Gingerman Raceway Test and tune video!!
Hey guys,
little did I know that a somewhat local track in South Haven MI, Gingerman Raceway. Has 3hr test and tune sessions. Well i made a couple run videos of the track day. I ended up running in the 1:34's on a street tire. I was pretty happy with that for my first time there. Well here are a couple videos..... .....enjoy! ! ! ! !

Nice vids, brings back some memories. My first track day was at Gingerman, now a year later I have 5 events under my belt. The rest have been at Grattan in Belding, MI.. If you can venture a little farther from home, Grattan is only another hour from Gingerman, but the track is well worth it. Check out Grattanraceway.com (I think thats what it is) and see for yourself. My last event this year is there on October 25 and right now there is plenty of room AND its only $150 for the day. I wish I would have started tracking a long time ago, I am hooked.
Have fun!
Have fun!

Was that sun up, or sun down - it's rough with it in your eyes.
Looks like that track is mostly 4th gear with some stuff in 3rd? Street tires = lots of work. Fun little goat ranch there to lap on

Gingerman is lots of fun, and safe too. I never drove Grattan at speed, but attended a NASA Midwest event, and it looks nice as well save for a nasty blind uphill right-hander right before the front straight that sent lots of cars right into a giant sand trap. Photogs got some great shots at Grattan though, because spots in the middle of the track got you views of the entire layout.

Yea gingerman was a ton of fun! This is my second year doing track days/ time attacks and i had never made it up. I mainly go to blackhawk and autobahn north and south course. And i have done both the rta at gateway. But gingerman has a little bit of elevation change so that made it really fun!
I usually dont pay attention to practice times or anything, but all my honda friends said i wouldnt be able to run times close to a couple of crazy K20 hatches and this crazy crx. So i was up for the challenge!!! LOL

Last year I had one of the only EVOs in my area..... this year people have been buying them like crazy. Normally I think its retarded when everyone buys the same car but the 5 EVO deep 7 hour road trip to Gingerman was a blast.
We might be attending the Sept 17th open track day at Blackhawk. We haven't committed to it just yet but it looks promising. Interested?

I am certainly going to get out and try some new tracks next year, but I am paid on my next Grattan event on October 25 and I am saving some cash for my trip to the U.P. to watch the Lake Superior Pro Rally the weekend before (gas and 3 days lodging will get me). You are in WI right, if you are into rally at all that will be worth seeing. It the last event for the season and points are usually close, so they are going ***** out. I will get some pics up when I get back either way.
