Default NASA Gingerman and Grattan roll call

Anyone making the trip for these events?

Michigan is lovely this time of year...

I'm in for Grattan, still deciding on Gingerman. Keep in mind Grattan is fully repaved now, not so harsh on your equipment.

Will be going to Grattan also working on getting into TT. Have moved from HPDE 1 to HPDE 3 after 4 events with NASA. Also doing track days with 10 / 10ths which has really helped me with my driving skills. Hopefully will be doing some TT by the end of this season if I can keep improving on my skills.

We may or may not have some Moo Cow to share

Yeah Gingerman is a Mid-west event and Grattan is a Great Lakes, we're already doing the July and August Mid-O events so there are only so many events you can do in a year. Gotta draw a line somewhere! Hopefully you can make it to Gingerman, but I know how it is doing events back to back - we just did Putnam and BIR back to back - one weekend off then off to Gingerman.

I'm not exactly sure my situation yet. If I'm not picking my car up the weekend of the Gingerman event, then I'll probably be there taking pictures and hanging out.

Grattan? No idea. Depends when my car is done.

Well if you have to choose between picking up your car and taking pictures at Gingerman, GO PICK UP THE CAR!!!

Joel, you have any room in the rig for another car? Dan's car needs a ride to Michigan from DRM.

Interesting idea but I'm looking forward to picking it up at Randy's shop. I'd rather do it in person. Besides, I'm not sure when it will be done.
