    Me too. I think it is the most smooth track in the midwest.

    I <3 Putnam!!!

    But i'll be at BHF...

    Have fun and say hi to Putnam from me!!

    and i hope they don't repave it. It's fine the way it is.
    Maybe instead they could do something about the guardrail in the last turn?

    What do they need to repave? The track is fine. The pits on the ends of the curb could use some work but otherwise it's good to go!

    Putnam should take after Grattan, CW one day CCW the next. We wouldn't have to flip our tires then. I bet CCW would be a blast and maybe safer.

    I think turn 10 CCW would be a bit scary with not much run off after it. The rest would be OK I think.

    turn 1 in that case would be SKETCHY!!!! :eek: though dead bear backwards would be fun as hell, turn 4 would be a bit sketchy as you may start dragging pegs.. speaking of which NK, are you gonna be down there :D

    Why, that's a lot of money to spend on a track that's in good shape still.

    Maybe they could redirect the new pavement to a track up in NE Ohio!!!

    Let's hope for sub 100 degree weather in a couple weeks. See ya there.

    Probably be nearly double the April temps. I think I like 50 better than 100. I am going to be rusty at Putnam. It will be weird to ride a track that is smooth after my recent trips to Nelson.
