Who are the instructors?

This program was developed by Ken Condon.

Ken and his hand-picked staff of top instructors will share their vast knowledge of riding technique with any intermediate or advanced trackday rider or new racer who is eager to improve his or her riding.  Personalized Instruction is held in conjunction with Tonys Track Days at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway and New Jersey Motorsports Park.

 Requests to work with a particular instructor will be fulfilled when possible. Email Ken to find out if a preferred instructor is available.

 


 

Training Format:

  • Each student will receive personal attention during 3 on-track sessions and 3 off-track discussion sessions spaced out through the day with open practice sessions in between.
  • Communicators will be used when appropriate and if conditions allow. Note: communicators are less effective at the higher speeds attained by many Yellow and most Blue group riders.
  • On-board video of at least one session with video debriefing session. Please bring a laptop or a flash drive if you want to take the video home with you.

TESTIMONIALS:

"Just a quick note to let you know my recent day of personal instruction far surpassed any expectations I had. You have a great program and all the guys made me feel right at home from the start of the day. My instructor Pete Gaboriault was awesome to work with. I would recommend this to any rider that is looking to improve regardless of what group they currently ride in. A full day of working with an expert level racer easily shaved a few seconds off my lap times.
I will definitely be back again soon for another day. Thanks to both you and Pete for a memorable experience."

"NJMP MAY 1 & 2 was amazing - thanks to all for another amazing event and thank you Ken - the one on one was invaluable. I made more progress than I ever thought I would in one day. If anyone is considering personalized instruction - stop considering and just do it - you will not regret it."

"I had a great time this past weekend especially the one on one training with Pete on monday. He was so good as an instructor I feel that I got more from that one day with him then I got with the two days I had with the Superbike school last fall at the same track. I really didn't expect that to happen because I really thought I got a lot from the sessions last year. Pete was pointing out things to me that I never would have picked up on and having the session between the time on the track with Pete really helped in that I could work on the assignments that he gave me. I felt that it was well worth the money and would like to do it again."

"I had the good fortune to work one on one with Ken Condon.

I could not be more pleased with the decision to invest in his training. I have worked with many coaches throughout the years and would give Ken my highest recommendation.

He lends his experience as an expert racer and instructor in a way that is easy to understand and most importantly - apply.   He noticed minor details in my riding that made significant gains for me in subsequent sessions.

Ken took the time to understand my personal goals, offer his plan of action and measure my progress throughout the day. I look forward to the opportunity of working with him again."
