I'm going to Putnam for the first time on a track day. I'm kinda new, Anyone got any onboard videos or suggestions/help getting around this place Thanks a bunch "D"
I'll be up there with some friends this weekend. What bike should I look for. I might be able to help a little bit cause it is my home track. My name is Jimmy and i'm not sure yet if I will be riding.

watch t7, tight right-hander. lotsa guys go moto there. the exit of t8, uphill left, can high-side ya. pay attention to your tires after each session. i suffered severe cold-tearing on michelins(rear) that i hadn't suffered anywhere else. if you get cold-tears, try a little less compression. read this... http://www.putnampark.com/motopersp.htm
http://www.armyofdarkness.com/videos/videos.html There are two putnam vids: mot0world coverage and me filming Sam. Keep in mind this is from 98 (damn, I'm old). I'm slow now but I was even slower then and I'm an even worse cameraman/mpg encoder. View it at 50 or 100% zoom and it won't be too painful to watch. Jim
TURN 4 The first left hander on your first "FLYING" lap. You just went through a succession of 5 right handers and you are feeling comfy. Then this fast sweeping left comes up and spits you into the bushes. Definitely Turn 7 "THE BUSSTOP" Oh and finally. BE VERY CAREFUL in turn 10. It is the ONLY logistically dangerous part of the track!!!! The wall at the exit comes up very quickly! Other than that a beautiful SMOOTH track with great spectating for your S.O. Oh and start packing your sh@t up early cause they will kick you out with your stuff still inside.
There used to be a really tall guy will a camera standing in Dead Bear, wonder what ever happened to him?
Be careful of the bus stop, that's were the track end and begins. Turn 10 is fun but don't go down there or you will find yourself in the wall
