Title: LW twins lap times at Gingerman?
Post by: Wade_Parish on July 05, 2002, 10:05:56 AM
  Hello,

   Can anybody give me a rough idea of what kind of lap times the LW twins class does at Gingerman? Just did a track-day there. What a blast!

   Thanks,

 Wow, looks like I'm pretty far off the pace. :o :-[  What do the SLOWEST novice LW riders run? :D How about Clubman? It was only my second track-day and I was riding an essentially stock Honda Hawk, but I was hoping I was closer than THAT! I was there July 4th with the Desmo of Indiana group.

  Thanks for the reply!

That was an avarage expert time that I was running.  I would guest that mid pack am. are running around 32's.?  I was there on the 3rd with a group of guys.  Is there a site to check out trackdays through Desmo?

Yeah, www.desmoindiana.org

 I think they mostly just do track days at Putnam during IMS race weekends (Indy 500, Brickyard, F1) and the 4th of July at Gingerman. Cool group of guys as far as I can tell. Organized, fun, safe, and a helluva-lot more affordable ($135) than some others I've seen (NESBA $250!).

  Thanks again for the info,

  Wade

No problem. So, is that 1:35 an average expert time or mid-pack amateur?
