About this event
Greetings all!
Thank you for your interest in our March 26-27th "Test Day" at Putnam Park. We hope you'll join us to shake down your cars and get them dialed in for the 2022 season! This is a private lapping day for experienced drivers only; no novices for this event please. The event will feature three run groups alternating 20 minute sessions. Putnam Park is a relatively short track allowing upwards of 15 laps to be completed in a 20 minute session. By employing three run groups we can better pair cars/drivers of similar pace to ensure maximum clean laps for all drivers!
