Default Putnam Park April 3rd

10/10ths Motorsports will be at Putnam Park on Saturday, April 3rd.

Come on out and enjoy a fun day before your Easter Sunday.
2.5 - 3.0 hours of track time available

Novice
Intermediate
Advanced

We will most likely hold another training type race start for the Advanced drivers and Instructors who want to participate. This has been a huge success and is some valuable experience for all the drivers.

This was one of our starts at VIR last week:

Hope to see you there

Yeah, that Jeremy is fast but I found out his secret last weekend. He is putting 2-stroke oil in his gas.

Looks like I'll be coming up in the old '96. Putnam is a fun, safe track for everyone to shake off the rust of the off season.

Yeah, but it looks like you might be scholarship material....

Bink, hate to miss you. Those 'old age' demands are tough but somehow I think you'll be thoroughly entertained.

Just got back home. The day started off with wind/rain but ended up nice after lunch. One of my students started to leave while the pavement was still wet but I suggested he might want to stay for one more session after the track dried off. He did and was very glad since the tires started hooking up and he got the feel of the line while rolling on power through apex and using track out. Another one hooked!! Actually, there were several new faces that were smiling big toward the end of the day. Thanks for another great event, Bill!! Good to see all the old faces, too. Some even older than mine.....

Thanks everyone for coming out.
The rain put a damper on the morning sessions although many drivers went on out and enjoyed the learning experience.

The afternoon sessions were dry and almost perfect conditions. We got some great sessions in and most of the drivers had stuck around to enjoy it.

Thanks again for coming out and hope to see you all on May 8th & 9th at Putnam
