Schedule a day off work on Monday May 5th and come out to Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI with Pfadt Race Engineering. Meet the crew from Pfadt Racing, hang out with other forum members, and enjoy a great day at the track!

ABOUT THE TRACK

GingerMan Raceway is a private road-racing course situated on a 350-acre site. The track is 1.88 miles long, twisting left and right and up and down on the naturally rolling landscape. It simulates a country road, but without the risks to pedestrians and oncoming traffic and eliminates other hazards such as ditches, phone poles, trees and other objects.

This relatively new facility was built on vacant farmland, which contained aged and past-their-prime apple and cherry orchards. The track layout was developed by Alan Wilson of Motorsports Development, Denver, Colorado, to take advantage of the natural terrain.

HOW MUCH?

For $100 per driver you can bring your Corvette to our Open Track Day Event, and enjoy a safe day of fast laps, meet some of our staff, and get a look at some exciting new products. We’ll separate the attendees into three skill levels based on previous track day experience. And if you’re not interested in driving on the track but want to come see the action, just come on out!

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

1. Give us a call at 888-972-2464 and reserve your spot
2. Do a safety inspection on your car, including changing the brake fluid
3. Schedule the day off work
4. Convertibles are only allowed if they have a roll bar
5. Come on out and meet our crew!

If you have any questions please give us a call at 888-972-2464. We hope to see you there!

Hey Aaron, are you guys constantly at the track. I saw on the other forum the thread for the one by you at Miller's. I wish I could go! Looks like it's going to be a great time. One day soon....

I was wondering what you guys suggest suspension wise for my set up. I will be staying N/A and under 500rwhp in my 2004 coupe. As of right now I have the 2004 Z51 shocks, springs, sways(rear same as Z06). I do use the car and plan on doing some kind of autocross/hpde's a few times a year, but mainly a street/canyon carver. What do you guys think would be the best set up for me? On the other forum you got people lovin' the C6 Z51 set up. Thanks!!:cheers:

You should give us a call and we can talk about setups that would work best for you. It is too hard to suggests setups over the forums... There are just too many questions.

We do spend a substantial amount of time at the track! It's a rough life! :lol: We have to make sure that everything we sell is up to the task of tearing up the track! :burnout:

Race looks like a good time, man that is tempting! Hey wanted to ask you guys if you or anyone makes a "in car" adjustable shock system. I keep hitting the front of my car on dips, driveways, speed bumps. I have called a few companies and getting nowhere.

Any ideas?

:iagree: I would like to go to one of these tracks at least once. Not really a racer but would like to say I have been there and done that at least once. Michigan is a little far of a drive for me. Hope everyone has a good time. :cheers:

You know there are a couple big tracks closer to you, Spring Mountain and Bondorant, and Willo Springs in Cali somewhere?

Hey thanks, I have heard of these tracks from my magazines. I'm what you would call a conservative driver, you won't find videos of me and my Vette on youtube doing donuts! Nothing wrong with that, actually I like watching them! There where some guys at the last meet talking about hitting up a track down south this summer. I might go with them? Who knows, need to see how things play out.

Go to a parking lot, make sure no one is around. Stop your car and then just mash down on the GO Juice! You'll find yourself looking to get to these little track events! Once you start its all over from there. :cheers:

Just takes one time... the next thing you know you will be changing to race slicks every weekend. :cheers:
