Here is national schedule...

April 19 Gateway
Saturday?

May 17 Gingerman Raceway
Saturday at Gingerman?

September 12 Gateway
LP or Midwest Rider?

September 27 Gingerman
Saturday? Really?

I am confused.  Eric said that there will be 2 at Gateway June 13 and Sept 12 but these are both Friday's.  April 19 at Gateway is a Saturday but it is not a race weekend.  It looks like Gingerman May 17 and Sept 27 which are the only 2 Gingerman's on the race schedule for MW/GP/GL.  So there is a LP trackday on a Saturday which is a race day!  What is the schedule for the day?  Will it be like a Learning Curves school were they get 3 sessions throughout the day?

[DRU2]

From what I can see theres 2 sat. and 4 fridays LP track daysthe Friday LP days are at Mid-America, Blackhawk, Gateway. those wont be as bad as the saturdays.

The Fridays at Gateway are put on by Midwest Rider, unless CCS changed something, but I talked to Neville today and confirmed his dates. The weekends at Gateway, April 19th and May 18th don't occur during races and are being put on by Midwest Rider with a focu on cruisers. Check their site, www.midwestrider.com.

Gingerman? Saturday? Really? If so, cool for me, too bad for the racers. :) Mid America too. For me next season there will be a few factors that can help me justify the travel expense and time for MAM, Gingerman, and Gateway. 1) I get to ride, automatically worth the trip. :) 2) race coverage, if I'm doing it next season... and of course 3) people buy photos which helps me cover costs.  

So I'm excited about getting the opportunity to get out for a few sessions instead of just watching all the fun. But I'm a special case. Not sure why someone would go to all the trouble for just a few sessions and not an entire track day. I'd rather just tack on an extra day and get some time in on Monday or Friday.

It should be interesting....

Oil, do you really think all of the street squids will drain there coolant or that tech will check what's in the radiator!  The schedule on the other thread on this topic showed all amateur racers combined with the advanced trackday class for practice. This strikes me as unsafe for everyone involved.  I would suggest 3 Ambulances on the premises.
