A friend of mine is putting together a track day at Grattan Raceway, which is east of Grand Rapids and NW from Lansing Michigan. It is an open day. 4 heats of 10 cars. So far we have 9 registerd but they are filling up quick so you might want to register soon to reserve your spot. Cost is $125 and the date is Thursday May 11.
For more information about the track day and to register visit http://events.kzoorice.com/ For more information about the track see http://www.grattanraceway.com/ |

1 week away.
131 mph? I was wondering about this. I have have a 3.42 axle as well and my TPI redlines at 5500 and I have the auto trans. I'm good for 120mph in third. It looks like you drive a 4th gen with an LS1 so you have about 50 more HP than I. I bought the full throttle upshift kit but I probably won't have time to install. I may be alright with out it. I have bigger problems deal with now. |

I just don't want to hear that you had to find a roll back to get a ride home. This post has been edited by nape: May 7 2006, 12:59 AM |

Wow this sure sounds like fun and it's only 90 minutes from my house!
I've always wanted to try out Gratten. ..Too bad I still have the car in pieces. Maybe next time, eh? |

QUOTE (ws6transam @ May 7 2006, 09:21 PM) Maybe next time, eh? We got the track again for July 28th. Will you have the car back together by then? I was on your site a few weeks ago and thought about emailing you about the event since I saw that you are close, but couldn't find your email or something. To re-cap the event... It rained the whole time, but it still ended up being a great time. The best part was how much I improved throughout the day. It should pay off on a dry day. I got up to about 108-110 mph in the striaght. Could have gone faster if I waited to the last minute to brake, but there is no reason to risk it so I took about 2x as much stopping distance as I needed since it was wet. Believe it or not the faster car out there (besides the Spec Fords) was my buddys FWD Supercharged Honda Prelude. He was the only one who could accelerate in the rain. (we had about 12 C5 vettes and he was passing them). There was a M3 that was fast but he didn't tangle with him. Grattan is a great track, way better than Gingerman. I look forward to going back in July. Hopefully some guys from this board can come. |
