby, my mentor, was great. He helped me exactly as I requested. - 3/31/2021
Jerry Smith
Great day Ignacio, I just wanted to drop a Quick note to let you know how much my enjoyed my experience at 3:16. Your operation is top notch, and the format was a big part of that. I felt like the small groups assigned to each Mentor allowed me to spend the time learning as well as have conversations with other riders. In our group, these conversations generated additional feedback along with encouragement from my fellow riders. On the topic of mentors, Tony was simply outstanding. He’s a personable guy that really helped me identify areas of opportunity. He broke down complex items into simple tasks that I was able to execute and build on throughout the day. He was also a good motivator, and I hope to get a chance to work with him again. I achieved more than I had hoped from the day. First and foremost, I truly appreciated that you starting the day off giving thanks to God. I also had a great time, I’m a better rider than I was, and everybody went home safe. Thanks for a wonderful day. I’ll see you again soon. - 3/31/2021

Track Days with 3:16 I love riding with 3:16. First, they are just great people. Second, they take really good care of their riders, no matter the level of experience. Third, they want riders to have fun, improve their skills, meet other riders and expand the community of riders. Forth, you learn something each time your out on the track. The mentors are superb! Did I mention that you'll have fun. It's a great experience. Get ready for the spring when track days resume and be sure to save your coins for COTA...an experience not to be missed. - 11/21/2020
Dane H. Nerad
First track day with 316 I have done track days through all of the "other" Texas track day groups. While all have been awesome 3:16 clearly has the best format. By the end of the day you have ridden so much that you do not want any more track time. The environment is exceedingly supportive, it feels like a group of friends who rented the track out for the day. Can't wait to do another track day. - 11/20/2020
Stephen L. George
Requested Reiew I've been to 2 of your Track Days. I've also ridden with Ride Smart and at Hallett. Overall I think 316 does the best job. Pros: Long sessions. Well Coordinated sessions. Great communication. Abundant staff. Rider autonomy. Rider focused briefings and track review/walks. More experienced rider pool Cons: Track Walk can run too long and be too basic. Suggestions: Publish a track guide for each venue to save time at the event going over all the particulars. Publish essential rider info, riding basics or references/links to review ahead of time for those who wish to. Have mentors send their plans for the day or curriculum for the day to their group ahead of time. Ensure mentors adhere to the schedule. Ensure mentors tailor their instruction to their riders. I'm looking forward to more 316 track days next season. Thankx Much. - 11/18/2020
Juan Daniel Reynoso
Because May and Ignacio Care ... and they bring snacks =P After 1.5seasons of riding with 3:16 Trackdays, while also riding other organizations on occasion, I realized and experienced what sets May and Ignacio apart ... "They care about our experience and well being on track." They surround their program with good folks and support staff that make a win-win situation for everyone. *Safety Briefings/Expectations/TrackStudy? Check! *Positive Attidudes? Check! *Teamwork and Friendly Help? Check! *Snacks? Triple Check!!! - 11/18/2020

Best Experience for a New Track Rider Being a Christian is awesome. Finding a Track day experience that glorifies Christ , Awesomer! The day is well organized and thought out. Safety is held at a high standard and being new to the track that made all the difference. The coaching was a welcomed surprise and super helpful. Nothing but good things to say and will look forward to the next one. - 11/18/2020

Best in Texas This is the best run track org in I have found in Texas, period. Ignacio and May really give it everything. 316 has put a lot of thought into the structure of the sessions, it is a great environment to lap and learn. My experience with 316 has been top notch, and the relaxed environment is more enjoyable and safer. I don't ride with anyone else since I tried 316. - 11/18/2020

The 3:16 Experience Well, where to start..... Let me start with Ignacio and May, they are straight-up good and nice people from top to bottom, kind hearts through and through. The 3:16 experience is not just a track day, its a gathering of good people getting together at the track for fellowship and fun,,,,, nerdy Tech types from Austin, Roughnecks from West Texas, Okies from Okla, the Blue Collar and Big Oil types from Houston, Old Army, bright-eyed Marines, and even a few Flyboys/gals,,,, every walk of life,,,, basically America just coming together for riding and riding and riding. Lots of CMRA racers attend but also a lot of new track attendees and a bunch somewhere in the middle, if you are new you will find a lot of helpful advice, show me-ship and mentorship if you ask, and sometimes people will just give it without you asking. That's the type of people that attend 3:16. Come attend a track day with the 3:16 crew, have fun, improve skills, maximize on-track time and be safe. No other track day organization gives as much as 3:16. - 11/18/2020
Ramiro Garcia
Another 3:16 track day in the books! I was matched with mentors Damien Kimbrough and Cliff Partee. This was my first time at Harris Hill and they started us off slow and then picked up the pace. They gave a lot of instruction when it came to my body position, and it changed my entire way of thinking. I felt so much better just being on the track. I would also like to thank Anthony Miller a previous mentor of mine for giving me some tips and keeping my head straight. Thank you Ignacio for having a great team! - 11/05/2020
Lance Catchings
*UPDATE November 2020*
Roughly one year ago I did my first track day and was told, “Welcome to my new addiction -IP”. Monday at Harris Hill was my 7th trackday and it was the perfect way to wrap up 2020. I was paired with mentors Damien Kimbrough & Cliff Partee and they really did an excellent job. It was my first time at Harris Hill Raceway so from the basics of pitting in/out at this new to me track, then getting right to work on evaluation was great. They worked with our group all day, gave real time video feedback/evaluation during our off track time and were great guys to be around. I also got to talk track with another one of my past 3:16 mentors (Tony Miller) as he was control riding that day. The experience and the knowledge these guys share is immeasurable. Looking forward to continue learning and improving with 3:16 Trackdays in 2021.
I have been riding sport bikes since 2009 but had never experienced the track until the MSRH event on 8/3/19 and I am so thankful my first trackday was with 3:16 Trackdays. I actually won the track day at a TXSR kickoff event so that made the experience even more special. For a first time track rider I couldn’t have asked for a better organization to learn the ropes. From the drop off the night before to the check in the next day and the on/off track coaching my entire experience is one I’ll never forget. I actually roped in another street riding buddy of mine and we can’t wait to go back to MSRH for the event in September. Ignacio has put together a first class organization that I would recommend to anyone, but especially those who are new to the track experience. - 11/05/2020 Brian Hooks
Absolutely awesome experience! I’d definitely recommend 3:16 to everyone that rides! Thank y’all! - 11/04/2020
Roba Magic
Best track day format ever. Coaches are available to guide you, whether you are a 1st timer or a seasoned “track day junkie”.
(4 riders to 1 coach) which makes it easy for hands on coaching. I have had the pleasure of working with great coaches who are also racers @Kier Garcia @Marquis Davis @John Mackenzie and @Paul Carter.
Looking forward to 2021! - 10/28/2020 JJesus Morales

I have done a dozen or so track weekends but first time with 3:16; it truly exceeded my expectations! My mentor Sean Brown was great and highly recommended. The entire staff was professional and Texas friendly, throughout the day stopping by to offer a water or a hydration frozen treat. I absolutely love the one hour sessions, plenty of laps and time to pit have a water and then get back on the track. It simply could not have been better! Highly recommended and can't wait for the next event.

