Welcome Back to The Club at Putnam Park.

Thirty minutes west of Indianapolis sits on of the most exceptional automotive facilities in the Midwest. Now you have a reason to go check it out.

If you have not heard of The Club at Putnam Park, that is about to change. And if you have heard of it but never made the trip, now is a good time to fix that.

Thirty minutes or so west of Indianapolis, tucked into the Putnam County landscape, sits one of the most thoughtfully built private automotive club facilities anywhere in the Midwest. The Club is built around the Putnam Park Road Course, a 1.8-mile, 10-turn circuit with the kind of layout that rewards real driving. But the track is only part of the story.

The Clubhouse is something to see. Leather furniture, a billiards room, professional-grade racing simulators, locker rooms, and a well-stocked bar that earns its place in the day. The garages are first-class, included with membership and available on a first-come, first-served basis for Club days. The membership itself is capped at 150, which is the point. The Club is designed to feel like exactly what it is: an exclusive gathering of like-minded enthusiasts who take their driving seriously and appreciate the environment that surrounds it.

What sets The Club apart is the access. On a typical Club day, a member can have the track largely to themselves. Some days, entirely. The frequency of available track days, the focused car count, and the flexibility in scheduling create something genuinely rare in this region.

On-track improvements continue, and off-track plans are in motion. This is a good time to have a conversation about membership before those conversations get harder to have.

Chris Diasio and the team are building something worth being part of. We are glad to call them a partner, and even gladder that SHIFT participants will get a firsthand look on May 2.
