I will be there the weekend before with Gridlife competing in Time Attack http://www.grid.life/

Make sure you get a good drive on to the back straight...especially if you are in a lower powered car.

http://www.gingermanraceway.com/event-calendar.html I have a friend who goes to the CGI days there and likes the group. I'm not sure their views on LeMons car though.

The track is pretty straight forward. There's plenty of runoff room and there isn't much to hit other than T11 but even there they moved the fence back a couple of years ago so you'd really have to screw up (or get pushed) to hit anything hard.

There are plenty of laps on YouTube if you're looking for "the line".

Here's Scaryfast's ST3 video from last summer. Once he clears traffic Jon starts running the faster (non-defensive) line.

I'm running next weekend too and bringing my race miata for the test day Friday. Any car can run the Friday test day. It's pretty cheap, register through the Gman website

what are you running for Lemons? I'll be in an orange 1993 Mercedes. If you were at Joliet this summer we had the dinosaur on top
