Canaan, NH Special 2 Day Event

Be the first to ride this brand new track!!
Special  Penguin Event:
This event is being run as a special date run at the new facility in Canaan.  The track is a ton a fun, and we will try running it in both directions, plus we'll have a pit bike/scooter/mini moto session at the end of the day on the special short (and tight) configuration of the course.  We are even looking at doing some mini moto dirt drills.  While there will definitely be instruction available that riders traditionally find at Penguin events, this date will have some fun twists thrown in to create a super fun & casual atmosphere.  If you have a pit bike with either dirt or street wheels - bring it!  This track day will have plenty of laughs mixed in with the riding.

Feedback from the August 24th NEPS Customer Appreciation Track Day




Penguin School has two more Friday events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2015
September 11th and October 2nd We have also planned a 2 day event at the New Canaan, NH track on September 26 7 27 

We have a License Certification, Advanced Rider Training and Track Day Class scheduled for both these days.


If any of you have been thinking about riding the track with Penguin - meet Dotti Aiello, who at 65 years young had a great day with us riding one of our rental Ninja 300's. This fantastic lady had her initial fears completely put to rest by her 2nd session on the track, and was smiling more and more each time she got off the bike. What's your excuse?!?

More fantastic feedback from the August 24th track day...this from the father of a 16 year old girl who took the course on her personal Kawasaki EX500:
"Just wanted to give you some feedback from Monday’s Track Day. Thank you for a great day! You and your crew were very professional and courteous. Excellent instructors as well as all the other riders.
My daughter Brooke, had a great time and came away with much more confidence. She was a bit nervous at first, but her confidence grew as the day progressed. Steve, her instructor, was great! What a down to earth nice guy and motorcycle enthusiast. He spent quality one on one time with her and it really helped. Being only 16 and having limited street bike experience was the biggest reason I signed her up for your school. She really enjoyed her time there. Steve kept encouraging her throughout the day and it paid off with faster and faster lap times. She wants to come back for more experience. We will try to get back this season, but if not, definitely next spring. Thanks again!"

Why come to NHMS with Penguin?
"The combination of well presented information from some of the most skilled instructors available, and well sized on-track groups that offered plenty of room to safely practice (even in the fastest group) made for what was likely the most educational single day I’ve had on a motorcycle. Whether you are trying to take seconds off your lap times or are a newer rider wanting to learn how to ride safer and with more confidence, a day with the Penguin crew will offer you the tools to accomplish your goals while having a great time riding.” - I.B, 06/2014

Win a Free Garmin Camera!

Garmin Camera Contest Winner!Isaac Maycotte took the Penguin 3-Day Challenge and dropped 4.3 seconds per lap at NHMS!  His prize is the beautiful Garmin Virb HD below.  To see how he did it and to find out how you can do the same, read below....





Penguin 3-Day Challenge - Round #2
Penguin has put together a program for riders that has found great success!
  1. Step 1 - Riders record their best times at NHMS and use this as a starting point for the competiton.
  2. Step 2 - Riders attend our track day at Thompson, CT to work on techniques and skills needed for success.  Going to a different venue removes the pressure to run lap times and allows riders to really work on their body position and other skills that they often lack the patience to do at the track that they race on.
  3. Step 3 - Come back to Loudon and put your new skills to work in the Penguin 2 -Day school, where we help you use your new-found confidence and traction to drop those lap times.
Are you ready for the challenge?  Can you beat Isaac's 4.3 second/lap drop?  Here's your chance!  Come to Thompson on August 3rd, and then to Loudon on August 14 and August 24.  Give us 3 days and we'll give you guaranteed faster times - and the rider who performs the best will win a FREE $399 Garmin Virb camera with HD Video + Full GPS Capability!



You should also look over our Learn To Fly programs which give you discounts on event signup as well as many products and services supplied by companies and dealers who support the school.

June 17/18 Loudon Penguin Road Racing 2 Day School













On these two days, June 17th and 18th, we offer a Licensing Certification class on Wednesday the 17th and LRRS Practice on Thursday the 18th only. On both days you can attend our Advanced Rider Class or come and enjoy your machine in our track Experience Group.

This will also be the first NHMS event were we have Kawasaki KXF450 Motard bikes available. http://penguinroadracingschool.blogspot.com/2015/05/motard-rental-bikes-3-day-racer.html

Remember:

These two days are also the 2nd and 3rd day of our Penguin 3 Day June Racer Performance Improvement Guarantee. Be sure to sign up for the June 8th event at Thompson to be part of this program.

We are also offering 3 separate Track Experience Events
6/8 Thompson, 8/3 Thompson, 8/24 NHMS

Track Experience Events - Top 4 Questions

  1. Classroom Time?  Opportunity to learn is available, but not mandatory.  If you want to learn, we have an unbelievable staff that can answer any question you've got.  If you want to just ride, the only classroom that is required is the very first one.  
  2. But you're Penguin Racing School!  This is the #1 misconception out there.  While our Track Experience Dates often have one racer group, the majority of our groups are a Track Day type experience.  Most riders on these dates are NOT racers - by design!
  3. Can I get licensed on these days?   No, you cannot.  If you want to get started in racing, join one of our 7 dates that precede the LRRS race weekends.
  4. I'm not ready for Penguin.  The #2 misconception out there.  These days are designed to be a comfortable place to ride your bike.  While not an MSF course, they are a great place to ride for anyone comfortable with riding a street bike.  Track Experience days are the place for you!

Track Experience Testimonial - 
“Before attending, I was worried about aggressive riding and race passing. I’m happy to say that I did not find this to be true – in fact the experience was the opposite. The combination of well presented information from some of the most skilled instructors available, and well sized on-track groups that offered plenty of room to safely practice (even in the fastest group) made for what was likely the most educational single day I’ve had on a motorcycle. Whether you are trying to take seconds off your lap times or are a newer rider wanting to learn how to ride safer and with more confidence, a day with the Penguin crew will offer you the tools to accomplish your goals while having a great time riding.” - I.B., July 2014