Such a great experience and day of progression as always this past Labor Day with 3:16 Trackdays!
The mentors are the best and really try to personally work with you throughout the whole day to help you get better ?
Shoutout to my mentor Logan Pierre for helping me this past Monday to work on my weak points definitely helped to make a difference for me ? - 9/09/2020 Vince Mascia
3:16 Trackdays are by far the best track day experience I have had. The relaxed atmosphere promotes learning and makes the day enjoyable. Their format of providing maximum track time with a reasonable number of riders per session is an exceptional value. I’m already planning how I can attend as many 3:16 Trackdays as possible next year. - 9/09/2020
Elizabeth Waltman
From start to finish, a great experience every time I go! This time was at MSRC on the 1.7 track. Jason Farias was my mentor and really helped me get my lines on a new track. Later in the day, Marquis Daniels helped me as well. Terrific coaches. I also took the CMRA racing class. Keith Hertell taught the class and prepared me for the mock race. Looking forward to turning in the yellow shirt for my racing license. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Just bummed that it was the last day of the year.
Just do it.! - 9/08/2020 Mike Forostoski
Rode with 3:16 yesterday at MSR Cresson. Fantastic experience! It was a great combination of instructor feedback + self-paced learning. I’ve ridden with quite a few track day orgs, and here are some high points of 3:16:
1) They are a tick more expensive, BUT they provide mentors at a 1:4 teacher:student ratio, the mentors seek out their students after the ride (thanks, Cosmo!), and the org provides a plethora of snacks. They are also willing to go get food for you if you need it.
2) This is the first org I’ve ridden with that does a comprehensive track walk with an expert racer. We went to the critical areas of the track and learned the best bike placement, visual markers/landmarks, and problematic areas.
3) Great people! I’ve never had a bad experience with people at the track, and this org continued that tradition and was “all in” when it came to rider satisfaction and team attentiveness. I took my neighbor, a new rider, and so many instructors came up to him asking how he was doing and giving him great feedback. Definitely shows this org has great pride in bringing up people in this sport.
4) Courteousness and Respect! I’ve been “that guy” and I’ve also almost been taken out by “that guy.” There were very few instances of foolishness on the track and the message to all was “respect your fellow riders.” I truly feel people took it to heart because I never felt disrespected on the track, or they people were being reckless, even in the group with varying skill levels.
Room for improvement:
The session were an hour long....and in 97-deg heat, I lasted about 20-30 minutes at semi-race pace. Maybe 30 minute sessions on very hot days might benefit the crowd.
Overall:
Great experience with a solid faith-based trackday org that cares about its patrons and their experience!
Big thanks to Ignacio and his team, as well as my mentor, Cosmo! - 9/08/2020 Quian Key UpTown Jones
Another great weekend with you guys. Got a bit of rain and still had a blast and good laughs. Kier thanks for all the advice, Ignacio and the team of coaches were very helpful much appreciated

Did my first track day at the end of May, everyone was super helpful and nice that I had to come back! Just went for my second track day with 3:16 and my mentors, Kyle and Jason, were awesome! They’re both very knowledgeable and helped me progress with my skills and really took the time to give advice. These mentors will keep me coming back to 3:16 track days! Definitely recommend 3:16! - 8/10/2020
Helal Syed
Just wanted to give a shoutout to my two mentors Suneeta and Cliff. The experience each of them brought and was able to provide was phenomenal. Whether you were working on big picture things like learning the track and the line or the nitty gritty like which gear and RPMs you needed to be at, they were extremely helpful. The most helpful part was reviewing the video. Even though you think you're doing something right, chances are you weren't or weren't doing it as well as you thought you had been. Although my day was cut a bit short by the weather and the tumble I had, I learned a tremendous amount.
Looking forward to the next event! - 8/09/2020 Madison Jones
Five stars! Love this organization and all they do for the track community. They listen to the riders’ needs and go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Most importantly, it’s a safe environment with plenty of instructors, mentors, and family-like friends to help answer questions and improve your skills. - 7/17/2020

July 5th was my first time with 3:16 and first time at COTA and one of the best experiences ever!!
The 3:16 crew did an amazing job working through all of the ever fluid COVID changes in order to make it all happen.
The mentors were fantastic and always willing to work with you and share wisdom. Thank you Paul and Marquis for everything!!
I even went the extra mile and got my CMRA license.
There was always someone walking around handing out cold water and electrolytes keeping us hydrated. Food trucks and vendors were onsite which was a big bonus!
Thank you guys for everything and looking forward to MSRH. - 7/12/2020 Tim Dazey
Awesome support from all of 3:16 staff water, food and everything was top notch. I've already signed up for the next event at MSR, obviously I want more! My mentor was Fluffy and hands down he took me under his wing and picked up what I needed to work on. I left a completely different rider. On a scale the event was a 6 out of 5 and Fluffy was the same above my expectations.Very personal and left me feeling as though he really really cared about ME! That's not a trainer that's a friend for life. I'm down for 3:16 I'll be at every event you guys put on, you got a life time member. - 7/11/2020

Another great weekend at the track with 3:16 Track days at the world famous Circuit of the Americas!
I am continually impressed by the mentors/ staff that Ignacio Pedregon III and May Pedregon have selected. From the time I arrived to the time I left I was in awe of the dedication and effort that was put into the CotA weekend.
Every single time I happened across my mentors for the weekend ( Bobby Crandell and Steve Ebeling), the trainers in the cool down room, the folks who brought us riders water, and other stuff to stay hydrated, to Ignacio and May themselves, all had an infectious smile and uplifting attitude. Can’t say enough about how the attitudes and smiles displayed by them was appreciated by me.
The mentors I had ( don’t think there was a bad one ever involved with 3:16) were friendly, helpful and carried a very positive image of what a mentor should be. Bobby and Steve both showed a passion to watch, listen and discuss on what I wanted to work on. The focus they were able to dedicate to me because of the 4:1 ratio was incredible. Both days a plan was discussed on my goals and then executed. You have to love that.
I ended the weekend a whole lot more relaxed and consistent in my riding.
3:16 Track days and it’s ENTIRE lineup of mentors and staff, THANK YOU! Many have said it all ready, I am just going to say it again. This was a class act you put on display for us.

