Gingerman Raceway

GingerMan Raceway is a private road-racing course situated on a 350-acre site. The original track is 1.88 miles long with the corner extension the track is now 2.14 miles, twisting left and right and up and down on the naturally rolling landscape. It simulates a country road, but without the risks to pedestrians and oncoming traffic and eliminates other hazards such as ditches, phone poles, trees and other objects. This relatively new facility was built on vacant farmland, which contained aged and past-their-prime apple and cherry orchards. The track layout was developed by Alan Wilson of Motorsports Development, Denver, Colorado, to take advantage of the natural terrain. Track grading and paving was done by Klett Construction Company, a local firm, using special polymerized asphalt material formulated to stand up to the stresses of racing and Michigan winters.

Gingerman Raceway

After a strong performance at the ROCK....The Karting Zone is ready to take on the picturesque layout of Gingerman Raceway in south west Michigan. The Championship Enduro Series wraps up their season at Gingerman, and I am looking forward to a large shifter class. I am signed up to race the CIK125 shifter class both Saturday and Sunday this weekend; September 15th and 16th.

It's been several years since we have taken on the Gingerman track, but I am ready for the challenge.
