Grattan / Gingermann?

CMRA?

what mark said, probably WERA... with the great plains being kinda defunct and running BFR 84 times in a year sounds just plain DULL, I'm thinkin I might do a mix of wera, some CMRA and some CCS... yeah 3 liscense will suck balls but I wanna race where I wanna race and instead of whinning about it and hoping CCS puts together a schedule that is perfect for me, I'll make my own perfect schedule.

little tally, barber, road atlanta sounds better than BFR, GIR and HPT...

im not logging any endurance miles on my SV motor... it will be all sprints and a few GT's if I need a little extra set up time.  Now if someone needed an endurance partner I'd be up for splitting costs.

HE IS ALIVE....I was worried you sold your racebike, retired from the cheese factory and moved to the Dells permanently!

That's a very good possibility, Mark. Although, I am looking forward to the team challenges this coming year. Looks like I'm going to have to go from R.A to the camper at the Dells over the July 4th weekend so I can get out on the new pontoon.

There goes that.
Looks like I'm skipping Gateway like I said. Have fun putting it all on the line at that hole if you go. Waste of a trip if you ask me.
Same as last year except Road America. I'm sure we will have a good turn out there. I'm planning for it now!
I'll bring some spectators to this race for sure! Gonna start advertising it at my shop!

So is there anybody on this forum that wouldn't go to Grattan or Gingerman? If so why?

I'd like to see those tracks back on our race schedule. Even just 1 race weekend to try it out.

The only issue that I can recall at Grattan is Turn 9 or 10 the hairpin turn. Short on run off. That was before airfence was ever around. If airfence was placed there I couldn't think of a nicer track.
There is no better feeling than turn 3 off camber downhill back uphill, the jump before turn 5, and the bowl. That whole track rocks!!!

Lets bring back a kind of Great Lakes series again!!

I travel from KC to Grattan almost every year for a three day track day event just to get my Grattan fix.  If it was on the CCS schedule I'd attend.  Only other track that has near the fun value for me is Hallett.  Off camber, blind entry, elevation changes, its all there.

Grattan's in the first phase of a three year repave.  It's going to be sweet!

Its a decent track. Its gateways sister track, so the layout shares some similarities. Just bigger and faster and safer for the most part. It has a bigger and faster T1 than gateway, a super tight section, followed by a cool flowing and uphill entrance onto the banking then another cool flowing downhill entrance off the banking, then a couple quick corners before another big version of the last turn at gateway, wider and faster putting you 5th gear wide open by the end of it, then straight onto the banking for a long run down to T1, its one of the faster tracks you will go to, I had to run a 17/45 there on the SV, only RA had taller gearing at 17/43. The only downside is the track is very abrasive and eats tires, upside obviously being amazing traction and excellent wet grip.

Thank you Ben!
