| Grattan Trackday 8/5 sponsored by LOOKWELL Saw this on another board - LOOKWELL sponsors its first track day in the US and we invite all types of
riders with all kind of motorcycles. We will have three or four groups and
we would like to encourage riders that might think they are not experienced
enough or do not have the right motorcycle. We will have a cruiser class as
well, so come out for a fun day where you can ride within your abilities,
while sharpening your riding skills.
We will have a limited amount of entries which will and ensure more than
enough track time.
Our instructors are active racers who's main concern is to have fun safely,
while they will also work with you individually to sharpen your skills for
the road, so please note that nobody will be too slow or to inexperienced to
fit into a group.
LOOKWELL has a prize giving at the end of the day and three lucky entrants
will each win a prize, with the first prize being a LOOKWELL race spec
leather suit!
The entry fee is only $100 and the date is Friday August the 5th at Grattan
Raceway, 7201 Lessiter, Grattan MI 48809.
Check in will start at 7:00am, a track walk will begin around 8:00am, first
group will be on track at 9:00am.
Please call Jeff at 616-531-3900 to register ASAP, as we only have limited
availability.
