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

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!

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!!!

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. -

Had plenty of time on the track. Everything ran some and no idiots on the track.

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!

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!!

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.
