3:16 Trackdays! A Texas Motorcycle Track Day and America Superbike Camp
- 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.

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! - 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.

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!

Awesome people! Great instruction! So much fun! If you haven't done a track day with them yet, DO IT!!!

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!

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!

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. - 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!
