From the look of things, the best options are Carrollton or Florence. Carrollton would be slightly less driving for people traveling from the South, or Indiana, and Florence slightly less driving for those coming from the North.
Florence has lots more options for hotels and food, which may be a factor if anyone is interested in having dinner together on Friday and Saturday nights…
So how about taking a look at the maps, checking some rates and tossing in some ideas, then we’ll see if we can work out a good compromise… :allears:

I will know for sure when I get A2A schedule on what day open I have but for me Yes and yes on both. Wera North Central is racing there on June 12-14 so I want to go there for sure couple times before that
It's only 3 hours or so for my house and I am stoked on trying a new track...

I do have a track bike to retrieve from that neck of the woods. I'll have to play it by ear due to availability of funds but I may be a shoe-in for one of the days. If anything maybe I can come hang in the pits.
May 30 - I guess that means Desmo /Putnam is gone, huh?
I'll try for the May date at least, which means I'll have to sell my soul and join up - which means we HAVE to go to Mid-Ohio to take the bile out of that decision.
Put me down as possible/tentative for the May weekend...

Still no confirmation, but that seems to be the case...
According to Hoyle, the Desmo date would be May 24th, but on the Putnam schedule, that slot is taken by Commonwealth Motorcycles out of Louisville.... Commonwealth Motorcycles || Events (their package deal of all 4 dates for $140 each looks like a bargain for Putnam freaks...
*Btw, Curvechasers has the track on Saturday, the 23rd, like normal...so that's also an option...

For sure, I've really enjoyed their events over the years...
I've heard that the Curvechasers events are good too...maybe MotoPilot can chime in here...
Curve chasers is a good group, I have run with them over the past few years. Alan who races in WERA is a good guy and knows his shit, but is approachable for questions and suggestions as well.
Cycle options is great, alot like DESMO. Actually Kenny sat by us at the GP event. I talked with him there and he may try and go to Grattan if he can get away.

I will do whatever, but at a new track I know myself, I will be learning the track for the better part of the first day and start to put some speed on towards the end of the day. Then i would be pissed for leaving when there was still riding going on an wonder what I could have done "If" i stayed. Plus I do not normally ride with STT, so the membership fee thing is a PITA for me just for one day.

I am putting together the years master plan now that the Sheephaters have put the schedule out. Right now it is penciled in though the weekend before is WERA at Baa-rber
If everything tastes like chicken..... what does chicken taste like
MCADX needs more riders in the Rocky Mountain West. Just BWhip and I ...
As soon as I'm out of school I'll be right back there. I'm tired of the mid-west.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
Doubt it but then I never tried. They used to run the Rogue days but then that went side ways (more due to Rogue than STT in my opinion)
But it is cool being at any event and having a mini org turnout (nothing to compare to Grattan though)
Well I plan on being there for sure for the May date. Probably be a month before I sign up, but I'd like to call STT and maybe ask about a group discount because there will be several of us. Worth a shot maybe.
