"A terrifying treat" I think those are the words we ended up using to describe the EvolveGT event hosted at Summit Point's Shannendoah track. You see - we were not experienced enough for this track day, but that was only realized the first lap on what turned (pun intended) out to be a rather complex track (Shenandoah Circuit, for curious minds) as the ambient hum of more advanced rider's engines played loudly in horrifying surround sound. What you think would make for a terrible experience was rectified by the amazing staff, coaches, and riders at EvolveGT. The care they took to help us better ourselves prior to getting to the track, the active interest in where we were vs what we could do to improve, and the overwhelming support were just astounding. We've tried many hobbies that involve classroom / instructor time, but EvolveGT has that game on lock. Everyone was itching to help direct you to the appropriate area, work with you on time constraints, help you improve, and even as we were loading the bikes up to leave, an instructor was there offering more tips to improve your experience on a motorcycle - he didn't even need to - they all just really want to help, and they really want to see people enjoy motorcycles. As Bob "The Legend" said, "I'm here to make you better than me." And while that's a pipe dream, these guys are insanely good, I really feel like their goals are to make you the absolute best. It was such a wonderful motorcycle track day experience, that we'll be working on getting our skills sharpened enough to be involved with these track day instructors. I would even bother at looking at other track days - this team of motorcycle extraordinaire are the real deal. Thanks again to Billy, Bob, Paul, and the other 2 instructors that were awesome to work with. read more

Price was pretty reasonable for a full track day but it was a lot less organized than I'd have wanted for a track day. First, their website is extremely difficult to navigate. Then, at the event, there was no clear signage at all of where to park, where inspection takes place, where is the group meeting takes place, where riders are expected to enter the track, or exit the track. Inspection and daily briefing both started late - which is a small detail but makes me question their attention to detrail and professionalism. I did not receive ANY personalized feedback from any of the coaches despite choosing to join their training course. The coach that I got was either overwhelmed, or has no classroom management skills, because he would create a plan before we went out, then change his mind in the pits and every session turned into a cluster ----. It's not like it was particularly busy, there were only 5 or 6 of us. Other coaches assigned to the group (ad-hoc) would just ride off on their own, and it seemed they just wanted to ride on track and improve their own lap times rather than coach. Another reviewer mentioned something similar, so maybe this is how they operate. Other unprofessional behavior: the organizer sat in the classroom watching facebook/youtube videos unmuted as we were trying to learn. I would not recommend this organization to anyone who actually wants to learn how to improve sport riding. If you are already an intermediate or advanced rider I suppose its a less expensive option for track days, but this was a pretty bad experience. I really regret going. read more

Awesome facility and well run events. Clean, extremely fun and can't beat the company

Worst track day experience I've ever had. Fiancée and I signed up for a track day in North Carolina at NCCAR, which got rained out but wasn't canceled for some reason. It clearly states in their riders guide/manual that in the event of poor weather the track day would be canceled and reimbursements/credits would be issued. Though it was raining all day and the night before, it was not canceled until 2pm after telling everyone that we would be going until 5pm, and conveniently, the only people who spent a lot of time on the track were the evolve guys. So while the employees were gaining experience riding in the rain, those of us with slicks could only sit by our bikes hoping for the rain to stop. After getting absolutely no seat time, the announcer told everyone to go home, and then jokingly stated "it was fun hanging out in the rain with you guys" as if taking our money and running was funny to them. After emailing them and explaining the situation and asking why it wasn't canceled, we were told that they were "unable to cancel" due to insurance reasons?? Smells like bullshit to me, not to mention theft. Multiple people told me to stay the hell away from Evolve, and I wish I'd listened. We're out $440 and 6 hours of driving/gas. Sign up with N2 track days. Not only are they much cheaper than evolve, but they don't have late fees and this "no reimbursement" bullshit that evolve has. Now I understand why everyone shits on these guys so much. read more

Evolve GT Track Days - Race Tracks Near Me - Ashland, Virginia

I've never written a Yelp review but this deserves it. We are from out of state and planned a vacation here for a track day, unfortunately my fiancé's bike was totaled 2 weeks before our trip. We called and were told they don't offer refunds or even a credit to come another time even though we notified them 2 weeks prior. The employee on the phone said "oh you don't know how many times this happens". Terrible business! read more

I had a very bad experience with Evolve GT, I got into a motorcycle accident 1 week before the event. They refused to refund me the money, even considering my situation, I was at the hospital at that point with multiple injuries. After multiple email and phone calls, they put some credits on my account, I paid for the whole weekend but got credits for 1 day (not even half of the money I paid). I am going for track days with multiple organizations and never seen such attitude towards customers and fellow bikers. Every other organization shows support and understanding, which is not the case here...They guy on the phone told me we all crash, it is a risky sport, we can't do anything.... That is frustrating, unfortunately evolve Gt doesn't know what is support, understanding and caring about others... read more
