Motorcycle track days at Thunderhill
ā¦and guess whatā¦ weāre making it different. If you are looking for a ābeginner orientedā track day event, or if you have a touring bike and nobody else lets you on the track, or if you have a race bike, Superbike-Coach track days have something for everyone.
Three groups for safe track riding and learning
- Advanced and Intermediate riders- or sport and track bikes (group B+)
- Advanced and Intermediate riders- or touring bikes (group B)
- Dedicated class instead (see below)
Why our track days are different
We run two ‘regular’ track day groups, B+ and B. The third group is reserved to be a dedicated class, our Track RookieĀ class. Whatever your choice is, every group will have the usual 7×20 minutes sessions on track. Both, the track day and class groups are limited and early bookings are recommended.
Over thousands of miles and over four decades of racing, riding, and teaching on track all over this planet, Coach Can has been seen all kinds of track day organizers: āSome were really OK, but most of themā¦ geez, they arenāt even sticking to their own rules. That aināt good for track newbies at all!ā. Besides a team of professional track marshals and a fully-equipped emergency crew, our control riders are always there for you.
All bikes- less bike preparation- every rider & gear
We understand how painful it is to prepare a bike to meet someoneās track usage requirements, but our policy is totally on your page. Nothing needs to be done to your baby.Ā Same goes for our requirements in regard to gear. As long as you have street acceptable riding gear with all protectors in the right places you are good to go. And hey, if you need to add some gear for this event, then Superbike-Coach also helps with huge discounts by our sponsors.
So, non-competitive, but if this is your first time on a ‘big track’ or if you have little experience with this, then we have the right programs to get you prepared for track days in general. We encourage you to do theĀ Cornering programĀ or at least ourĀ Track Rookie classĀ before hitting the big track. This will make you safer, more confident and you’ll get a much bigger scoop out of our track days.
The “uber counter steering” (a term coined by Coach Can for the lack of a better one) was totally new to me and a little tricky, but in the free track time after the class I practiced a bit and got better.- Michelle Tilley, Cornering School 1 and 2

The tracks we’re using
Thunderhill West Raceway has 10 challenging turns on its 2 miles, and its short straights don’t give much relaxing time so that we go here in 3 level groups in 7×20 minutes sessions, also to keep the headcount low. This track is perfect for every rider level because of its characteristics.
Little 99 Raceway comes with 13 turns on a mile, which makes it extremely challenging. If you can handle this one… you can handle every big track or canyon. The little 99 is a great place to get use to a track day environment. We run our track days here on 4 level groups in 12×12 minutes sessions, which is a lot.
Thunderhill East Raceway is the more ‘expert’ level track because of its high speed sections and tricky lines. The braking travels are demanding on this 3 mile track with its 15 turns. We organize 3 level groups track days here with 7×20 minutes sessions. The secret of this track is the line, and who could show you this better than Coach?!
