2Fast Track Ride Around
The best way to start your day at the track,
before you ever put your helmet on.
Know the Track Before You Ride It
Ever pulled out of pit lane and immediately wondered what was coming next? Struggled to find a reference point in a tricky corner? Wanted to know what the fast riders are thinking about in sections that have not even registered on your radar yet?
The 2Fast Track Ride Around was built for exactly that.
Every morning of every 2Fast event, before the mandatory riders meeting, we load riders into pickup trucks and take a slow, detailed lap around the entire circuit. Every critical corner. Every tricky transition. Every place where riders tend to struggle, and every place where they can gain the most.
You’ll see the track before you ride it, hear what matters before you get there at speed, and start your day with a better plan than “figure it out when I get there.”
Your Guide: Mark DeGross
The Track Ride Around is led by 2Fast founder and owner Mark DeGross.
Mark has been racing since 2001 and founded 2Fast in 2003. After more than 25 years of lapping the tracks 2Fast operates at, he has accumulated more laps at these circuits than arguably anyone in the Northwest.
He has tasted victory plenty of times. He has also learned from more mistakes than he would like to count—and he will tell you about those too, because that is where the real lessons live.
Mark still receives regular coaching from pro-level riders, not because he needs to keep up, but because he believes the best coaches never stop learning.
What you get on the Track Ride Around is not a rehearsed script. It is decades of hard-won track knowledge, delivered at the exact spot on the circuit where it applies.

What We Cover
No two Track Ride Arounds are identical. The conversation goes where it needs to go.
At each stop, Mark breaks down what riders need to know about that section of track.
You’ll cover:
- Visual reference points for corners where riders commonly get lost
- What to prioritize—and what to avoid—in each section
- Track entry and exit procedures, explained at the actual spot where they happen
- Surface changes, layout quirks, and details that are not obvious at speed
- How to set up the next corner from where you are standing right now
- Common mistakes riders make in that area and how to avoid them
- Do’s and don’ts for each portion of track
- Live questions from the group, answered on the spot

Worth doing more than once
New Rider? Do This.
If it is your first track day, the Track Ride Around is one of the smartest ways to start. You will understand where pit out is, how pit in works, what corners demand patience, where your eyes should go, and which areas catch riders by surprise.
You do not need to know the perfect line before your first session. You do need a mental map of the track and a few clear priorities. That is what this ride gives you.
Experienced Rider? Still Do This.
We hear it constantly from repeat customers: they have done the Track Ride Around three events in a row and still picked up something new.
That is the point.
The track may not change much, but what you are ready to hear does. As your pace improves, different details start to matter. A reference point that meant nothing last season might be the thing that unlocks a better exit today.
Whether you are brand new, a few events in, or a seasoned rider, there is always something to take away.
