OPP VIP Coaching is where riders of all skill levels can learn to become better, safer, smarter and more confident riders.

Students are taken through an educational process that is fun, progressive and limitless in terms of learning. Students of all skill levels learn from the same general curriculum with the difference being that if can be tailored to fit the rider’s own individual needs and goals. Students apply the techniques and skills learned in the paddock mini classroom in a controlled and gradual manner on the racetrack.  Students who successfully achieve their own personal riding objectives share the same traits in that they keep an open mind, have a willingness to learn and have a good work ethic.

Instructors are extremely talented riders with extensive backgrounds in TrackDay riding, racing, instructing and in the motorcycle industry. They have each been handpicked for their passion for instructing and their ability to teach in a positive, supportive and progressive manner.

We can help all students, whether they are newer TrackDay riders, expert TrackDay riders or racers of any level achieve their best.
