nice

 

sounds like a fun day

 

i wanted to add that gingerman is probably one of the safest tracks i've ever been on. it is technically demanding, but very rewarding for novices and experienced drivers alike. at that price you would be hard-pressed to get that much track time on such a facility anywhere else.

 

I'd be willing to go as soon as my rotors and stainless steel brake lines are put on if anyone from the wisconsin area or chicago area wants to meet up and go.

 

looks like a sic track.........

 

If I wasn't already going to be there sunday the 10th, I'd be there. I'll probably be up for the Speedtrials day at the end of may.

 

awesome track

 

With just under two weeks before our GingerMan event, it is time to make sure your car is ready. Please take advantage by having your car checked over before the event. Though we will continue to provide tech inspections at the track, pre-tech'ing your car will ensure you the most track time and also allows time just in case something is wrong.

Looks like a nice track.. Have fun guys...

 

great looking track

 

turns 4-6 still gave me fits, you almost need to treat it like 1 giant corner. it a great exercise in momentum and patience. i lived up the coast about an hour from there and would go there a lot on weekday evenings to practice. i ran an enduro and some regionals there in a spec miata and we did fairly well. the more powerful cars were amazing there, but they were eating their brakes. there are some GREAT vintage races there around memorial day. nothing like seeing a group of 60s-70s era trans am cars going at it...or an alfa gt junior at full scream.
