If you have not been to Grattan and/or plan to attend the WKA National event there in May we will be holding an open test Saturday, April 14th.
The cost is $150 per driver.
It includes:
EMS and Marshalls
Tow rig service
Track from 9am-5pm
Lunch!
Garages
Race Fuel will be available at the track.
All the garages have air lines and power.
You can arrive as early as 6pm Friday the 13th (egads be careful!)
No charge for camping overnight, please advise me if you plan to come Friday. (a group of us will be there)
No pit pass charge but you will have to sign the Grattan Raceway waiver.
*Please Note:
If inclement weather (the R word) forces a cancelation (before we get started) WE WILL RESCHEDULE for another date. You won't just be out the cash, NOBODY offers you that!
I have already paid the deposit, the deadline for entry is March 1st.

Todd,
They give us a remote for the gates, from the upper paddock we'll see anyone entering the facility.
I'll leave the front gate open all night. If you arrive before were all passed out someone will buzz you in at the paddock gate.
Will you be there before 11pm?

Not sure when we'll get there. It's 5+ hours from Cleveland and I'll need to stop and pick up my dogs after work.
I'm hoping it won't be after 11pm and you're all passed out... |

Todd,
We'll work something out.
I know you never have much luck getting through to my cell so I'll give you a few others to try on your way West as a heads up/ETA.
11pm is a rough estimate, I usually hear JW pullin in at 3am but 12am is about all I got these days!

Look forward to meeting you and putting a face to a name!

No problem guys glad you can make it!
Eric,
Got your check, tell your Parents they are more than welcome for lunch too!!! Nice folks, they had a good time and told me how much they enjoyed watching me spin! 
JMD,
What type of SK do you have? Single, Twin???? I remember my first ride in a RS 250 SK, it was at Grattan as well. The Wife thought I was retarted.....I kept shaking my head saying "Oh man, oooh man!". The brakes were just amazing and the power......Oh man, the power!!!! Going back to my F-125 right after was a mistake, it didn't get out of it's own smoke compared to that SK. Awesome ride. (Thanks Frankie!!)
I'm sure you will enjoy whatever it is you purchased, hard not to at Grattan!

Guys,
I've gotten a few notes about the test day. You can also contact me here: f-125@hotmail.com
Yes, I will have a beacon so you can store data.
No, I won't trade you lunch for beer instead!
No, I won't be selling "beats" in MY kart!
No, I can't allow 10 guys to pay $15 ea!
And last but not least,
No, you can't pay me in beer. I can't give you change in beer. And my favorite....No, I don't have a use for a $150 per day/8 year old umbrella girl!!!!!
Call it cabin fever or whatever, it seems some guys are already having fun!
