Saturday, late afternoon
One thing, in production, that belongs to you.
Not three demos. One real piece of software solving the problem you walked in with, deployed and running, with the code in a repository under your name.
Why owning the repo is the part that matters
You can keep building on it Monday. You can hand it to your IT manager. You can pay an engineer to extend it and they'll have something real to start from instead of a conversation about what you want.
Here's the honest version: not every person in the room ships. Aptitude varies, and it's better said now than sold as a guarantee. Nearly everyone does, and you leave owning whatever you got to.
Bring any of these
One problem, whichever shape it takes.
The reason you're on this page
You already know which part of your week is broken.
It's the spreadsheet three people edit at the same time. The whiteboard someone photographs before it gets wiped. The group text standing in for a system, because the custom build came back quoted at forty grand and nine months.
So you priced it. You sat through a demo that almost fit. You went back to the workaround, and it's still there.
That problem is what you bring on September 12. By the time we shut the laptops it has software attached to it, built by you, running on your data.
Sep 12 · Nashville
Built from a system, not a gut feeling.
Two Boxes: the data and the experience, connected by the workflow that actually runs your operation. Scoped, priced in writing, and shipped through the 3D Agentic Build System. Six hours. One problem. One repository under your name.
Where the curriculum comes from
The same loop runs a $125M-a-month operation.
DRX Lot Assistant was built on it and it's in production today. Floor staff picked it up without a training mandate, which is the part that decides whether an internal tool lives or dies.
Hour by hour
Friday teaches it. Saturday ships it.
Two different jobs, which is why they're priced differently. Open whichever one you're considering.
Friday is the Sprint
The blocking and tackling. Velocity, the background, why the loop runs in the order it does. You go home able to do it yourself.
Saturday is the build
Review Friday, go deeper, then spend most of the day building in the room with Gavin on the floor. This is the day something ships.
Who's in the room with you
Gavin runs the operation this came out of.
Twenty-six years operating, most of it around collectible and exotic inventory. He runs GoTime Motorsports and works inside the exotic auto world, which means the software gets judged by people on a lot, not by people in a standup.
He built DRX Lot Assistant himself — a tool now carrying active monthly throughput at scale, with no manual database migrations and every floor-staff member using it without being told to. The curriculum is the order he built it in, including the parts that went wrong.
Replit certified him in the top 1% of builders on the platform — 19 earned capabilities across agent interaction, platform deployment, and software building. ChatGPT flagged him as a top 1% user in 2025 with over 32,000 prompts logged. Over 5,000 on v0 alone. These are not vanity numbers. They are a usage pattern — someone who does not consult the tools, but runs them every day, on problems that have to work.
Before you book
Worth a Saturday, or worth skipping.
This is built for you if
- You own a business, work inside a company, or already understand AI — and want to build something against your actual data
- You have a hard operational problem that costs time or money every week
- You are willing to sit at a keyboard for six hours and make decisions about your own operation
- You want to walk out with the pattern, not just the artifact — so you can repeat it
- You have tried off-the-shelf tools and they never quite fit your operation
Save your money if
- You want a polished product with designers and a roadmap
- You are looking for a general AI overview with no specific problem to solve
- You expect something shipped regardless of your effort on the day
- You are not willing to engage with your own data or describe how your operation actually works
The other lane, and it's a good one
Want it built for you? That's the best call some operators make.
Your time might be worth more running the business than building for it. Paddock20 builds it in-house, in the United States, on the same loop taught in this room. Automation work starts at $749.

Cancellations, in plain terms
Plans change. Here's exactly where you stand.
After the room
Three ways people keep going.
Some leave and build on their own. Some want a hand on the harder ones. Some work out their time is better spent running the business. Every one of those is a fine outcome.
Stay in the loop
Pit Pass
$97/mo
What Gavin built and what broke, every month, plus access to the community. Capped at 20 people.

Plenty of people come to a session, see the loop, and decide they'd rather hand it over. Same stack. Paddock20 builds it.
See what we buildQuestions people ask first
Straight answers.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The tools handle the syntax. You need to be able to describe what you want and follow the steps. Every person in the room starts from the same place.
What if my problem turns out to be too big?
We scope it down in the first hour. Gavin's job is to find the version that ships in a day. If something ends up too large, you leave with the hardest part done and a clear path to the rest.
What happens to my code after?
It lives in a repo under your name from the moment it's deployed. You own it, you can modify it, you can hand it to an engineer. Paddock20 has no ongoing access unless you choose the retainer.
Will there be more dates?
Yes. The Track Weekend starts in October — Friday and Saturday, twice a month. Leave your email in the waitlist below and you get the October dates before they go public.
What if I need to cancel?
Full refund if you cancel 14+ days out. 50% if you cancel 7–13 days out. Inside seven days, the seat is non-refundable but transferable to another person in your organisation.
Can Paddock20 just build it for me instead?
Yes — and that is the right answer for some people. If your time costs more than the build does, hand it over. Automation work starts at $749. See the work at paddock20.com/work.
Saturday won't work?
Leave your email and the October dates land in your inbox before they go public. No sequence, no drip, one email.

Six hours. One real build. 4 of seven seats left. $499. Not ready to commit a full day? Start with a crash course and come back.
Before you book
Your seat fee does not cover software costs.
That is not a surprise. That is the point.
The tools you use at this Mastermind are real production software. Not demos. Not student licenses. The same accounts, the same plans, the same metered billing that your business will run on after you leave.
Claude is not $20 unlimited. When you hit your context limit, you pay. ChatGPT Plus has daily caps on the models that matter — if you are switching chats constantly, that is a signal. v0 runs on credits. Replit charges by compute. None of this is a dealbreaker — it is just reality, and we are not going to hide it from you before you buy a seat.
This program is built for people who already have a business, existing revenue, or clear capital for tools. Not everyone is in that position right now, and that is fine. If the tool budget below is a stretch, it is the wrong time. If it is a rounding error, you are exactly who this is built for.
Minimum
~$500 /month
Free tiers only. Enough to build and deploy. May hit limits on Claude and v0 during intensive sessions.

Inside the Academy
This is what you are buying.
Click any course. See the lesson outline. See what the player looks like. See the certificate you earn when you finish.
What you earn
Not a certificate.
A receipt.
Every program hands out a certificate. We hand out evidence. The Euro plate goes on your wall. The bronze trophy goes on your desk. The live URL goes in your portfolio. They are three different ways of saying the same thing: you built something real, and it is running right now.
The philosophy
Why we do credentials the motorsport way.
Every race series has a marking system. F1 cars carry their numbers on the nose. GT cars run plates. We borrowed the plate because it is the most internationally legible credential on the planet — everyone knows what it means and where it was earned. Ours reads the session, the year, and the mark.
Gold is handed out at every conference for showing up. Bronze is what you earn in competition when you actually beat the track. You built production software. That is a harder thing than attending. Bronze is the honest metal for the honest work.
"Paddock20 Certified" is not a digital badge. It is a piece of paper that says you shipped. You can put it on your wall, your desk, or your LinkedIn. But the real credential is the URL — the live thing running in production right now that was not there before you walked in.
