Most weekends for Gingerman are already booked. Not to mention all the time and effort for planning the event. IMO, there shouldn't be more than 1 WMHM. The appeal of WMHM over other track days is the camaraderie of the event. Other than that, you can get your track time with a number of other organizations.

I only see 1 S2000 paid for beginner spot this year and 6 S2000 instructors. Come on beginners - odds are you won't end up with an S2000 instructor with other organizations.

 

i agree with pat. wmhm should only be once a year. it's that one big event you look forward to every year.

Also since Mikey started Wangfest, there's more track events to go around.

 

I'm registered: Intermediate II. I assume I & II are the same and not skill level based (according to the site). Tried to get in I but it was wait list only. Going to II and I was able to pay immediately.

 

This Will be my first apearance. Been to gingerman a few times but not this event. sounds like this is going to be a blast! hope to meet a few of you!

Totally agree this event takes much planning. However Im thinking of the few people I know that wont be able to register. Just being considerate towards all. Last year I signed up (thanks to zspeed) the first day it went public and was on a waiting list. But yea maybe ill push the people who missed it to something like Wangfest. I hope you dont need a wing to register tho.. teehee


Also who said WMHM-2 has to be @ Gingerman???? LOL ill stop NAO!

 

Northstar Motorsports in Barrington. It was recommended to me by multiple people on this site and I now recommend it as well. They'll let you try on helmets until you find the one that fits you best. Garrison and I stopped by and I ended up buying one same day.

As for WMHM, I wasn't able to run, but I did attend the event anyway. I highly recommend that anyone who is even remotely interested in participating, attend even if they can't afford to run. Just being able to ride along with someone is a great deal of fun. I was lucky enough to ride with Pat, Cezar, and Austin, (it was interesting to see the different styles, including Cezar's "Turn the car off in turn 10" style )

As of now I'm 50/50. I have the money to register, but the car needs some to have some work done before I can even think about putting it on the track.

 

^ yeah that was a little scary. i thought my motor popped.

story: i hit my key chain with my knee as i was heel-toe downshifting through turn 10 which turned off the ignition lol. i did burn the crap out of my clutch though.

safety tip...take anything unnecessary off your keys in an HPDE or auto-x.

 

I forgot I had this...

Might go out there to spectate and see what its like, and it would be cool if I could get a ride around the track. Havent been to one yet.

 

do u have a helmet? there might be some extras floating around, but not guaranteed. any snell rated helmet is acceptable. No DOT helmets are allowed.
