| Re: Gingerman STT days 8/23-24 Hi, SP I'm hoping to go that weekend, and I'm really trying to go to the CCS weekend 9/28, since that may be a smaller group. Here's a link to a map from the site :http://www.gingermanraceway.com/ track map You'll have to click on 'track specs', apparently. Hope I did that right. As you'll see, there are a lot of looong radius turns, so keep looking as far as you can all the way through them. Sounds simple, but there you go. The double apex left(s)at 5 and 6 gave some people fits. The guys who hosted the track day told us the line was pretty wide out of 5 to set up for 6, and that seemed to take some drama out of it. * The straights are short, and require attention ( wow, time to brake already? ) The right onto the front straight has some bumps that made me decide to get a steering damper ! I had fun there. Hope to meet you |

| Re: Gingerman STT days 8/23-24 Thanks CBRVFR, sounds like good advice. Hope you can make it. Abtech, could you elaborate? Their website states they're one of the safest tracks around. What in particular should I watch out for? Thanks! |
