Default Gingerman Raceway HPDE, Sept 25 with Sectator Racing

Stressed out at work? Wife or girlfriend got you down? Come on down for our version of therapy - Track Therapy! Fall is here, which means it's time to start thinking about finishing your summer off right with a high speed event at Gingerman Raceway.

Spectator Racing has a new website, www.tracktherapy.com, head on over to sign up.

As always, we'll have 4 run groups ranging from beginner to advanced. Instructors are available upon request for ANYONE. It doens't matter if it's your first time ever on track or if you'd like some advanced tips from our experienced race drivers.

We'll serve you hot coffee in the morning while your car is in tech. The track goes hot at 9:00 am, the day is over at 5:00 pm. Somewhere in between we'll have our usual catered lunch in the pavilion.

A Snell 1995 or newer helmet is required for all drivers, convertibles are allowed with a roll bar (not cosmetic hoops, please). Sport trucks are always welcome!

For more information, post here, head to the website, PM me, or send an email to:

info@tracktherapy.com

See you there!

Kubiak we'll paint Rob's car red and put a 363 on the side of it in your honor. BTW, I changed the rear pads the other day and was about 1/2mm away from needing the ones you brought to Mid-O. I pieced together a set with what was left of my race pads and some old street pads I still had...it rained all day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to see how that experiment worked out.

Need to get some DTC60's on the way from Jay Andrew...

It's mostly the fact that the car hasn't been raced in two years, I'm not carrying around the full set of spares that I usually do. Time to build up the stocks again...

Things are coming together and it looks like I will be able to make it (assuming no surprises tomorrow). Since it is so close to the event, I'll register at the track.

See you all soon.

Yessir, we're all camping. Gates are open tonight. I'm planning to get there by 7, sooner if possible but that never happens...

Glad you guys are coming!

And for anyone who's on the fence, I've done the schedule and we're doing 3 run groups instead of 4, meaning one session per hour, meaning more than 2 hours of track time!

That means you can drive all day, or not feel bad about skipping a session if you need a break.
