Read full description

Track Toolkit is three apps in one, built for motorcycle trackday riders and club racers who want to show up prepared and leave with better data. TIRE SELECTOR Pick the right slick or DOT for the day based on your bike, ambient and track temperature, tire warmers, and session pace. Get recommended cold and hot pressures, see side-by-side compound comparisons (Pirelli SC1/SC2/SC3, Michelin Power Slick, Bridgestone V02/R11, Dunlop KR451 and more), and understand why one compound is right and another will grease off or blister. Every recommendation is backed by manufacturer data and published trackday guidance — sources are cited in-app. CLUB RACING CLASS FINDER Enter your bike's year, make, model, and modifications to instantly see which western states 2026 road racing classes you're eligible for — and which mods would limit the classes you qualify for. Built from the current Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado rulebooks.. so you stop guessing at tech inspection. TRACK DAY JOURNAL Log every track day, session, and lap. Track personal bests by circuit and bike, keep notes on suspension settings, weather, and what you changed between sessions, and build a garage of the bikes you ride. Capture tire wear with AI analyzed photos (left edge, center, right edge) so you can see how your setup is actually working over the weekend. AI makes suggestions based on wear patterns in the tire image. RACEBOX INTEGRATION Connect a RaceBox Mini S or Micro over Bluetooth and pull recorded sessions straight off the device — lap times, GPS traces, and telemetry — no SD card shuffling, no laptop required. WEST COAST TRACK PRESETS One-tap presets for the tracks you actually ride: Buttonwillow (Classic and The Circuit), Chuckwalla, Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Thunderhill East and West, and The Ridge — with the correct length, turn count, and direction for the common motorcycle configuration. WHO IT'S FOR - Trackday riders who want to see tire options compared to what is on the bike. - Trackday riders that want input/advice regarding tire wear, tire pressures, suspension settings - Western States club racers checking class eligibility before they build - Anyone tired of writing session notes on the back of a tech sheet Track Toolkit is built by a rider, for riders. No ads. Your journal data is yours.
