MV 10: GingerMan Raceway

[MM03MOK]

Putting the info up front for our evening at GingerMan.

GingerMan's Rules and Regulations:

http://www.gingermanraceway.com/rules-and-regulations


For Parade Lap: no helmet or clothing requirements.

I would like everyone to attend the drivers meeting. It's a great introduction to performance road course driving, even if you're doing just the parade lap.

Gingerman does require helmets. Helmet must be SNELL or DOT approved and must be 2005 or newer. Josh from GingerMan said they have 3 or 4 helmets they can loan us. The Track instructor company may have more and I will ask. With some members driving in the advanced or intermediate groups, their helmets might be available as well. If you are borrowing a helmet, I suggest a headsock or a bandana be wore.

Long pants are required. Long sleeves are optional but suggested. Cotton strongly suggested. Closed toe tie shoes are required. No sandals or slip-on shoes.

Right now we have 15 registered for GingerMan: 11 Novice and 4 Intermediate

To make sure we have enough instructors, I strongly suggest you register ASAP and definitely by August 20. This will allow the driving school enough time to contact instructors and make arrangements.

Here's the instructor information:

Does anyone know how much a snell helmut cost?

While the track will allow short sleeve shirts, the fire-retardant racing jacket is a great idea.

OK, stupid question...it looks like multiple car are normally out on the track at a time. Will we be going out one at a time, or will there be multiple cars on the track?

Take a look at the first link Bunny posted the rules and regulations. I think that will answer your question.

There will be multiple cars on the track but there will be space between the cars. Not a concern. Single file - no running two abreast.

The jacket is not required! There will be plenty of helmuts to use.

Because we need to arrange for in-car instructors for Novices ahead of time, we will be closing GingerMan registration on August 25. Do not delay in registering. This is a great opportunity to experience a road course and at your own pace. It's not a race, it's all about control and safety.

If you are Intermediate or Advanced and do not require in-car instruction, you may register up until the event.

Phil from CGI Motorsports says any DOT approved helmet will work for our activities for this event only. This would not be the case in most any other road course event.
