Each bay will have electrical receptacles, overhead lighting, and ceiling fans. The design is similar to the garages at Laguna Seca. We will post actual pictures of garages once they are finished being built. Garages: $75 / 18x20 garage *** Only 15 available! *** Here's what some of the drivers are saying about our events: Torqued Racing Solutions Drivers One of the videos from Putnam Park last year: With all of our events you have full access to all the photos we shoot at the event!

airwg2189 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 @ price increase from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweiser1 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 @ price increase from last year. Yes. I was in the negative last year on the rental fee for Putnam, for various reasons one being price. I significantly decreased pricing in anticipation of getting a lot of registrations that didn't happen due to it being on a Friday and terrible weather. If you check around its on par with all of the other companies. Its actually slightly cheaper due to Putnam raising the rental fee this year for the garages that we can not opt out of. I choose not to pass that increase along to participants. We also offer just as much if not more track time in addition to providing event photography at no cost. Most if not all other companies will charge you for the digital photos. Also if you have attended one of my events I feel strongly you will agree its a fair price for the amount of track time you receive. Just some things to think about when considering the price. Thanks, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 $250 is still cheap for as much track time as you'll get. Plus putnam isn't really much further than Nelson so you can do the drive there and back without staying overnight if you want to watch costs even more. I need to get some stuff sorted with my car but hope to have it ready by the time this event rolls around. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweiser1 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm VERY pleased to announce Dan Clarke Professional Race Car Driver will be instructing at both our Putnam Park Events. Check out his history in F1 and even Nascar in his new blog post on our website! You don't want to pass up this oppertunity! He is even going to be available for 1 on 1 in car sessions. He has helmet radios so that he will be able to provide real time coaching. The 1 on 1 sessions are $50 per session in which you can select when registering. Dan will be leading the Classroom sessions for the group C drivers and Q & A during lunch. Those are at no cost to those who register. The only cost is if you want a 1 on 1 session with Dan.

Brrcats Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 how noob friendly is the event? I'm interested in getting into a couple track days this year, but it would be a first time thing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweiser1 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 how noob friendly is the event? I'm interested in getting into a couple track days this year, but it would be a first time thing for me. We provide 3 classroom instruction sessions in addition to the lead/follow session which is the beginners group first session. In many cases the first time on a road course. In addition we always have a group of guys that are available throughout the day for ride alongs. I strongly suggest coming out to our Putnam Events if its your first time. With Dan coaching its not something you will want to miss! Thanks, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Trust me on this, theres more track time to be had here than with anyone else, I used an entire tank of fuel there in just the one day and didn't run as much as i can, didn't do that at VIR, well worth it. Very noob friendly, easy going with all the guys that attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wish I could swing this. May/June/July will be expensive months for us. Car and Homeowners insurance is due, wife will be getting a new car, and having 1 month of double payments, and the Rally in June, which will cost north of 2k. Hope to run a track day this year though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not about doing this on 2 hours of sleep. :fuuuu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Damn.. Have a RallyX event the following weekend. I can't ask for two Saturdays off in a row. Some day I'll get the STI on a road course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweiser1 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I got some further clarification from Dan on his coaching services at the event. See below: To add further detail, I can offer riding with the driver and also driving, to show lines and speeds better and also check the setup of the driver's car. I'm also considering adding to the classroom session with a track walk. Taking cars on track for each driver interested, getting out at each important turn, and giving a brief talk of the DOs and DONTs before the track session opens. Further to that, I may procure a digital camera and, using a tripod, film the morning session of Turn1 and offer a personal one-on-one guide for each driver to help them better drive that turn after watching them go through it. And do the same for another turn, probably turn 8 or 10, for the afternoon. I hope you guys can make it! Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
