Track days?

dangerz · 06-26-2015, 11:51 PM

Anyone planning on doing a track day this year? RideSmart is the only school I know of that does MSR Cresson, and they have September and November dates. I'm not sure if I'm going to do both or just one.

APEX is a regular at MSRC. You can also catch classes at BMWCCA, PCA and Merc/Audi CCA. DRivers Edge also hosts events there. I used to really appreciate the Apex format.

All those schools do motorcycles? I've done car track days with a few of them, but I was looking to do a motorcycle track day now.

Oh crap. Sorry. I saw this thread on the new posts and didn't realize it was bikes. No...I don't think any of them do bikes, so never mind. I should have know with the ridesmart reference.

haha it's all good man. I was hoping you were right in that they did and I was just grossly misinformed. That would've opened up a lot more potential track days for me!

I'm a little late to this thread but the MSRC calender is the best place to see when track days are occurring for bikes.

The two other organizations that I can think of off the top of my head other than RideSmart are Extreme Motorsports Trackdays and Lone Star Trackdays.

Extreme Motorsports Trackdays: These guys usually have very light staff and don't do all the bells and whistles you see from RideSmart like free lunch, water, mandatory class for level 1&2, etc. As a result, their fees are generally lower than RideSmart also. It basically feels like an open trackday which I like.Link

Lone Star Trackdays: These are going to be the Friday before a CMRA race weekend. Level 3 will be packed with CMRA racers and there might be some overflow into level 2. These guys generally have higher prices than anybody; as if racing wasn't expensive enough already. Link

Lone Star Track Days is at MSRC on Friday August 21st, $150/day.

Extreme is hosting a track day at MSRC on September 20th, $100/day.
