rubbersidedown Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Putnam is probably the best combination of close and affordable for you. Mid-Ohio is closer, but also the most expensive track day around. Plus it's worthless in the rain, whereas Putnam is still rideable. I agree, Putnam, and Nelson Ledges are the best options for a first time track day based on price and distance. I will also add because of the technical aspects of the tracks. I had been doing track days for several years before going to Mid-O and I found the track a challenge my first time. The elevation changes and limited line of sight was something that I had to learn to deal with at MO. Then there was the speed you carry on the back stretch. (not and issue as much in Novice till the afternoon.) I have done 140 on several tracks but getting up to 160 and then slowed back down for turn 4...whew! So yes Putnam and NL are good first timer tracks. I like STT and Motoseries Novice schools for first timers. Mid O runs a good Novice program but the track is the issue as I stated above.

Helmutt Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I rode Putnam for my first trackday, it was a great experience. Very forgiving track, simple lines to help you work on consistencies at an easier rate, and hardly any undulation/elevation changes so there aren't any off camber turns to cope with. I highly suggest it for a first timer. Not saying you can't be a first time trackday'er at MidO, but it will be a lot more to soak in and adapt to in comparison with Putnam or the like..
