August went down nice and smooth with all of our stellar HPDE events--Mohawk, GPS Track Time, RevMatch. All of the beautiful cars of the Chicago Porsche Club came out for a lovely late summer weekend. We had a new group of people and some familiar faces with CGI Motorsports, a great group with excellent instruction in road racing. Despite the rain the novices were not deterred during Sportbike Track Time's (Sportbike Track Time ) second successful weekend of the season.
A big shout out to the Chicago Porsche Club ()
who have been coming to the GingerMan since the 90s! Thank you for being a part of our history.
Coming up this month we are hosting our classic Lemons event from September 4th to the 6th. Lemons has been coming here since 2010 and has always been one of our most unique, fun and...egalitarian events. A big thank you to Lemons () and their event organizer Kim Harmon who has always been a treat to work with.
It's always exciting and vital to work and interact with new groups, new people--to experience different vibes, different worlds. On September 18 - 20 we have a brand spanking new go-kart group from Ohio called the Dart Kart Club. With over 150 karts the weekend will have real racing and should be a blast for spectators!
Also, in this jam-packed month we have a couple of great HPDE events--Summer Track Days and Trackilicious. Both affordable and chill ways to either get track time or to be introduced to the sport. Of course, CGI Motorsports will be back again! And, for good measure we have a SCCA TNiA and a Sportbike Track Time Bike Night event.
Summer may be ending but our season is not!