2nd track day ever and by far the best one. Small amount of people on track made it a faster and safer environment. Drinks were provided. Electrolyte tabs and popsicles were given to ensure everyone stayed hydrated. 316 did an amazing job running like a well oiled machine keeping everything on time. I had Patrick Ortega and Steven Shakespeare as mentors throughout the weekend. Both were amazing coaches who helped me find more time in various places throughout the track. The feedback and advice they gave me is invaluable! Because of these two guys I was able to drop into the 20’s at COTA with ease! If anyone wants to build confidence in themselves and get faster while having an absolute blast! 316 and these two guys are the best way to do it!

This was my 3rd time at COTA, 1st time with 3:16. Night. And. Day. I didn't have to hunt down an instructor or wait my turn for one because 3:16 GIVES you one AND puts them in the garage with you. it was extremely well organized, track times ran like a well oiled machine, all staff were incredibly helpful and all had a smile on their face. 3:16 even provided a cooldown room and had staff distributing water and electrolyte beverages to the garages regularly!
I'll absolutely sign up with and highly recommend 3:16 Track Days to anyone, and cannot WAIT for another day at COTA with this organization! - 7/08/2020 Derek Cunningham
Great mentors and just really good people. Got more COTA than I could handle (never thought that was possible). Riding structure and time was perfect. Mentors totally exceeded expectations. Had Ignacio the first day and there is not a better person to learn the track with. Next day moved on to Anthony Miller and COTA got real - real fast! Progressed more than I thought possible in one day, all while have insane fun. I still got my head up looking waaayyyy ahead while I type this. You guys are the best.

I normally don’t do track days, but I’ll if it’s with them. Long sessions, not overcrowded groups and they even get you drinks and refreshments.
Doing COTA with 3:16 is totally worth it. - 7/07/2020 Jason Harmon
I attended my first 3:16 event (@Circuit of the Americas) at the recommendation of some much more experienced riders.
I received personal attention from Ignacio leading up to the event regarding my issues, as well as a detailed set of emails that set excellent expectations. The event was really well thought out to address COVID, as well as general organization.
I was coached by Andy, and had huge breakthroughs in my pace and confidence on a number of areas. It was a real privilege to learn from such an experienced coach, I had all of my questions answered as well as very applicable feedback.
Most importantly, I got literally more track time than I could handle! I probably wouldn't have made it half the day without the cool shade provided by the garages, much better than a canopy in a parking lot in the TX summer sun! - 7/07/2020 Patton King
I had an awesome day at COTA with 3:16 Track Days. They are well organized and kept the day running smooth. I was able to get loads of track time and didn't feel rushed. The 30 minute sessions gave plenty of time to go around the track and the hour breaks between sessions helped me recoup my energy. I was able to ride all day and had great 1-on-1 coaching from a very knowledgeable rider @Jeff Foushee. He was very patient with me and captured video while following me around the track. We later discussed the video together to talk about how I could improve. I will definitely ride with these guys again! - 7/07/2020

We were a part of the July 5 and 6th America Superbike Camp at COTA put in by this fantastic organization. The track day was seamless, organized, well-instructed, and fun. I’ve been to COTA with other organizations and I can say, without hesitation or doubt, that this was run leaps and bounds better: low rider numbers on track, good coaching, clear instruction, adherence to rules, appropriate placement of riders in groups, abundant staff, etc. etc. etc.
I couldn’t recommend this organization more. - 7/07/2020 Dwight Hume
@circuitoftheamericas
Best TD ever!!! Such a fantastic experience. Every aspect of the 3:16 Trackdays was beautifully orchestrated. I have never felt such confidence, and zero pressure during a COTA TD. My mentor Andy was excellent. Gave me good advice, but also just let me ride and enjoy myself. Being a small business owner myself, for me the grand picture, down to the littlest minute details are extremely important. Well, 3:16 knocked it out of the park! With other TD Organizations, I often just feel like a number. With 3:16, I felt like I was around family. I highly recommend them, and looking forward to the next event!?? - 7/07/2020 Paul Mclaren
Absolutely awesome experience with 3:16 track days at COTA July 6th 2020. Paul Carter offered some great advice for a first time track rider and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I will be back on track with 3:16 at COTA if they setup some more dates! - 7/07/2020

All my rider friends agree it was the best event. Low stress. I believe having less people was a key to it. I am happy to pay more.
It was great!!!
Good job for you and your team.!!

I heard great things about this organization before I signed up, and after doing a track day here it is easy to say that this is the best track day organization in Texas.
The staff is courteous, respectful, and helpful. The mentors are experienced and intelligent and are willing to work with you. The ratio between mentors and Riders is better than anywhere else, and I have never felt more safe on the track before. Less people, more track time, and an overall better experience.
To top that off, this organization was part of a military appreciation event that displayed more generosity and kindness than I had ever seen before. I highly recommend these guys if you are considering doing the track day. You won't be sorry. - 7/07/2020 Andrew Hernandez
Very well organized event! Being at the best racetrack in America is one thing; being with a group that is well organized is another. They were able to take the experience next level. Look forward to many more track days! - 7/07/2020

And if you have never attended a trackday THIS is the organization for you to try out!!! 5 starts from me!! - 7/07/2020

The July 4th 3:16 Track Days superbike camp COTA was the most fun I’ve ever had on track. It was well organized and thoughtfully executed. An especially nice touch was staff members proactively bringing participants and guests ice cold refreshments in the garages. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed (not high-strung or formal) and the staff were very personable. My mentor, Damien, was immensely helpful, and really made the day valuable for me as I advanced significantly. Thank you to everyone involved!

