TESTIMOMIALS
Carol,
I just wanted to say thank you! We left early because of the heat, but this was an amazing experience!
I’ve had my motorcycle endorsement for a few years now, but I’ve only ridden a handful of times. I’m not a very confident rider, but this track day gave me tons of positive experience! I could already tell I was riding more confidently on the way home versus when I left home. Please send my regards to Marshal Jenny, it was wonderful to be shown around the track in a slow and controlled pace!
When I returned from my last session, my friends informed me that there was always a marshal behind me to keep the other riders away. I’m sorry if my inexperience got in the way of the other riders, but thank you so much for looking out for me! I felt that this was a welcome and safe environment, and I hope to ride with you all again!
Best regards,
-Hannah
Well I must commend you and the MotoVixens Team for putting on a stand up track day weekend event. You don’t know much about me Carol but I am 51 and was a club level road-racer from 1990 to 2006. I also did a bunch of WERA/FUSA Endurance races around the nation with Team Hawaii Endurance in the early/mid 90’s. I retired from racing but stayed involved in the community via track days and such. I was in the Army stationed in Hawaii from 89-92 and became a Motorcycle Safety Instructor as well as resident fast guy road-racer. Lol.
Not to babble on and on but my point is that I have seen a lot of different organizations put together events and they all have a little different vibe about them. The vibe that I received as a welcome back to the track after 13 years of being away was so amazing and calm, cool and collected. Everyone was so nice and helpful and the amount of Marshal’s riding around and offering great line advice and such was really great. I will say that this was my funnest track day experience EVER!!!
The MotoVixens Team, The Ridge as a facility with showers and store and everything it offers and of course the track… What can I say about the track. Absolutely amazing course with grip for days. My new favorite track.
I just did my second track day ever with Moto Vixens. The organization, the welcoming attitude, and their instructor Steve-O has made me double down. I will be back in August because they all made it such a non-intimidating enjoyable experience. I appreciated the openness to dumb azz questions, the straight forwardness with safety concerns, and the overall approach of making the day work!
Just did another MotoVixens/CC Track Events track day! Wow! What a great group to ride with. Carol, Troy, and the whole staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a fun and safe track day experience. I like that the groups are smaller so it is easier to hook up with one of the great instructors for some one on one track time. The smaller groups also allow more room on the track to work on your riding skills.
I also like the on-site vendors/sponsors, who have great products and provide valuable information. They also provide killer prizes for the raffle (2x winner)!
Overall, the best track day experience I’ve had. Thanks again Moto Vixens!
A little about me, I’ve been riding for most my life and currently road race. With that being said, I get the opportunity to ride with a lot of track day providers.
My wife wanted to do a Motovixens track day and asked that I trailer her bike to The Ridge. Being the supportive husband I am, I agreed. I was surprised to see all the guys at the riders meeting. I “assumed” it was a women’s only thing. I couldn’t have been more wrong. While they had great instructors for beginners like my wife, they also had racers there like myself.
The day started off like any other track day. Talking about rules and flags is a common theme. But what I noticed was the relaxed feel everyone had and how friendly everyone was. The entire day had a more relaxed vibe. Throughout the course of the day I was impressed at how well the instructors worked with my wife and the staff checked on her. It was very relaxing and my wife learned a lot and had a great time.
Fast forward to the next time my wife wanted to do a track day with Motovixens. This time I brought one of my race bikes and had the pleasure of running some fast lap times with a couple of the fastest riders in the NW. “not me” As a racer, I enjoy riding with faster guys. It gives me the opportunity to see better lines, tip in points and brake markers. I could run as fast as I wanted and focus on my skills. When I had questions, Oliver was gracious enough to help me. I race with Oliver Jervis at Omrra and anyone that races there will attest that he’s a lap record pace rider. One of the best in the NW and an extremely humble guy to work with.
Having attended several track days with Motovixens now, I can honestly say that they provide a quality track day without any pressure. They’re about having fun, riding safe and learning to ride better. Carol is a very gracious host and makes sure to get around the pits and welcome everyone. It’s truly an enjoyable event that is not for “women” only. All levels of riders are there. From the new never been on track riders to lap record riders and everything in between. The thing that everyone has in common is that we’re all having fun and enjoying our day. There are also a lot of people there that are willing to help. From riding to working on bikes, there is someone there with Motovixens to help.
Finally, one thing I would like to point out that I appreciated. Motovixens doesn’t pack their riders in. Speaking for myself, it’s very frustrating when I’m trying to work on my lines at a fast pace to be grouped with a full track of people not at the same speed. MotoVixens does a great job of managing how many riders are on track at once. That keeps the track relatively clear and people can ride whatever pace they’re comfortable with.
In closing, I would highly recommend Motovixens for ALL levels of riders.
