Oct. 6-7 Putnam Park! Options

[Hornswoggler]

Marcus thought you guys might be interested in keeping in the loop on these sort of events. Here is an HPDE event at Putnam Park Oct 6-7:


This is a NASA (National Auto Sport Association) event, crossing between their Midwest chapter and OH/IN chapter. To participate, you must become a NASA member, which is $40 a year. My favorite benefit of being a member is the included subscription to Grassroots Motorsport magazine (very nice!).

Putnam has a track rule that Snell SA (special applications) helmets are required... Snell M (motorcycle) will NOT pass tech inspection for this track. This is not a NASA rule but a Putnam Park rule. Helmet must be SA2000 or SA2005.

Putnam Park is about 30 miles West of Indianapolis. Link to track HERE.

Cost is $275 for both days. Intermediate and advanced students can rent transponders for laptimes.

Link to event registration

I was going to wait until registration was open before creating this thread, but if we can all sort out our schedules and funding ahead of time, once the registration site goes live, we can hopefully all get in before its full. With the season coming to a close soon, choices are few and I think this would make for a great group event. I have sent an e-mail requesting pricing and asking when registration will open.

NASA does provide classroom instruction and some in-car instructors for novice students. If this is your first event, I recommend contacting the organizers to verify what kind of instruction is available. When/if possible, I also volunteer to ride with and/or offer rides during my on-track sessions (not that I know the course, lol).