When I saw 3:16 Trackdays open up at Circuit of the Americas #COTA , I knew I had to attend. I LITERALLY bought my entrance tickets BEFORE I had a sportbike! LOL! To ME..... the education and experience were just as important as the fancy bike. Ignacio even helped me in the right direction of my next motorcycle before the event!
I am brand new to the track, and I had heard such great things about this group, that I knew they would take care of me. They did this VERY WELL, and they were excellent at keeping a lot of testosterone of the group in line WHILE letting them loose without unnecessary restrictions!
Ignacio and May are special people, and they accommodated my needs. I'm forever grateful to them for my first track experience. (I still can't believe it was at COTA! )
My Mentor on my first day, Jonathan Thayer, was patient, and knew exactly what to do to get me started safely and properly! Awesome video too! My second day was with Paul at Sportbike Repair out of San Antonio. So insightful, guiding, and knowledgeable. I couldn't have been in better hands for my first track day!
Thank you 3:16! - 7/07/2020 Christian Anne
Went with Husband to COTA this past weekend for a track day organized by 3:16 Trackdays. I was very impressed with how organized and well run this event was. Health and safety protocols were followed and constantly reminded through out the days. Everyone was super friendly and you can tell they all have a true love of the sport. The riders were respectful and fun and the volunteers made sure no one was dehydrated. COTA has first-rate facilities and the entire experience was so much fun. We would definitely recommend signing up with 3:16 Trackdays for any event. - 7/07/2020

First track day with 3:16 at COTA. Just a phenomenal atmosphere. Have done COTA before with other orgs and this is hands down the best I have experienced. Below are pros and cons so u can decide for yourself :).
Pros
Crisp clear communication with maps.
Great coaches and coach to student ratio.
Coaches give great input (Kyle Mallett).
Very friendly atmosphere
Chill room was NEEDED for me to survive so amazing coordinations there.
Great protocols during COVID with folks re-enforcing mask protocol
30 min run them each session
Cons
Maybe too many emails 🙂 haha..
So u can between the pro and cons ..it’s only logical that I would go with them again 🙂

