Road Atlanta, yep the BIG DOG - Private Track Day - mid-May??

Been a little while since the last track outing, but am currently exploring a day at Road Atlanta (would be on a Monday), looking at mid-May.

Need a little over 3 dozen to make this viable, due to the significant cost of renting this track. Cost would be around $500pp. We would have the track for the WHOLE DAY and you'd get as much track time as you could stand.

Any interest??

Thanks for the interest.

We'll see how the event fills up. At this time, we're not seeking any others than AMG and other Mercedes-Benz.

That's a big boy track. I went to the ALMS Le Petit LeMans last year and really got a good look at the circuit. Wish I was closer.....

Not enough interest....

Sad news to report my friends. It looks like our ambitious goals of securing Road Atlanta, as a private event, will be placed on the back burner for now. Thank you for the interest! Another consideration being examined is to move the event later in the year (fall), possibly with some support events over a weekend in the Atlanta area - with more lead time - we may be able to secure the track with a commitment of greater than 40.

Wait wait wait.... I'm always late to the party.... what's stopping us? We need more cars? I can probably get 10 more cars just by posting at work.

Can put me down for two myself.

dan30252: C63 + LP560-4 (Atlanta)

Let me know how many we need if that is the issue and I can make some phone calls.

Cars and $$$. $500 per person. Not sure how many more we need. But its more than two so start making the phone calls. I think its AMG vehicles only.

I can get probably a bunch of cars, but if its AMG only then its going to be a no go. I know a bunch of GTR, M3, M5, F430, and Gallardo guys around here that would go to RA in a second.

I'll send out an email tomorrow, but first I need to know if AMG only is written in stone or not. For RA though, it may be worth the time on track since its so hard to get and look the other way on the AMG only rule.

$500 a car isn't out of the question for RA.

Gents, the train has already left the station on this event.

We are exploring some additional options for a possible Fall date, at Road ATL.

Chin has taken the May 17th slot we were eyeballing - I know a lot of folks have expressed taking advantage of that.
