Default Re: Road Racing Open Track Days in Georgia

Ted, that sounds like a plan. The more of us there, the more fun.

I'm torn about which track would be the best. Road Atlanta is awesome for all the obvious reasons. It's fast and famous. I always enjoy watching pro races on TV (like Petit Lemans) at tracks I've run.

Atlanta Motorsports Park is a really fun, tight, yet fast track. I haven't taken a "big" car there yet, but I think the Corvette will be a blast. Our torquey engines will like powering out of the tight corners, and there is a very long sweeping corner leading onto the front straight that will be pretty high speed in our cars (130 mph?). Of course, that means the brakes need to be in good shape for this track. AMP is relatively safe, but we'll need to respect that final corner and the brake zone at the end of the front straight.

Roebling Road is great, too. It is fast and has a lot of runoff areas. It's also near Savannah, which is a big plus for night and next day activities. The only downside for me is it is much more than the one hour tow compared to the other two tracks. Yes, I realize I'm spoiled living so close to several great tracks.

I have a couple of short vides of AMP here (in small cars): https://vimeo.com/russmcb/videos
