Henry,
Just signed up and looking forward to it.
Putnam is my home track and hopefully this will get me another second or two.

Well, I gues that shoots the other idea right in the backside. I do believe that the NCM was trying to get Putnam Park for the 19-20 to coincide with Cruise In. Maybe they can get it 5/18-5/19. Have fun!

I am in too. It will be good to see you again Bill. I owe you a good picture or two on the track. Those that you took at CMP are still some of the best I have from the last couple of years.

Holy smokes is right!!...unfortunately you looked at the school price and not the lapping day which is $400. Only 25 cars, lots of track time.

I believe you would be driving Henry's cars for the school.
Lots of money invested there for us to be able to do that.

These are the cars you would be driving at the school.

I am going
I have been to 3 of henry's schools and had a blast. Putnam park is a great track and is very safe. The schools are a fantastic experience and every car guy, and gal, should go at leat one time. The lapping day will have some awsome cars,, there might be some true exotics there, possibly a porsh 917 or an origianl GT40 ...

Don, you may as well drag that Auby fan up with you, too. Actually, Donna might enjoy it should you decide to cut across on 46 out of Columbus and stop in at Nashville, In. If you have never been there it is sorta like Gatlinburg, Tn. Very tourist oriented. Pretty neat little town.

Instructor
My father, brother, and I had a great time at Henry's school in Savanna last May...Count all three of the Macs in for the lapping day. Henry runs a first class operation and we look forward to a fun day @ Putnam next year! I am glad to see that the instructors will be available upon request!

I am from indianaolis and going all 3 days
I think this is going to be a blast I have been to 3 of these schools with both friends and famly members going along. It looks as though some of the instructors are going to be hanging on the lapping day and we may have an opportunity for some limited instruction from them on the lapping day which is Tuesday.
Then the school is Wed and Thursday, the structure for that is that you drive the schools cars which are all corvettes. Some are stock c5s some are c5zo6s and there will be two race prepared c5zo6s possibly available for the more advanced students.
In the school there is an instructor in the car with you at all times for both days and you will get a lot of seat time, and some classroom instruction. Also this is not lead follow instruction, it is you being allowed to push the car to the limit of your abilities,
on a real race tack at Putnam Park outside indianaoplis. This event is the week before the Indianpolis 500 next May 2008.
There has been some confusion on prices. The lapping day Tuesday driving your own car is a stand alone event which is 400 bucks and will be limited to 25 higher end cars.
The school is 2 days driving the school's cars with instructors in the cars and is 3500 dollars.

Count me in!
I attended Henry's school at Roebling Road in early February 07. It was a great time and unfortunately increased my addiction to the sport!

glad to hear you are comming to Indy
I did the same thing, went to the class and got pretty fired up. It is the most fun thing I have done (you know what I mean) since I hung up my motocross boots 30 years ago... Jim
