Tempt anyone to ride share?

Very tempting, but money is all gone for track time this season. :-/

     Turn 1 at Putnam is somewhat deceptive, you can go thru it alot faster than it seems at 1st. The track is very flowing and when I was last there in the late 90's it had incredible grip, but at the expense of tire wear. BFR gearing would be a good place to start and would probably work very well. The only real safety issue with the whole track, as I remember it, is the pit wall on the outside of the last turn when coming onto the front straight.

That, and there is no camping at the track.  Hotels are close by but availiability is questionable (this is the same weekend as the covered bridge festival).

Still grippy and swoopy and a pretty fun track tho.
