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

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! - Josh Stiles
3:16 puts on an amazing event even during a pandemic. Small group riders meetings, 3 to 1 mentors who actually want to help you get better (thank you Paul Garcia) and an amazing opportunity to get your CMRA license at a MotoGP track! It was one of the best days I’ve ever had on two wheels. Thank you to Igancio and May, your family and all the staff. Please keep it up.

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!

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! - Jordan Gonzales
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!

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!
- Shaun Accardo
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. - 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.

great people and a lot of good track time! definitely recommend from new riders to experienced racers!
