How'd we do?

Just wanted to pass you a quick note to say thanks for the great trackdays
last weekend (July 14th and 15th at MAM)! I rode with you guys last year a few times, had a decent time (would have been great, but I was going so slow, trying to learn the track and the bike). This year, I rode with NESBA five times, mostly because it worked with my
schedule and also because I had a buddy with me who didn't have any track
experience. I hate NESBA's format!! People telling me what to do all the
time. Somehow they make track riding into a job - always criticizing,
interfering, just being a pain. Anyways, after doing NESBA and coming back to TrackAddix, I appreciate TrackAddix that much more! I have my bike straightened out and know enough
about track riding to really go out and have a good time, and your format
allows that. Going away, then coming back, really gives perspective!! So, kudos to you and your staff for putting on a great event. Steve Browning
I would like to let you know that this past Memorial Day weekend was one I'll remember for a long time. The races were thrilling, the announcer was well versed and active -it really made for a great race weekend. Thanks so much, you have a lot to be proud of in this successful accomplishment -great job. The smoothness in the operation shows you're clearly climbing the learning curve at a brisk pace. Additionally finishing out the weekend with your trackday was indeed a climatic finale. I thought the pace of the morning and afternoon sessions went very well. Several of us up from Manhattan, KS had a fantastic time! I do however look forward with great anticipation to the upcoming "no sessions" at MAM over the July 4th weekend. Without question the 'set your own pace and duration' afforded by the "no sessions" is unparalleled. It has been a pleasure attending your trackdays, I look forward to attending your race school within the next year and participating in races next season. I got to meet many of your crew and instructors and I am very impressed with all of their friendly and engaging manners; while camping out there this weekend I always felt welcome. Thanks again! All the best - and of course the very BEST WISHES for your expected addition!! Michael Diller
- I justed wanted to drop you a line and say that the Road America
6/9/05 trackday event FAR exceeded expectations (which were quite high). It
was my first time ever attending a TrackAddix's event. The No-Session
format was unbelievable. I am now officially 'spoiled'. I have attended trackdays with a number of other groups, but I will say that no trackday event even remotely compares to a TrackAddix / No-Session trackday.
It appears to me that guys actually seem to ride with even more control,
care, and consideration at your event than at the
'regular format' trackdays. I am sure that the reason is clear to you
(although I've had to explain it to 'previous' skeptics): With a 'regular
trackday event', a guy is fighting the clock and other riders to make sure
that he 'gets his monies' worth. On the other hand, with the No-Session
event there is no such pressure to 'get in all the laps that you can'.
I would only request that you PLEASE do your best to bring your events to
the Blackhawk / Autobahn / Gingerman / Putnam / Road America courses next

- I attended your track day at RA last week and had the time of my life!
This was the second Trackaddix track day I've been to after participating in many that were put on by another great sponsor and I want to tell you that I think you guys put on a super event. I've found the "no sessions" format to be safe and enjoyable and I'm sure I'll attend many more of your events in the future. Thank you very much for all of your time and effort in giving all of us "sport riders" the chance to ride on these great tracks! Keep up the great work! I wish you guys the best in the years to come!

- Had a real blast rippn' up the track at MAM. The no session thing is so cool, being able to ride with all the guys whenever we wanted to was great! We are all looking forward to the next get together with TrackAddix. Dean and Kim you did a wonderful job!! Thanks again from the NoDak Gang.

- I just wanted to take a moment and express my thanks for your initiative in promoting your no-session track days. The no-session format is the way to go. It was wonderful to set my own schedule for the day. At the same time I got the opportunity to run laps for an extended period of time, which is important for me. At one point during the day I had an unscheduled mechanical downtime of about 2 hours. I still had significantly more track time than I would have gotten in a scheduled sessions format. Thanks also for getting some of the riders together and giving them the opportunity to walk parts of the track over the lunch hour. That tells me volumes on your desire to help riders improve their skills and overall track experience.
Everyone respected each other's riding ability. I think it's very beneficial for some of the less experienced riders to see close up what some of the more experienced riders are doing (whether it's the lines they take or body positioning or any number of things). As long as everyone holds their line, you can have an expert riding right alongside a novice and there won't be any problems. As you can tell, the day was very beneficial and enjoyable for me. I think you're doing a great job.

- Hi my name is Matt Turner, I rode the Heartland Park event. I had a great time riding there with our group and I will be doing it again (plenty of track time). I was a track day instructor for Sportbike Tracktime for 3 years, so I have been around hundreds of riders and events. At first I was a little skeptical about an open track event but with limiting the number of riders and sticking to your rules that you stated in the riders meeting it went on without any complaints from me. Again more than enoough track time for the price and I will be looking forward to your next event.
- Morning, I attended the Heartland track day yesterday. I'm on a street SV650 and I was a little worried about the faster riders blowing past me and potentially running me off the road. It was a relief to me that during the riders meeting you stressed the point of making safe and courteous passes. Sure enough, during the day when I was passed they were all clean passes with no drama. Another thing I enjoyed was the open track, going in and out when you want makes for a relaxing, fun day. It was the most fun I've ever had. Keep up the good work! You'll see me again at MAM.
Thanks, Mark Dyal
- Dear Dean, Kim and everyone with TrackAddix,
I just wanted to let you guys know I had the best track day experience I've ever had yesterday at Heartland Park Topeka. The "No Session" format is very nice. You, your staff, and all your sponsors did a wonderful job hosting the event. Thanks again for an awesome track day.

- I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I (actually all of us) enjoyed your track day at HPT on Sunday. As a business owner I can't help myself from critiquing businesses and services I use. I wanted to let you know that I was most impressed with how you ran yours. You probably addressed all my little bitches I've had over the years and just wanted to let you know it was noticed and most appreciated. You seem to run your days like a BUSINESS that is interested in pleasing your CUSTOMERS.
All of the contact with your staff was positive and friendly, starting with Kim at sign in and continuing to pretty much everybody I talked to. Your riders meeting was positive and upbeat. You plugged your sponsors, gave the rule rundown, gave away some stuff and seemed genuinely interested in expressing to everybody your appreciation and desire for them to have a good time. The picking up of downed bikes was quick and efficient. The track time was substantial. The "be polite and safe" passing rule made it easy to get around people.
Really that's about it. As I proof read this I realize that it is the personal interaction that really seemed to have set your event apart. I wish you great success in your racing career and track day business.

- What a top notch program you guys put on! I was pleased the entire day...the weather was great, the people were awesome! Everyone I met was nice and courteous. Thanks again! I am absolutely sold on your track days...not to mention you gave away easily $500 worth of prizes at the beginning of the day! What a deal! That was amazing...
Dan Blake
- Why do you guys rule so much? You rule 'cause your crew is the best. Steve and I were talking about how there's no comparison between you and Edge. Steve said their show was a joke last time he was there in Brainerd with hardly any corner workers and this and that. I love how you guys are running things, and it won't be long before you take over the country's track time. Keep up the good work!
