Grattan MI Track Day - May 30th,

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to spread the word of our first track day at Grattan this year! This will be the first of two visits to this exciting and challenging Track. We know how much everyone loves this Track. We hope to get a great turn out here on May 30st, and we're positive you'll want to come back for July 26th

Cost has not changed for 2007, it will be $150.

To sign up for the event, reply to the registration post on the 3BallsRacing site with the following information:

Name:
Car:
Experience Level:
Preferred Run Group:

The schedule for the actual track day is as follows:

* 7:00AM Gates open
* 8:30AM Mandatory drivers’ meeting
* 9:00AM Group A hits the track
* 9:00AM Instruction session for all people in C and D group plus anyone interested
* 9:20AM Groups C and D will do a lead-follow session with instructors (about 5 laps at lower speeds)
* 9:40AM Group B on track
* 10:00AM Group C on track
* 10:20AM Group D
* 10:40AM Group A (after this, we will rotate through the groups A,B,C,D)
* The groups will continue to rotate throughout the day. These times are not exact and depend on any cautions, weather delay, etc.

* 1:00PM Back on track
* 5:00PM Track Closed

Drivers’ Meeting

The drivers’ meeting is mandatory. Anyone not attending the meeting will not be allowed on track without visiting the event coordinator. During the drivers’ meeting, the use and meaning of all the flags will be covered, as well as passing zones, track in and out locations, and all other basic rules. All track and weather specific rules will also be covered.


Just like the other events, The registration is setup so that all posts must be approved by the moderators, and you will not see your post until we go in and approve it. Your post will be approved once payment is received. (Paypal or check) check the thread on the 3BallsRacing website for payment details.

Hope to see some EVO's out with us!

Just to let everyone know, there are only 20cars signed up (hence me on the board trying to get more people to come). But with such few numbers, you can expect a good 4hrs of track time if you can take it! To sign up just click on my sig.

Awsome!

Quick update for everyone... There's still very few cars signed up, so we'll have only 3 run groups with less than 10 cars in each. That means ton of track time for everone! If you want a solid 3-4 hrs or so of track time, sign up now!

Thanks, and we'll see some of you guys there!

Pics? Fun was had by all even the vette guys got a few good laps in. It was possible to get 3 full hours of track time if you wanted to, I think I got 160 minutes myself. Grattan is one hella rolercoaster track, lots of blind turns also, not too bad on brakes but my tires took a beating.

The rain part was interesting because the track has no curbs to take out wheels if you cant get the car back in shape fast enough after it get away from you. You definitely got me thinking about my next set of tires though.