COTA 2020 was out of site. Best track day I have ever done. Jeff Foushee was great and I learned a ton! Every track day I do with 3:16 is amazing. If you haven't done one, you're missing out. So much track time. Excellent instruction. Far less than crowded. Throttle Therapy is the best. - 7/07/2020 Duke Reidster
Very well run organization, organized Track Days, maximum track time, safely run. The organizer Ignacio and May Pedigrone are a great family, fellow riders, and very dedicated to making your experience a memorable one. We just finished a COTA weekend and I have to say it was the best track day event I ever attended by far. Great coaching by mentors also did my CMRA certification, this was the first one done at COT by them from what I understand, on the 4th of July they ran a track day session for Active Duty military. Great organization here, highly supportive of Vets and Mil, highly recommend them. Look at their schedule and join for some great track time experience. - 7/07/2020
Rich Overton
Great organization from top to bottom. Easily the best track day I have ever been too at MSRC, MSRH, and now COTA. A completely relaxed, no pressure event. Mentors for every level from slow (like me) to expert CMRA/MotoAmerica riders with teacher to student ratios of 4 to 1 (usually less). If you want to get better as a rider, or just come out and have fun, this is the organization to do it with. Less crowded and longer sessions make these events worth every penny. - 7/07/2020
Emily Trotta
First trackday with 3:16 and experienced 3 days at COTA.... and it was the best track weekend I have ever had!
A real family setting, filled with good energy, they make sure you are hydrated and doing okay.
Very organized and so many 1 on 1 experienced instructors.
Also lots of time to relax between sessions and lots of time to ride during the sessions!
Will definitely do another with them! - 7/07/2020 Johnson Michael
Great people. They went above and beyond to help make the July 4th event the best time ever. - 7/06/2020
Priscilla Anthony Mulheron
Best track day experience in Texas!! - 7/05/2020
Dex Lester
First time with 3:16, plenty of track time, good schedule, limited numbers on track makes for a safer, more enjoyable day. I did the track day and didn't have mentor time but Sean (sp.) was friendly, offered advice and helped with line selection. Will sign up again when they are back in my area. Well done. - 6/16/2020
Corey Taylor
Awesome day Sunday with 3:16 trackdays. Tried to pick up some speed from Doug Frenchak! Thanks for the help! - 6/15/2020
Sebas Felice
I did MSR Cresson on June 7th - 5/5 stars! Cannot recommend this organization enough to both beginner track riders and experienced/expert level riders. I have done multiple Trackdays in California- Chuckwalla, Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Adams Kart Track, Apex Racing Center etc, with multiple organizations, and while those experiences were great, I’ve never had an organization care so much for safety, instruction and development for riders of all levels. The staff are full of licensed racers from AMA, CMRA, MotoAmerica and more. At no point did I find myself in ‘traffic’ on track and it was not hard to safely pass if there were a few slower riders in front. The amount of riders on track and instructor to rider ratio (about 1 instructor per 3 riders) the price is more than fair. Had a fantastic experience and I definitely will be back again soon! - 6/12/2020
Liz Jensen
My first experience with 3:16 Trackdays was this weekend and it's hard to put into words how fun, encouraging and safe it was. I left the weekend thinking "This is how trackdays should be!". My mentor David Aue was extremely knowledgeable and a great teacher. Highly recommend! A big thank you Ignacio Pedregon III, Myong Yu Pedregon, Kyle Mallett, Rob Green and others for helping me learn so much and also making me feel so welcome. I highly recommend 3:16 Trackdays for both newer riders as well as experienced folks. - 6/12/2020
Jake d'Fonseca
Man oh man, how do you put one of the best weekends of your life into words? I run a lot of car HPDE’s but I’ve never come across such a helpful/friendly group of mentors than with 3:16. Jeff, Rob, Shakespeare, and Pops all were very skilled riders and taught me more in one weekend than I ever thought was possible. I planned to ride part of one day and ended up riding the whole weekend. Ignacio and his wife run a very organized event and are always around if you have any issues. My only complaint is I should of done this years ago. If your on the fence about booking an event... DO IT! - 6/12/2020
Robert Wyper
Another homerun event. Though we had some unexpected rain, spirits we're high and we got in some solid sessions. I was nervous to be paired with Eddie Thornton as a mentor being he holds the track lap record but he squashed my nerves quick. he was 100% spot on with what I needed from the 1st session, and answered all my questions before I asked them. Helped me break some barriers to make me a safer and faster rider. See you guys next go around! - 6/10/2020
Shannon Erickson
Yes very organized and stayed on schedule. People knew what is tolerated and not. Everyone I rode around stayed in Track Day mode.
David Felio was awesome!! Showed me the way around and spent time with me on and off the track. Explained the line and how it set up the next turn. Many Thanks David - 6/09/2020 Joe Sveum
Low rider numbers really helps with traffic and the number of mentors really helps ensure that riders are placed in the correct groups. had a blast at my first trackday with them and the structure is pretty nice so im not feeling rushed early in the morning with the first advanced group out at 10am. - 6/09/2020
Rohan Dawra
Had a great time @ Cresson! Rob Green was a great mentor that actually took his time and showed us how to go faster, safely! Will be back again! - 6/09/2020
Jarrett Hinds
Just wanted to say thanks to my mentor, Tony Miller, for working with me at Cresson on June 7th. He did a great job balancing between faster and slower students. He was very positive and had a bunch of useful tips and info. Also, he helped me with an incident I had on the track that I really appreciated. - 6/09/2020
Patrick Pita
Great track day with great instructors especially Kyle Mallett. Long sessions mean for lots of good feed back from your mentor. - 6/09/2020
Mark Jensen
Do you get that feeling at some track days of being rushed all the time? You are in a rush to register. You are in a rush after the riders meeting to either go to class or to get dressed to get on the track in 5 minutes. You are rushed to get to class after your session. It seems like the whole day is rushed and you never get to relax and enjoy the experience. We had a different experience this past weekend. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable track day yet. Not only that but I was taught by some of the best riders in Texas. Steve Steven Shakespeare was my mentor, Paul Carter and Art Fonseca did the explaining on the track walk and Rob Green checked in on us and answered any question we had. David Aue was my wife's mentor and he also checked in on me. The only complaint that I had all day was that I am not in good enough shape to take advantage of all the track time that was allotted me. Steven Shakespeare wore me out. I had to take a break. Thanks to everyone, we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend 3:16 Trackdays to any rider with any skill level. See you at the races! - 6/09/2020
Les Heather York
If you truly want to improve your riding skills in a low stress environment, you have to go do a 3:16 trackday! Each trackday I leave a better rider. All instructors are excellent! I've worked with Sean, Marquis and David. Big thanks to my instructor yesterday at Cresson, David Aue! David helped me learn some great lines and fine tune my body position! - 6/09/2020
Trent Pope
Wanted to thank 316trackdays for a great time at msr Cresson this weekend. I learned a few things and improved my lap time a little. This is a great organization that gives you a lot of track time. If you haven't done a 316 track day, YOU SHOULD! - 6/08/2020
Chris Warren
I highly recommend 3:16 trackdays. I have signed up for multiple events the past year with them. Looking forward to COTA track day in July. If you not have signed up for this track day, you should. - 5/31/2020
Fred Hubnik
Great, innovative format. Never felt so relaxed, safe, and productive at a track day. Mentors are excellent and gave some of the best advice I've ever received. Going forward, 3:16 will certainly be my go to track day org in Texas. Thanks to all that work so hard to put this together. - 5/27/2020
Tyler Allison Fisher
By far the best time I have ever had at COTA. Great event. Amazing reinvestment on your part with the drinks and cool down spot. The food was awesome. Truly awesome experience. We will be doing it again....and again @circuitoftheamericas - 5/26/2020
Daniel Valverde
I had my First TD experience yesterday and I couldnt ask for more! The session is long enough for me to take a break then go back out again. The numbers of students to a mentor is amazing 4-1. I received some wonderful feedbacks from Jason ( my mentor for the day).
HUGE THANKS to 316 for willing to cover costs for interpreter ( Im deaf) for me. That made my first experience MUCH better than I expected too. I cant wait for July 6th! Thanks again!! - 5/26/2020 Angel Garcia
I had been hearing about the hype over how good 316 trackdays was. i finally gave it a try and they surpassed every expectation. Past track days with other organizations left me wanting more seat time, and very little feedback per session, and having to pit often due to being overcrowded.
316's schedule and structure eliminates every complaint I've had in the past. My instructor Kyle made sure to give every one in our group great feedback EVERY session ..not used to that at all! I told him what my focus was day, and by the end of the day I had a much better understanding thanks to him.
TL;DR - if you are wondering who to pick to spend your time with on the track, choose 316 if they are available because:
1 - exponentially more seat time.
2 - exponentially more feedback from mentors.
3 - A lot less crowded. - 5/26/2020 Roddy Spring
Rob Green did an excellent job...very knowledgable - 1/08/2020

