Great Lakes Lotus Clubs next track event is set for Gingerman Raceway, Monday August 11th J Hopefully youll all consider joining us at Gingerman it will be a great day of driving! As the track may be unfamiliar, I thought some more info might help please see the attached PDF.
In case you cant access the attached PDF, brief details follow:
Gingerman Raceway
Gingerman is a relatively new track, located some 6 miles east of the resort town of South Haven on the west coast of Michigan and approximately 180 miles from Birmingham. In contrast to Waterford it has very friendly run-off areas, the track is wider and the few walls and barriers are set some distance from the track surface. It is a great track for relative novices due to the very high level of safety, but offers significant technical challenge with decreasing radius, complex and sequenced corners which satisfy everyone up to and including advanced drivers.
To get a good overview of the track, see the video (shot from the roof of one Exige, following another) at: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v14894093MBpDwMcY
Registration & Cost
Usual place: registration for the Event is at http://gllc.motorsportreg.com. The event costs $150 for Members (until July 28th) and $175 thereafter or for Non-Members.
Note that membership is $40 and will also give you a significant break on pricing for our Grattan event in the Fall membership can also be obtained at http://gllc.motorsportreg.com
Logistics & Lodging
Gingerman Raceway is approximately 180 miles from Detroit so options include driving out and back in a day, or (much better) drive out on the Sunday night then return Monday night. Gingerman is very near South Haven and other resort areas, so Drivers could also make it a long weekend with a spouse or family J
There are several hotels approximately 6 miles west of the track at exit 20 on I-196, however, these can be expensive in the summer months as South Haven and surrounding areas are very popular resort destinations. Since the track event is just one day, drivers will likely be looking for lodging for the Sunday night the best options are to stay near the Interstate on the way to the track nr. either Kalamazoo (35 miles away) or Benton Harbor (25 miles away). Hotel suggestions are included in the Pre-Event Packet available for download at http://www.greatlakeslotus.com or directly at http://www.autoeuropesales.com/gll/content/PreEventPacketGingerman2008.pdf
Directions & Distance
From Birmingham, MI it takes around 3 hours to travel the 180 miles to the track very possible to travel out and back in a day, but easier to travel out the night before see Lodging above
