EDIT: This event has been postponed due to weather.


We are hosting our first event of 2008 at Gingerman on Saturday, April 12. Our events are run more like open track days than driving schools. We do have instructors, and there will be a classroom session for the less experienced though. As always, we will have four run groups detertmined by driver experience and car potential. Each session will be about 15-17 minutes and we run from 9AM-5PM with a one hour lunch break. Lunch is provided, along with water and Gatorade throughout the day. Cost for the day is $150.

We have always had fantastic turnout from the Corvetteforum, and we are hoping to keep that up this year. If you guys have questions, please let me know.

Hope you all have a successful track day. I used to haul up to Gingerman 2-3 times a month for open practice events when I lived in Indiana. Always had a great time. Post some pictures after the event.

Sigh...I'd be there for sure but it's the same weekend as the first NASA event at Mid-Ohio.

I'm interested. Let me check my schedule.

We saw the NASA event after we booked the weekend. Getting Saturdays is tough, so we jumped at this. Don't worry, we will be at Grattan several times throughout the year.

Then so will I. Hopefully nothing will break or catch on fire!

Although if not it will probably rain

Ken,
As of right now the wife is working that weekend. I'll let you know if things change.

bb69

The limit is 65 people, broken down into 4 run groups.

Thanks

Great organization. We ran with them before the Runoffs last fall to tune up, tons of track time, good for all levels.

GunKata

wow, this is very enticing. cheaper than Speedtrials events too.

ScaryFast

I think Speedtrials is out of commission in the midwest...I checked their website and they only have California events listed, and I went through Gingerman's calandar and they are not listed and all weekends are full with other clubs...

So this is your best shot

The weekends are hard to come by. Most tracks automatically sell them to the same group year after year. It makes it tough for new groups to break into the calendar.

JMB92,
Thanks for the compliments. Hope you can make some of our other events.

We are trying to get several dates confirmed with Grattan right now.

What's the weather usually like up there at that time? It's about a 5 hour drive for me.

I drove to Indiana last April for an auto-x and it snowed the whole way over. Fortunately it was nice on the weekend to drive, but I know western Michigan can get hammered with lake effect.

Below is a link to weather.com with the average highs and lows. Basically, the high should be in the 50's and the overnight low in the mid to high 30's. Snow is not out of the question, but neither is a 70 degree day. If the event does happen to snow out, there will be a snow date. We will work with anyone that can't make the snow date to either credit you with another track day or refund your money.

Thanks
Ken
