Putnam Park Track day June 29th

[Kitcat]

This track day in an annual event sponsored by my friends at Predator Motorsport (www.predatormotorsport.com). It is at Putnam Park race track, about 50' southwest of Indy, about 2 1/2 hours from Cincy, where I live.

 

At $275 it is one of the bigger track day bargains. There are only 2 run groups (fast & slow/newbie). Typically they combine into a single open track group in the late afternoon as attrition wears people, and cars, out during the day. So you just go out drive as much as you want, come in, take a break & head back out.

 

There is no instruction tho you can typically with a ride with an experienced driver and get tips and the lay of the land. I know I am cursing it, but in my 10 or so years of doing events with these guys I don't recall any "incidents" other than cars just breaking down mechanically.

 

Putnam Park is a nice Sevens venue with lots of twisties and a good-sized straight (where I hit about 100 mph in my horsepower challenged Crossflow). When riding in my friend's "vette a few years back we were topping 140 mph at the end of the straight.

 

Hope to see you there.

Less than a month away & still lots of openings. BBall, I'd love to run with you again this year. With better tires, etc., etc, maybe I could stay a little closer this time?
