Intro to Trackdays and Chicks on Slicks

There’s a moment every rider has. Maybe it hits while ripping up dirt on a remote fire road.
Maybe it strikes during that Sunday backroad cruise where everything clicks—the throttle, the lean, the line.

But for most, the idea of a motorcycle track day still lives in the realm of “maybe someday.” You’ve heard of them—maybe from the parts guy at your dealership or a buddy who swears by the rush. Still, it feels like something reserved for racers or gearheads with custom leathers and trailer rigs.

Track Days Aren’t Just for Racers—They’re for Riders

That’s where 2Fast Motorcycle Track Days & Instruction steps in, especially if you're anywhere near Shelton, WA, The Ridge Motorsports Park, or Oregon Raceway Park.

You don’t need to be Valentino Rossi or even know who he is.

You just need a street-legal bike in solid mechanical shape, basic safety gear, and a little curiosity.

Because 2Fast isn’t just offering high-speed playgrounds. They’re building an on-ramp for everyday riders—people with day jobs, weekend warriors, even folks who've only known throttle in the dirt or snow. They want you to know: this is for you, too.

Introducing the “Intro to Trackday” Program: No Pressure, All Progress

The Intro to Trackday program is designed like a handshake, not a shove.

For $100, you’ll get:

• A guided paddock tour (so you don’t feel like a fish out of water).
• Two controlled on-track sessions with experienced riders.
• A classroom debrief to break down the how and why of cornering, braking, and line choice.
• And if you decide to do a full day later? That hundred bucks gets credited toward your full track registration. That’s not just affordable—it’s smart.

And Then There’s Chicks on Slicks – Confidence, Community, Control

Let’s be real: motorsports can feel like a boys' club. But the Chicks on Slicks initiative is changing that. It runs alongside the Intro program but caters specifically to women who want to ride the track with extra support and zero ego.

With female instructors, dedicated Q&A, and a no-BS atmosphere, this program is empowering a new generation of female riders—on and off the track.

Who’s This Really For? Probably You.

• The dirt rider who’s dialed in throttle control but never leaned into a paved apex.
• The sled-head who’s fearless in snow but hasn’t seen a racetrack up close.
• The commuter who rides to work in the rain, dreaming of a place to actually use all six gears.
• The dealership regular who’s heard whispers about “The Ridge” but didn’t know you could just… sign up.
  
  

Dealerships across Oregon and Washington are starting to talk more about track experiences. Local shops like BMWSeattle; Triump of Seattle and Skagit Motorsports; have been great launchpads—offering gear advice, bike prep tips, and sometimes group discounts for local track day events.

The Day Job Doesn’t Disqualify You

Most trackday first-timers aren’t racers. They’re mechanics, baristas, teachers, techs, and engineers. They show up in pickup trucks or on their own bikes. Some are nervous. All leave grinning.

It’s less about speed, more about discovery. Less competition, more evolution.
