Looking at the track requirements, we might need to get locking gas caps.

Track time

I will be on Gingerman in West Michigan May 9 with an instructor and Mid Ohio with an instructor on May 20. I can't wait! I want to get the most out of Miller Motorsports park with they kick off the Track-Attack.

You might want to check the track condition, I heard the surface was questionable. Cresson south of Granbury

Cresson is awesome, I've ran both tracks and the 1.7 I thought was the best one with the long straights. It has been awhile since I have been and want to go back down.

Have fun. What if anything are you going to do to your Boss to prep it for the track? I would think Dot 4 would be a must. Check the helmet requirements, most tracks require a Snell SA2005 rating or newer. Most motorcycle helmets do not have a Snell rating.

The Gingerman event is a CGI Motorsports program http://www.cgimotorsports.com/
basically a track day with instructors available, an Extra $50 if you want them to ride along with you. Its a Monday, great because I am assuming it won't me crowded but its also a vacation day from Work.

Mid Ohio is a Fri/Sat/Sun program with Friday being a track day with instruction. Sat/Sun looks like amature racing needing a Racing license. Here is the link http://www.wor-games.com/ the Friday track school is the PDX (performance Driving Experience)
If any of you guys will be at either event, PM and and we will link up.

Hey, I also live close. 30 min. to Gingerman and 45-50 to Gratten.

If my Boss delivers this week, I might consider.

Revisiting this thread to bump this post as I think it's a great idea. Perhaps a stickied thread either in here or in the road racing forum? I'd like to make the first contribution to the list, just need someone to start the thread and maintain it with updated info.
