Never been to putnam before sunday.
GREAT TRACK. FAST FAST FAST and flowing. I was driving into, and taking turn one at 90mph.
It would be a GREAT track for a 250 if you dont mind being dusted down the straight. (I was hitting 150 + mph) If there was an S turn in the middle of the straight the 250 would rule that track. So dont be shy about running a 250 there you wont be in the way after the straight.

Now 4 days worth of hauling fuel and its back to the track (Grattan) for a whole weekend of riding.

ANYONE COMING TO GRATTAN THIS WEEKEND??

I don't see anything listed on Grattans website showing a trackday on the 31st/1st. What's going on? I want to try and get a few track days in before the end of the year but I'm waiting for some parts for the track bike. They should be here within the next week so I should be up and ready by then. Now all I need is to figure out how to get the bike there!

You might wana take a few trackdays and the pro-school that STT offers before you go racing. Youll get your racing licence after you graduate the pro school. Then your set.

Absolutely! I don't want to be a danger to myself or others. Couple track days this year and early days next year plus at least one racing school before I try any races.