Brian Millsap
Love these guys. True lovers of the sport and of the people. They're not all about money. They're all about making you a better, safer, faster rider. And their coaches.....they are literally the fasted guys around. And they care about you. I've ridden with groups from California to Florida and everywhere in between. These guys are by far the best. - 10/04/2019
Dom Quindara
Did my first track day on labor day weekend at Cresson’s 1.3. The staff/mentors at 3:16 trackdays were friendly and were a great help. The 1hr sessions seemed to last forever! Had enough time to do two twenty minute sessions and a 20min break in between. I highly recommend these guys if you are looking to do a track day. It was a blast and I can’t wait for 2020! - 10/01/2019
Grant Nibel
Lots of seat time. No rushing for class or bike prep. The track is the classroom! - 9/12/2019
Dio Barroga
I highly recommend to anyone the 3:16 mentorship program, either "love to ride" or "respect the craft". They will pair you up with a mentor and you get a lot seat time. They paired me with an amazing mentor David Aue. He gave great feed back on things I needed to work on and he helped me work on them throughout the day. Even thought there were 3 other students he was able to individually mentor and critique each of us. And as busy as he was, he constantly checked up on me making sure I was doing ok throughout the day. It's a very fun track with amazing mentors that you will feel you got your money's worth! I am hooked! My future endeavors are to come back to this program and track as many times as I can! - 9/08/2019
Joshua Hardin
First of all, an openly faith based company ran by a team that truly cares about the sport and the community around it. With the mission of helping everyone improve they organize the schedule in hour long increments to reduce staging time and stress levels. Small groups allow for a lot of personalized coaching from expert club racers and even national level racers. You will have FUN. - 9/08/2019
Juan Daniel Reynoso
Participated in my first 3:16 Trackday on labor day. The staff and mentors where stacked and the flow of operations was professional. I cant wait to return. - 9/06/2019
Louis Caldwell
So this was my first track day. My budy and I decided to take up this great hobby. I was so impressed with the feel of the experience. it was like a group of guys and girls said "let's go to the track". Our mentors were knowledgeable and thorough. They pulled no punches for the sake of our growth. The consistent communication from Ignocio, felt welcoming. Arriving, I knew what the day was going to Intel. I can't wait until the next event. - 9/03/2019
- Alain Guembes
? Awesome !!!!’n
try it once. You will be hook. - 9/03/2019 Wes Webb
Great organization run by great people. A place to learn and grow as a rider where you are treated as an individual person, not a number. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for this organization. - 9/03/2019
Patrick Patton
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 - 8/20/2019
Harly Aguilar
I had a great time with 3:16 Trackdays, really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and lots of track time. Ignacio will send plenty of information in the days leading to the event so you're prepared for each location. Looking forward to more adventures at the track. - 8/15/2019
Collin Wu
The open format 316 track days provides is a great environment to improve your skills with the help of their leadership.
One of the rules has stuck with me since I read it and that is “what is there to prove? Nothing”
We all ride sports bikes and we all know they are fast. The focus of the day is to improve your skills and go home safe so we can all come back and do it again. - 8/15/2019 Russell Robertson
Just nice. Staff is attentive, atmosphere is laid back. - 8/10/2019
Greg Bosley
Great format and experience...I’ll be going again. - 8/09/2019
Lance Catchings
I have been riding sport bikes since 2009 but had never experienced the track until the MSRH event on 8/3/19 and I am so thankful my first trackday was with 3:16 Trackdays. I actually won the track day at a TXSR kickoff event so that made the experience even more special. For a first time track rider I couldn’t have asked for a better organization to learn the ropes. From the drop off the night before to the check in the next day and the on/off track coaching my entire experience is one I’ll never forget. I actually roped in another street riding buddy of mine and we can’t wait to go back to MSRH for the event in September. Ignacio has put together a first class organization that I would recommend to anyone, but especially those who are new to the track experience. - 8/09/2019
Phillip Edwards
3:16 provides a safe and fun atmosphere to get on the track. Great ratio of students to mentors, few restrictions on passing. Great organization! - 8/09/2019
Christian Noll
Did my first 3:16 track day at MSRH last weekend. Great experience, it was safe but relaxed, low numbers on track and tons of track time. That’s truly a winning combination in my book.. I’ll be back for sure! - 8/09/2019
Robert Wyper
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. - 8/09/2019
Robert Wotring
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. - 8/09/2019
Sean Michael
Awesome people! Great instruction! So much fun! If you haven't done a track day with them yet, DO IT!!! - 8/09/2019
Joey Bocanegra
I usually dont do reviews but this experience was just so awesome. the staff is so proffesional and helpful. definitely was able to learn quite a bit and felt like the perfect trackday organization for both a beginner and a experiences rider. the environment was so much more different. everyone was willing to help in any way possible. ignacio definitely went above and beyond to help me out with my track day experience. he offers you friendship and a experience like no other track day organization. this guy is really for the people like you and I. making sure the people get what they want. 3:16 has my business 100%.
adding to my post. I just had a track day September 2nd. and since March 31 on my crash I have been having issues with my confidence in corners. I was afraid of hitting any corner. but thanks to my instructor ben hunter I gained so much confidence. he knew the things to say and saw where I needed work. even after the track maybe reaches out and helps me with my mental block and helps me with so much advice. and still made time for his other students. probably the best instructor in ignacios arsenal. - 8/09/2019 Jessie Ramirez
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! - 8/08/2019 Sean Little
MSR Houston was my first track day event and it was really fun. The mentoring for new riders is excellent. After the mentors spent their time helping me to understand the track and the lines it became apparent how to ride on the track and it was fun. Many thanks to Jason and Ignacio for their patience with a beginner. The whole experience was good and i look forward to another track day down the road. Thanks to Ignacio and his group for their great organization. - 8/07/2019
Michael S. Farnel
316 track days is so awesome!
We had a downpour that swamped the track this past weekend out at MSRH. was past my ankles in some spots!??
The 316 team was so understanding that they decided to run till 7pm to make up for the lost time! ❤❤
I've never seen an organization that puts in so much time, understanding, help, and forethought to their programs to give each one of the riders showing up the best environment to succeed.
Are wanting to improve your skills in every day riding track or street? They have some of the best mentors to help you where you want to be.
Are looking for the most seat time you can get your hands on? They have 30min to an hour (YES! you read that correct. Hour!!! ?) depending on track and course you want to take.
Are you wanting a fun environment to get out and try the track? 316 has one of the most relaxed, ride your time environments I've ever experienced in my 5 years riding the track.
Join the 316 track day team at one of the tracks. You'll be glad you did.
From me and so many others, we can't thank everyone at 316 enough for everything that you do for us! Can't wait to get out there with everyone again! ? - 8/07/2019 James Robertson
A no-nonsense trackday organization that provides the most bang for your buck... Longer track sessions with experienced mentors who actually race in current regional and national championships... Be surrounded by people who have a true passion for this sport and provide you with the necessary tools to advance to top level riding... On-site vendors who can help you dial in your motorcycle to make the most of your day at the racetrack... 3:16 Trackdays is now my preferred organization when getting in motorcycle track time! - 8/07/2019
Ruben Perez
GREAT MENTORS, 3 GOLDEN RULES = MAXIMUM TRACK TIME, SMALL NUMBERS SO NO OVERCROWDING TRACK, Ignacio Pedregon III IS COOL TO BEGIN WITH AND ACTUALLY RIDING ON TRACK WITH HIM AND SEEING HIS PASSION AND LOVE FOR THE SPORT FEELS MORE LIKE A TRACK DAY WITH THE HOMIES. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE! - 8/06/2019
David Aue
3:16 really puts on a great event. The mentality of this organization is very unique and results in an exceptional track experience. I have attended 3 of their events this year and the courteousness of the staff and their philosophy of the Golden Rule really makes a difference keeping the track open for max ridding time. The smaller groups I think make a big difference in keeping everyone calm and allowing for true learning. If you get a chance to attend a mentor day, don't miss it! Ignacio Pedregon III and his wife really go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. I look forward to attending many more of their events! Thanks 3:16! - 8/06/2019
Ramiro Garcia
3:16 track days put on an awesome event at MSR. Ignacio is one of a kind, he personally helped me get the right gear i needed for the track day. I was able to work with his mentor Jason and learned a lot and had plenty of track time. Thank you all for an amazing experience! A+++ - 8/06/2019
Carlos Dubon
My brother, my friend and I we went for our first time at MRSH thru 3:16 with Ignacio Pedregon and it was an such amazing experience with you guys.
You care about us and exceed our expectations about it. Treat me no only like customer, also like a friend riding with them.
Everything totally organized and well trained for it. Super smooth checking, inspection and orientation for the track.
Now I see why a lot people told me go thru 3:16. I recommended 100% and I will ride with them again.
Thanks Ignacio - 8/06/2019 James Compean
lots of track time. mentors are super helpful and the format provides plenty of attention. always enjoy 316trackdays - 8/06/2019

