Gingerman - 5-25-12 - EVOpalooza
I'm pretty sure they run nothing but the new extension. Last time I was there the original configuration looked abandoned/unused. I think that's their new track layout.
Anybody been there within the past 12 months and actually used the original layout WITHOUT the new extension?
Anyways, BUMP for only a few days to go!

I was there in April, they run the new addition only, and run reverse direction on day two.
^cool, thanks.
See you guys there! Givin the car a quick wash and swapping out wheels then I'm leaving. Will hopefully be in South Haven at 3pm EST
(don't forget they're an hour ahead)

In a bit of a bind here..
For those of you that are trailing the car...
One of my ramps got stolen off my trailer. I managed to get the car on the trailer ok with some make believe ramps, but really need some help getting it off. Anyone willing to help lend a ramp at the track tomorrow. Please let me know.

If some of you guys are going to be around until later tonight or early tomorrow & not taking off, I'd like to meet up. Will be driving up with the wife after my company workshop from Ann Arbor - could grab a beer with a few of you if you'd like
Thanks for having us out.. And big thanks to John with the trailer/lift, to bad for the clutch. Was truly a great day for racing. I have a little in car footage if anyone is interested.

What a great time, I will attend if it happens again next year. Great group of Evos on all skill levels. This was my first actual track event, I think I'm hooked. Now if i could just hit the Mega Millions.
Thanks to everybody that came out, I hope everybody had as much fun as I did (blue Evo X with the giant ricer wing).
There's already talks for EvoPalooza 2 next year, and maybe we'll expand it to a Gingerman day and Blackhawk Farms day if Blackhawk Farms is cooperative.
Also would like to say thanks for everybody being friendly and having great track etiquette. I don't think there was a single time I was stuck behind somebody who wouldn't point by and everybody seemed to be pretty safe out there, I hope the BMW guy calms down a bit though, he was a tad bit reckless.

This was a great event and by far had the most fun this time round. To all that helped med with the ramps for my trailer (Mine got jacked the night before) A big thank you. Chad and Frank, thank you for a great time at this track. Def. a great track, but of course had to cut my time a bit short (Clutch was on its way out). So far im 3 for 3 on breaking something at the track this year. I hope to see all of you at the next event. Thank you again to all for a great crowd of folks, learned allot and cant wait for the next event.
As a side note: Frank, you are an animal on track. <-- (this is a compliment) Only got to go out with you once, and that didn't last long as i pointed you buy. I just didn't know the track well enough, and fear of putting the hammer down around the bends was enough to slow me up for the duration.

Thanks to all that made it, I'm glad everyone had a great time. I'm already working on getting this set up for next year with Gingerman. I'm planning on keeping it about the same size, no more than 40 cars. It was great to have the track wide open and have plenty of room. I stuck around the next day and drove with another group, and was easily the fastest in the Intermediate group...this is in comparison to the our Intermediate, in which I wasn't the fastest. Shows the caliber our our cars and our drivers.
If you didn't go this year, please try to make it next year!
