Trying to rent Gingerman Raceway

Dave Harmison · July 29th, 2010, 9:40 AM

I have been leaving messages at Gingerman Raceway since Monday and no one is calling back.

I have tried their main number, 269-253-4445 and their track manager, 269-214-2843 and I have sent them an e-mail through their website.

Anyone have a contact?

Dave, here is a Gingerman cell number 269-906-5133.

Thanks ... Jay

Dave, and all in the area,if you need the track for ff or CF testing use the evening test and tunes. The track is available to open wheel cars Tuesday and Thursday evenings for $60. Camping is $10. We used to be able to run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings but we were bumped from the Wednesday schedule by motorcycles. I have discussed giving us consecutive days next year as having a "down" day makes the testing program a bit less attractive. Gingerman is a great venue for testing at a decent price in the evenings and I hope that if more formula cars use it we can be accomodated. I think Crissy and Shane have the test and tune program at the track. If Michael has a different phone number for Gingerman contact I will have him post it. Chuck

Thanks all, I heard back yesterday afternoon.

I'm sorry this test isn't for me. I have recently moved jobs at Ford. I am now a Veh Dyn development engineer for SVT. Getting paid to hustle 500+ HP Shelby Mustangs around the track is tough, but somebody has to do it.

Nice gig Dave,

Don't you need some time off, I'd be glad to fill your seat, and even forward the paycheck when you need an extra week off !

Why don't you post some pics, anyway. They're not still making you crash or roll stuff, are they?

I'm glad you got everything squared away, the office manager must've had a hard time getting back with you promptly, i apologize for the inconvenience.

I drove that mustang here at Gman a few months ago before it was unveiled at VIR, the new shelby right? it is a nice handling car, good job dialing that thing in. It didnt feel like much of a hustle, you guys did an amazing job with the rear axle platform. btw is there plans to go independent suspension and sequential dual clutch transmission in this century cheers