Very nice and helpful people everywhere you turn. Everyone was so kind and approachable. I Can’t say enough good things about it! Had such a blast with 3:16 track days. Can’t wait until the next event and looking forward to it already. - 8/05/2019
Thao Melanie Vo-Pham
An amazing experience...very organized from pre-track prep emails to post track follow-up. Personalized instruction from your mentor on and off the track. Since I did both days, Aug 3 & 4, and though it’s not my first time doing track, I was able to really grasp the advice from my instructor and utilize it on the track. I highly recommend 3:16 Trackdays for your first time on the track, you will be totally bitten by the track bug! - 8/05/2019
Ben Hunter
I never do reviews but this organization is definitely worth doing it for the first time. 3:16 Trackdays are by far the best way to get faster and have more seat time. They offer quality over quantity, meaning less people on track = safer and little to no down time due to overcrowding. They have race proven mentors not control riders, trust me there is a different ?. My racing has greatly improved this year thanks to their mentors and top notch trackside suspension/tire support. Definitely best bang for your buck even if you are a beginner and never ridden a track or an experienced racer. Thank you 3:16 for being there for our sport, we definitely needed this in our area. - 8/05/2019
Hai Yee Chen
Had an amazing time at MSRH. Ignacio and his team really did a superb job. The 30min and 1hr sessions gives you more than enough time on the track without feeling rushed. But they are killer on your cardio if you're pushing yourself (at least for me), definitely need to up my cardio game. Met some really chill people and everyone was friendly and I felt comfortable right away. First track day in over 5 years and first ever in Texas. Looking forward to the next one and much more to come! I've only had experiences in NJ way back in the day, but it's not every day you find someone like Ignacio who makes the track day feel like it's about us riders and not their bottom line. ?? - 8/05/2019

down to earth riders giving back to the sport to teach new comers!!! Top Knotch!!! - 6/26/2019
Kyle Mallett
with my work schedule it is hard to schedule a track day but I was finally able to make a trackday with 3:16. it was great! rider's meeting didn't trail off and take 2 hours, track wasn't overly packed and the 3:16 workers all made sure we had a great time. Ignacio's wife had electrolyte tablets and ensured everyone was hydrating and they even had the air conditioner on in the reg room to go in between sessions. - 6/09/2019
Andy Rutkus
The June event was my first time riding with 3:16 Trackdays. I cant say enough good things about the experience. The most track time ive ever had at a track-day and not over crowded. I witnessed Ignacio Pedregon III and his wife going to nearly every, if not all riders at some point during the day and making sure they were doing well in the heat and if they needed a hand with anything. Very professional, very friendly and definitely would recommend as your go to track-day org. - 6/06/2019
Kasey Lewis
I won’t recommend a product unless I’ve tried it, so I tried it. These guys put on a good trackday, all of the staff is friendly and helpful, it’s well organized and well run. I like the most current format of 30 min sessions, 3 groups, which is what I tried. They have skilled control riders for all levels. It’ll the girds were not so heavily packed there were crashes every session, or unsafe conditions on track. Good for all levels of track skill, so give them your money and go ride! - 6/04/2019
Diego Moya
Great time with multiple coaches available for advice! Hydrate and prepare yourself mentally/physically for the heat. Definitely will attend many more! - 6/03/2019
Jackie Vu
I was a first timer at the track and I couldn't be happier with the setup at 3:16 Trackdays. It was relaxed, friendly, and everyone was polite both on and off the track. I was worried going into it, but a mentor picked me up right away and helped me through the first few sessions. It wasn't too crowded, and I never felt unsafe. I had an excellent time and will be coming back! - 6/03/2019
Tamara B Smith
Tagged along with a friend for the ‘Test and Train’ day, 6/1/19. Beyond expectations! As a new rider (less than 1 year), this is the best quality track time I’ve had since I’ve been in the seat. Advanced/Expert riders were saying the same. Total of five focused 30-min sessions with instruction and feedback. Made some big gains, and will definitely be back for more. Highly recommended! - 6/02/2019
Joaquin Rodriguez
The hospitality was great, made feel like I was at home! Definitely recommend going here. - 6/02/2019
Jeremiah Reidy
Great group of people, riders, coaching, management of the event was well run , on a schedule so you dont miss any sessions because you could not understand the loudspeakers, pointers given by other riders were spot on, very humble group, very skilled riders. Ignacio and wife were very nice. Lots of track time. - 6/02/2019
Oba De
This is the trackday to go to if you need a lot of seat time and less traffic. Very organized too and I personally loved how we started the whole day with a prayer. - 6/02/2019
Lawrence Vu
Today was my first time at this trackday, it was the best even I’ve attended. Friendly atmosphere, and they really show that they care. Very well organized , and I highly recommend that you attend a 3:16 trackday - 6/02/2019

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! - 5/30/2019

I have ridden with 3 different TD orgs now and this one far outpaces the rest. From the courteous riders to the professional instructors, I had a great time and learned so, so much. Plus, 4 HOURS of track time!
Try this program out. The extra few bucks are well worth it. - 5/29/2019 Alistair Lane
Very well run with a relaxed atmosphere. The track walk gave really good advice from top notch riders providing their personal perspective. Mentors were great providing tips to improve my riding tailored to me. 4 hours of seat time with no classes and limited numbers of riders made for a fantastic day! - 5/28/2019

