Never been there but heard that it wasn't too exciting. True? How far from Chicago?

View Full Version : Anyone going to Putnam in May? laissezfaire 04-09-2003, 07:01 PM Never been there but heard that it wasn't too exciting. True? How far from Chicago?

The track surface is in very good condition, a LOT better than Blackhawk, but that's not really saying much. It's most similar to Gingerman, of all the tracks in the midwest. It's got great run-off room. Some interesting camber in the turns. Visibility is excellent- nearly the entire track can be seen from the pit tower. Their site is www.putnampark.com Applications so far have been (ahem) scant, so I suspect there will be a reduced number of run groups, i.e. a LOT of track time. The hotel rooms are reserved for another two weeks, so now would be a good time to sign up. For further info, see our website. Applications are being handled by the national office of the club, but are available on the indyaudi.com website. >How far from Chicago? About 150 miles, give or take. The track is just west of Indy. See the the welcome packet on the site for directions to the hotel and track. Briefly: take I-65 to Lafayette, then shortcut south via US-231 south through Greencastle.
