Road Atlanta - Aug. 16-17 - Roll Call

:cheer:

Said "friend" here. I am in as well. can't wait. It will be my FIRST track day.

bike is almost ready. just need to safety wire my oil plug.

 

Weeeeee.

I'm so pumped!

 

Hells yea :rawk:

 

So help me understand...all y'all old timers and staffers are all jacked up too?
It's not just me because its my 1st time?

 

I get all excited and hyper before every track weekend. :wheel:

 

Nope. Still have nervous energy and excitement every time I show up at a track. Love it.

I'm in. First timer. Fresh from supercross.

 

:amen:

That feeling NEVER goes away. It doesnt matter how many times you hae been to the track.

Just be prepared, because after your first one, you life will revolve around "next time".

"Im going to work on my cardio so i will be in better shape next time..."
"Im going to order some SS brake lines and new pads for next time..."
"Im going to watch YouTube videos and learn lines for next time..."
"Im going to repaint my bodywork for next time..."
"Im going to concentrate on doing more leg work and bicycle riding for next time..."
"Im going to start eating right to be slimmer for next time..."

It is an obsession. Seriously. There is a reason why people say it is more addictive than crack. And like t said, the nervous energy never goes away. I got to thinking about it last night and couldnt go to sleep and it is still 10 days away.

 

Just get there when you can. RA is different from Barber in that you get your wristband from the same dude, working at the gate. And the gates are open all the time.

There isnt a different booth you have to go up to, which has operational hours. Just drive up to the gate and you will pay/sign-in right there.

 

Im pumped before I go to the track everytime! Im super duper pumped for this one since I havent ridden on Road Atlanta before! I spent many weekends with my brother when he was racing his SCCA stockcar there but that was on the old configuration before they changed the track. I cant wait!!!

 

So wait...even though we've paid $245 for the track day we have to buy a bracelet at the gate??

 

yup. It should only be like 5 bucks though.

 

ok ...what are any other fees I need to be prepared for. POwer?

 

Always bring some cash. There's always something, gate fee, camping fee, etc

 

Sunday Intermediate is sold out - only a few spots left in Saturday Intermediate.

Saturday Novice and Advance have a handful of spots left... as do Sunday.

Looks like this event will sell out. Looking forward to an awesome time.

AWESOME!
I did jennings in June and had to work all day. Got there at midnight and had to sleep at the gate lol

Didn't want to do that again

 

Well darn...there goes my I bump...sheesh...lol. Trevor, if we get bumped at Rd Atl but have already signed up for N in september, can we upgrade if there are spots left in I?

 

I'd like to point out that this is the last track day of the season at RA for any of the notable motorcycle track day groups.

 

I'm pretty sure Trevor always leaves room for bumps to I.

 

That is correct.