IP and his crew have a great thing going - lots of seat time, great instructors with an awesome instructor:student ratio, all the usual support vendors (and then some) - can't ask for more. Looking forward to the next 3:16 trackday!
I will say, for anyone who might be concerned about the 3:16 aspect - there is a prayer at the rider's meeting but that is it. No sermons or required church. Just lots of awesome people putting down fast laps. Come check it out! - 5/28/2019 Justin McMurry
Signed up for 3:16 track days in March at cresson, not really knowing what to expect. Once arriving I was greeted by and pointed in the right direction by their staff. Who was very very friendly! The organization is absolutely awesome! The 1hour sessions seemed a bit daunting, but actually turned out really nice! It allowed you plenty of time to work on whatever you were trying to improve on, but also gave you plenty of time in the pits between sessions without feeling rushed. I believe they are changing it to 45min now which I feel will be perfect. Having a very low instructor to rider ratio also was a huge plus! The instructors were fantastic and were there whenever you needed them. Personally my favorite thing about this organization, was what it stands behind. Which isn’t for everyone, but I really enjoyed it! Definitely recommend 3:16, and I will be doing a lot more TDs with them! - 5/07/2019

3:16 has a great product. The usefulness of the track time surpasses any other track day organization. The hour long sessions allow plenty of time to get feedback from your mentor and then go back out immediately and work on that feedback.
The 4:1 mentor to student ratio is great as well. Very personalized feedback. I had a MotoAmerica racer giving me valuable feedback that immediately dropped my lap times on the subsequent laps.
The limited number of slots is also great. No need to be fighting traffic while working around the track. The slight increase in cost is worth the limited roster.
3:16 is a new organization, they are dedicated to customers and strive to deliver a great product. Everyone was great off the track and respectful on the track. In their first official track day, they nailed it. You will not be disappointed with 3:16. - 3/25/2019 Ryan Tucker
I've been to 5 trackdays in the last two years. I started working with Jorge, my mentor, from the start of the day (I found him at 7am!). I knew what my two goals were for the day and we worked on those extensively. He would find me on the track, take the lead, then follow, then we would pull over and talk. I got plenty of attention from my mentor and we did not feel "rushed". I was concerned about the 1hr sessions, but they grew on me. I got all the seat time I could handle and was worn out by the end of the last session. The main difference from the prior trackdays was the more "loose format" which allowed for more time to focus on your skills, rather than where you have to be every 5 minutes. There is a large gap in skillset for the Love to Ride group, but as long as your patient, the herd thins out quickly and you will have a lot of the track to yourself. Definitely going to be at another one of their trackdays. - 3/22/2019

I have attended track day events with a half dozen organizers. 3:16 was hands down the best. The hour long sessions are perfect for developing skills and the hour downtime allows time interact with mentors, rest and meet new people. A track day organizer that makes everyone feel welcome. - 3/22/2019

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. - 3/21/2019 Brian Zortman
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. - 3/20/2019
Peter Harford
Done about 60+ trackdays since 2001. Excellent experience and excellent instructors. I was matched with Zach as he was also riding a Tuono. The high instructor to participants meant for a more one on one experience and targeted approach to areas you wish to work on. A+. - 3/20/2019

This was one of the best track days I have ever been to. Well organized, safe and fast. The seat time was remarkable. - 3/20/2019

Thank you Ignacio and all the Mentors, fantastic track day! - 3/20/2019

Ignacio and his wife are both riders who love the sport. Committed to promoting and building a safe respectful experience in both street and track riding. That commitment is clearly first and foremost here for 3:16 Trackdays, which helps maximize track time by keeping rider numbers low and respect for others at a maximum, keeping time off the track from crashes at a minimum, which helps you focus on the things you want to work on, be it getting better or just enjoying a day on the track. The scheduled for the day never felt rushed and in all the years I have done track days. The level of respect I saw riders giving others on the track was higher than I have ever seen before. Which made the day exceptional. A lot of work goes into putting these on, your time and commitment is very much appreciated. Thank you! - 3/20/2019

This is the track day org that is for riders, designed by riders. Everyone involved was great. You can really tell their main focus is not profit, but to create a great rider focused experience for everyone. I had a great time at Cresson, received valuable feedback from my coach, and felt an environment of respect and mutual love for the sport the entire day. - 3/20/2019

316 was my first trackday, I was a bit nervous on what to expect, especially with not knowing anyone there. Everything from start to finish quickly put that worry at ease. I felt like it was real riders there, not just some organization taking my money for a slot. I was assigned a mentor named Marquis to improve my skills, and was perfect. The best part however, other mentors also guided me without me even asking, gave me pointers from a different perspective. That truely shows how much care, quality, and quantity at which 316 provides. A concern of mines was not having enough time to ride and enjoy the track, feeling rushed through the day. The hour long on the track was perfect, gives you time to actually work on quite a few things, get feedback and try it again, before 1 session is over. Another good rule I ended up loving is passing. There are no rules to passing EXCEPT, pass with respect. I found myself wanting to pass at certain parts of the track normally NOT allowed through other organizations. Even though is not in my sight, it does give you the passing experience if you decide to race. I'm not trying to convience anyone to pick them, just stating my experience. I had a great time, already booking my next with 316 trackdays. I guess the only thing else to say is... lets ride! Hope see everyone back out. - stay safe - 3/20/2019

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? - 1/06/2019

Double the time on track and nobody really crashes, worth the money. Make sure your fitness is good to take advantage. - 12/14/2018
Bobbi Rogers
I participated in an event at Harris Hill and it was my 2nd time on track period. While I attended an intro class at the same track previously, my 3:16 track day was so much more helpful and useful. I learned more about proper track riding in that one day than in successive track days with other organizations. They run a tight class, with clearly defined track and class sessions. The instructors are all very qualified, friendly and super helpful, I wouldn't be anywhere near as safe or fast on track without that track day from 3:16 - 12/13/2018
Austin Pressy
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!!!!! - 12/12/2018 Dan Meehan
Open lesson plan. Great resource if you want to learn something specific or just discover your limits. - 10/30/2018
