Anyone need some track time

My friend Shawn Carpenter at Smuckers stated that some people were getting together to rent the gingermanraceway for May 29th (Memorial Day Weekend)

The web site to the raceway is http://www.gingermanraceway.com

It is located in South Haven MI.

Pretty much take the turnpike to 196 and take it north.

South Haven is located on the west side of Michigan.

If we get enough people, everyone is looking at $150.00 for the day. I can say it is filling up quickly.

Jason Kennedy is the sponser. His email address is jason8225@yahoo.com

Please email him if you are interested and state you know me who knows Shawn.

You will need a safe car and a helmet. Convertibles are able to run on the track also. Will possibly take my Z3 if I get the rear suspension done in time (installing rear cam bolts in the trail arms to line it back up). There are no walls so if you lose if off the track, your pride will be smashed but not your car.

Gingerman is a fun track & I enjoyed it, but to say it is safe to run off track because there are no walls is not exactly correct. Last turn onto the pit straight has a wall looking at you. On the outside of turn 1 is a lot of nice grass that hides a sand berm. I know of one MINI that met its maker there. RIP MINI...

Do you know that you can run at Nelson for less money & it's in your backyard?

If you go have fun, but be careful on track.

Well,

When you put any car on a race track, there is always a risk.

Thanks for the info ....

I agree with you 110%. You'd be surprised at how many don't realize the risk.
