Revelstoker Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I would recommend Putnam for the first events vs. Mid-ohio. Mid-Ohio is a great track but they rarely run on the weekends. Putnam is close, easy to learn and has enough challenges to keep it interesting. STT is the group you will want to run with for the first couple events due to the school they run, which is equivalent to Mid-O. However, Putnam has a classroom and Mid-O is in a garage that you can't hear much and there are tons of distractions. On track sessions are quite equivalent. As others have mentioned check out the Ducati Indy/Commonwealth events along with the STT days. STT has classroom sessions, Indy/Commo and most of the other orgs that run Putnam do not off the classroom sessions. All seem to run a Novice, Inter. and Advanced format. I am in Dayton and try to make the Indy/Commo days. I have a trailer and all the other crap, so let me know if you want to run one of those days. Mid-O tends to have a weekend event around May 15th. If so, I will probably try to make that event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Mid Ohio is a great track, but as noted, mostly weekdays. This site usually has good info, but looks like they don't have 2014 up yethttp://www.trackdayriders.com/?action=schedulesDistance and overall cost can vary. But it's a blast!

RHill Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Man, the sessions after lunch are the best ones....you need to follow my lead; sleep in an extra 2 hours and miss the first two sessions, those might as well just be sighting laps anyway.

RSparky Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 if your still in dayton- im in troy. I have truck, trailer and I'm set up for three bikes. If you wanted to split fuel costs, we could certainly figure something out.Looks like the consensus is Putnam with stt. No dates up yet, when does that usually get posted?

RSparky Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Like a gift for all the junkies. Do they go so fast that one has to sign up right away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 No, they will sometimes sell out but not usually until a few weeks before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've even signed up about three days before. It seems to just depend on the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 STT dates tends to be the same as previous years. Some of early events fill up fast as everyone is anxious to get out and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
