2-Day Bundle July 28th and 29th 2023

I am really grateful my son got to have Carol for his track instructor! She was an exceptionally good fit for teaching Brian. My son was a young and inexperienced rider, and it was all about the trust factor for me. I basically turned my child over to her, and had to trust that she knew what she was doing. She was amazing. She was able to gauge how fast a new rider could go, and she kept him safe. She taught him so many practical skills, but more importantly she was able to teach him how to be responsible and have fun at the same time. His first track day could have been a disaster because it was pouring down rain, and her calm and confident teaching style some how made everything go perfectly. He LOVED every minute of the day, and he can’t wait to do it again.

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!

I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would not be able to call myself a motorcycle rider today without the help and instruction of Carol Carpenter. I first got the bug to ride a motorcycle when I was 20 years old, but it would be until I was 30 that I finally had the opportunity to try.  I first signed up at my local motorcycle school thinking I would be able to just get my endorsement on the same day.  I had been a passenger on a motorcycle for so many years it seemed to be a given.  But the morning of the class, I found myself in the awkward position of being excused because I “didn’t appear to be learning as quickly as the others.”  I was confused but accepted the findings because I thought the instructors knew better.  I borrowed a friend’s Rebel 250 and started to practice on my own.  I took the Pre- BRC class and was told by that instructor that I appeared competent and could progress.  I retook the BRC class 2 months later at the same school and progressed through the whole day.  At the end, however, the instructors told me that they didn’t think I was progressing fast enough again.  I asked them to explain to me what they were seeing, by the instructor didn’t have time and just let me stand on the side and watch until they could dismiss me again.  I was devastated and completely discouraged.  But that’s when I found Carol. I sent her a LONG message explaining my desperation.  By the end of the day, she had called me on the phone and let me explain my whole struggle. She was so encouraging and understanding and believed that she could help me.  She arranged to meet me on my terms with my bike and walked me through how the process would work.  The first time we met, she brought a headset for me to use with my helmet and had someone else inspect my bike before we took it out.  She let me show her where my skillset was and even talked me through the ride to help me stay calm.  She gave great pointers on what I was doing well and what I really needed to work on.  Carol was even able to help introduce me to mechanics who specialized in my bike and gave great feedback on equipment and maintenance. Carol was able to really hone in on what I needed to do to feel confident during my endorsement exam and helped properly introduce me to the world of riding.  She had reading material for every topic I had questions on.  Through her patience and her teaching skills, I was finally able to get my endorsement!  I look forward to more lessons from her in the future and couldn’t recommend her enough!

My name is Jonathan Lee, and I just wanted to briefly share my first experience and impressions of Carol (my instructor for the day). I signed up for the level 2 school, and was paired up with Carol Carpenter, who would mentor me throughout the day. This has been probably the best and most productive track day I’ve ever had. I’m a relative newcomer when it comes to riding on the track, but I feel like I’ve been able to catch on fairly well. But when Carol started guiding and instructing me, I quickly realized that I needed to work on a few things that would help me ride safely as well as allow me to have the margins/capacity to ride faster. I’ve never met a coach that was so enthusiastic and absolutely genuine when it came to helping other riders develop their skills! Carol broke her criticism down in a way that was easy to understand. She even brought along Troy to further help me with my body positioning, which was quite the eye-opener. Troy and Carol recorded my actual riding on the track, and ended up working as a team to further evaluate my habits & also the areas I was doing well in. These two are quite the deadly combination when it comes to rider coaching & mentoring. Carol was quick to email me her critiques which outlined specifically the areas that I need to work on to get to the next level in my riding. She also made herself very accessible and told me not to hesitate to contact her if I ever have any questions. Once again, I have never met a coach that was this dedicated to helping riders hone their craft. My first experience has been quite incredible thanks to the help of Carol & Troy. Their passion for the sport and its riders is unparalleled. I’ve learned more in this one day than I’ve ever learned in all the track days combined earlier this year. I will, without a doubt, be coming back for future events. Thank you Carol, Troy,and the crew for making my track day a one to remember. Cheers!

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

I wasn’t able to fill out the course evaluation form after today’s track day (5/18) and I wanted to thank Carol for her outstanding work as an instructor for Level 2. She was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and had an answer to every question. She gave helpful feedback both on mastered techniques and how to improve more. She is great and I look forward to participating in more Track Days.
