Any road course in the midwest?

[SpaldingPM]

Hello. I'm interested in getting my car on a track. I'm an experienced track day guy when it comes to liter bikes, but I'd like to get the s550 out there.
Is there any upcoming events this spring where there are open track days, anywhere around the midwest?

Putnam Park is close to you. 10/10ths does a bunch of track days there.

Putnam Park

+1 on Putnam Park with 10/10ths. I went twice last year and had a blast. There are several Mustangs there and everyone is helpful. If you are planning to do the two day and spend the night, PM me and I can give you some info on the local hotels.

There are a bunch of options in the Midwest, I have personally run with MVP Track Time, 10/10ths, Rezoom, Chen Motorsports, and the folks that run and own NCM. They are all good people. I have hit just about every track in the Midwest and Texas. We have a lot to choose from and there is always something going on just about every weekend.

Must hit tracks in the Midwest:
Road Atlanta, AMP, Road America, Putnam Park, NCM, Mid Ohio, Gingerman, Autobaun Country Club (full course), COTA, Barber Motorsport Park are just a few that are within driving or trailer distance from you.

Here is a few links you will want to check out:

and THE combined list of track days can be found here:

Have fun and make sure you let us know what you decide to do.

Don't forget VIR(Virginia International Raceway), phenomenal track, about a half day's drive from you.

COTA is an awesome track. I go to MotoGP every April there and would love to do a motorcycle track day there and car track day. Too bad I live a little too far away.

It would be my dream to hit road atlanta in a car. One of my favorite all around courses for liter bikes, so I'm sure it would be equally as awesome in a car.
