I'll be at the Road Atlanta event again this year. I have a blast and instructing for this group is lots of fun.

Also there are a couple of other events they are working on that I'll be at as well.

I drove and Instructed with this group at Road America last October.
They put on a good event. I was pleasantly surprised at the caliber of drivers and how organized the event was. There are also several Instructors on hand for anyone who wants/needs some coaching. If you like driving on tracks, you should give MVP a try, I am glad I did.

I have run in at least one of Mark's events the last three years. He does a great job and you get a load of track time. Plan on making Road America for sure and maybe hopefully one of the Autobahn's. Price is very reasonable also.

I probably won't make Atlanta but will be going to Putnam, Road America and Autobahn. I have instructed for the SCCA (at Gateway and Road America) but not for MVP. In addition to the tracks above I have also participated at Heartland Park and Hallett. MVP does a good job running the events and seems to be controlling costs and I have heard there may be dates at VIR and/or Mid-Ohio later this year.

Glad to see this discusstion on MVP. This is a top notch organization. I ran his events last year and will run with him this year. His group makes you feel like family, and when you are out of town by yourself, this is important. From Mark to each of his instructors -- they are there to answer your questions and give any help on the track that you may need. By his pricing, I can tell you (in my opinion) he is doing everything he can to keep the cost down for participants. If you come and do one of MVP track days you will be back for more and you will see that a large amount of the drivers are return coustomers.

Free Bump for Mark and MVP! If anyone is interested in LOTS of track time, this is a group too run with. MVP trackdays are well organized and definitely worth the money! I have run with MVP on many occasions and always had a great time............

Thanks for all the kind words. I hope to see you all at the track. Happy Motoring!

What's Putman Park like?

Is there a favorite hotel nearby?

miss peel

Putman Park is the perfect place to take you're car on a road course for the first time. 10 turns, with a stright-a-way of about 120mph, depending on what type of car you're driving. One of the best features is if you go off track you just mow grass with you're car with the exception of turn 10 which leads out onto the straight-a-way. P.P. is a lot of fun to drive. StKnoWhere, I see you're from the St. Louis area and they will be about 10 guys from the same area, that I know of. MVP is a very friendly group; come on out and play ---- you'll have a great time.

Great little track that is pretty safe, lots of run-off.

Can see ~125-135mph in a stock C6.

Here's a clip (not me):

Hope to see you out there this summer! I'll be there. Look at 10/10ths Motorsports, Bill runs a lot of events there each year.

It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, just a few local hotels.

Hope this helps.

StKnoWhere

Thank's, haven't been on track for 18 mo (relocated from NC, sold a MX5 and just bought a C6) so this is what I'm looking for to get back into the swing of things, get a feel for the car and have some fun.

Thanks for the video -- 10 turn skid pad connected by a 2,000 ft straight, just what the doctor ordered

Although it's a ways away I'm up for Road Atlanta and looking fwd to it. Glad to hear so many positive responses about this organization.

miss peel

If you come to Putnam Park come over and say Hi. Miss Peel will be sitting with the Vipers and a couple of Vettes. Just ask for the owner of Miss Peel.

Looking forward to the June Autobahn and possibly Road America. I haven't been on the track for about 2 years, so I'm hoping for good weather!

miss peel

Come over and say Hi. Miss Peel will be next to a Viper ACR-X. We will be in a group of five Vipers and two Z06's.

I basically go to both autobahn events every year since I bought my Z.

Worth every penny. Great events and the instructors are great. If I didn't spend all my time shooting, I would hit all the MVP events.

StKnoWhere

What's the drive time to Putman from StL?

miss peel

From St. Charles you are looking at about 3 1/2 hours if you tow.

StKnoWhere

Thanks!

I can't do the weekend but might drive over one day.
