WHO: Veterans and First Responders with PTS(D)
WHAT: A trackday is 1 or 2-day organized event in which riders of all skill levels receive both classroom and on-track instruction around an established motorcycle racing circuit. This kind of riding is an absolute thrill, with an emphasis on nurturing the finer skills of the motorcycle in a controlled environment. Our ultimate goal is for the participant to have as much fun as possible while increasing riding proficiency and safety. We have partnered with motorcycle track day schools Ride Smart and 3:16 Trackdays where students will experience top notch instruction and training.
WHERE: You can find one of our many Texas track day events at the following race tracks: Motor Speedway Resort in Houston (MSRH), Motorsport Ranch at Cresson (MSRC), Eagles Canyon Raceway (ECR), and Circuit of The Americas (COTA).
WHEN: Track days occur almost every weekend and require an overnight stay on the Friday night, packing up and leaving Sunday afternoon after the 5pm ride session.
WHY: Research in PTS(D) has indicated that camaraderie, shared mission, and the intense release of adrenaline all help to mitigate symptoms. Track riding requires the focus to get away from stress, and gets hearts and minds racing. The track day can prove an invaluable means of improving the skills necessary to properly control these machines at or nearing their full potential in relative safety. It is a common feedback from track day enthusiasts that it helps them define the massive distinction between road and track riding/driving styles and as a result, through improved skill levels and attitudes, can have a positive effect on their road safety.
HOW: We want participants to have fun and find passion. Riders will learn to ride track on our 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400’s - one of the most popular bikes for track days.

All riders: no matter how much experience you have riding a motorcycle, riding on a track is an entire different experience. All riders will start in Novice and move up at the coaches discretion.
Riding occurs in 25 minute intervals - 25 minutes on followed by one hour of classroom instruction and rest. You are encouraged to listen to what your body is telling you and rest as long as needed.
Drink TONS of water the night before training, and get plenty of sleep. Track riding is physically demanding and requires you to be 100 percent on your game to avoid injury. Absolutely do not drink alcohol or do drugs the night before you ride. Any sign of impairment will result in you not being able to ride.
