The NEW Putnam Park

[Hoosier]

Was gonna check on the schedule and look what is going on ...

The Club is a country-club style lapping day member-only group that offers exclusive lapping events at the facility, limited membership, access to member-only clubhouse, private showers and bathrooms, and the opportunity to lease garages for storage and maintenance of your vehicles. Putnam Park will be starting shortly construction on 20 concrete garage bays (18’ X 20’) that Club members will be free to use during Club Lapping Days. In order to guarantee use of a bay for all Club Days (not weekend group or other non-Club days), an Annual Garage Bay Reservation is available. The remaining unreserved bays will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Club will offer 100 days of member-only lapping each year, beginning in March and running throughout the season. Initial Charter membership is set at 40, with an expansion plan in place that allows for additional lapping days with increased membership. Members must be at least 21 years old and have completed a minimum of five events.
The days will be held from 9:00 a.m. To 5:00 p.m. with a 30-minute safety worker break at lunchtime. There will be 3 run groups: track-prepared cars, race-prepared cars, and formula/sports racers. Passing will be allowed in all areas, and therefore only the most experienced drivers will be accepted.
There is an initial membership fee as well as a flat annual fee for each membership type. There are three memberships available: Founding, Individual, and Corporate.
Applications are being accepted now, with the first 20 Individual Membership Applications receiving the discounted membership of $5,000.00. Once 40 applications are received, The Club will open, and construction of the clubhouse, showers and bathrooms will commence immediately. After memberships are received, new members will receive invitations to build private garages that may be leased for either long or short term.

Looks like not only the track will be updated. I hope the track rental doesn't go up. ....either way, we are still looking at changing venues as an option.

Interesting I guess... Not membership for bikes... boo.

Sounds like it's going to become a more private country club type setting geared towards "race cars"... Doesn't sound like there will be many "free" days left after they're done???

Putnam motorcycle track days may be a thing of the past???

Putnam will continue catering to car clubs and track day groups which are the primary income sources for the track. “The Club” is a scheme to generate income for the track on days it is otherwise idle.

Don’t expect Putnam to change much.

It would be worth a little more if everything is cleaned up around there. Especially the track itself......

I've always thought it was a little expensive for what you got anyway. They should have charged at least a G less before the changes. I'm still pretty excited for new things though.

Just noticed they've updated their web site.

Looks a lot nicer now. IMO.

I've got an inside source at the track, and the track and the facilities are going to get an upgrade. From what I hear...garages will also be available for rent on track days.
