The Winning Formula Warm-Up

Putnam Park Road Course

About this event

Greetings all!  

We hope you'll consider joining us for our Spring event to knock the Winter rust off and warm up for an awesome 2026 motorsport season!  As with all Winning Formula events, this will be limited to experienced drivers (no novices, please) and capped at 60 total participants to create the best possible atmosphere for abundant clean laps.  Lunch will be provided both days, consisting of box lunches catered by local restaurant "Almost Home" - I typically do Club sandwiches or Chicken Salad sandwiches along with fruit cup, cookie and drink.  Let me know if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences as most can be accommodated.  

This event is NOT listed publicly on MotorsportReg.  It is only accessible with the direct link.  If you'd like to share the event with a friend, please send them this shortcut: msreg.com/WFWarm-Up

Event fee: 

  • $595 for the weekend (with lunch provided for drivers on both days).

Garage rental:

  • Garage spaces are available for $150/weekend.  

Run groups: 

  • Advanced 1 - "Sub-1:14": Vehicles (and their drivers) running lap times <1:14.   
  • Advanced 2 - "Big Bore": Advanced level drivers running lap times <1:19 and >1:13. 
  • Advanced 3 - "Small Bore": Advanced level drivers running lap times >1:19 

A note on run-group assignment: These lap time suggestions aren't intended to be hard lines, but rather approximations of pace to create more homogeneous run groups.  No one need take them too seriously!  If you are unsure of your lap time, use your best judgment or contact me for assistance.

 

Passing etiquette: 

  • All run groups will allow passing anywhere on the track WITH a point-by.  Driver's are expected to be alert to their surroundings and, to the best of their ability, anticipate the closing rate of other participants and plan their point-by so as to minimize the impediment to both drivers.   

Food and drink:

  • Lunch will be provided for all drivers on both days.  If you require additional lunch(s) for guests, please select the number required during registration (cost per additional lunch $20/per day).  Coolers in Garage #1 will be stocked with drinks for use by all drivers and their guests.  

Lodging: 

  • For those in need of sleeping accommodations, the Inn at Depauw is a nice option near the track in Greencastle.  The downtown area of Greencastle has a few nice, small-town restaurants.  For more lodging options, Plainfield is about 30 minutes away from the track with abundant lodging and dining options.  The Embassy Suites in Plainfield is among the newer, nicer hotels in the area: 
  • Inn at Depauw (Greencastle; 14 minutes from the track): The Inn at DePauw - Our Hotel In Greencastle Indiana
  • Embassy Suites (Plainfield; 30 minutes from the track): Embassy Suites by Hilton Plainfield Indianapolis Airport

Driver requirements:

  • Snell SA2015 helmet or newer. 
  • Long pants, long sleeves and closed toe shoes.

Vehicle requirements: 

  • Please inspect your vehicle thoroughly before the event; mechanical issues happen, but lets try to reduce them and maximize our on-track time! 
  • If you have any questions regarding vehicle preparation please don't hesitate to contact us!
