    This event is now sold out.



    :getdown: :wheel: :woot: :bounce: :getdown:

    PLEASE NOTE OUR ON TRACK SCHEDULE:

    Saturday: 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm (ie: normal)

    Sunday: 9am-10am, 12pm-6pm (ie: not normal)

    This is to accommodate quiet time on Sunday - and also make sure you, our customer - get maximum track time.

    There is a MANDATORY rider's meeting BOTH days at 8:20am. If you are not at this meeting... we will pull your sticker and you will not ride. Even if you want to skip the first session on Sunday and wait until noon to ride, you MUST be at the rider's meeting at 8:20am. After that you can go nap or whatever.....

    Tech and Registration open 7am Saturday and Sunday morning, and close at 8:20am for the rider's meeting. They will re-open after the rider's meeting. Road Atlanta is in the EASTERN time zone.

    If you are riding both days, you only need to register and tech once - on Saturday.

    Novice riders and JDSA riders:

    We will have an area of the paddock coned off for you, close to the footbridge across the front straight, as you will be going to the classrooms which are located in the outer paddock.

    Saturday night we'll have MotoGP qualifying on the big screen!

    Gates will open at approx 6pm on Friday and are 24/7 through the weekend after that. Just go to the gate guard to pay and get your band.

    We ride R*** or shine, come prepared.

    There is a $5.00 gate fee per day for anyone entering 16 years of age or older at all Sportbike Track Time events. BRING SOME CASH WITH YOU.

    Camping is allowed and free.

    I am pleased to announce that the concessions at the track will be open from 10am to 2pm both days!!!! They are located in the "old" paddock area.... so if you need food, take a walk on over there.

    We are using the "new" turn twelve and the chicane at turn two-three.

    We are using the "new" (inside) pit area.

    There is very little 30 or 50 amp power in Road Atlanta's pits. If you have a generator, bring it.

    Tire service will be open from 6-9pm Friday, all day Saturday, 7am-3pm Sunday.

    We bring over 100 tires to each event at killer prices, if you need tires, wait till you get there.

    We also have t-shirts, back protectors and gloves with us at great prices.

    Gas is available at the track, its race gas and pricey, there is a jiffy mart thingy about 2 miles from the track.

    Showers are available.

    Pets are allowed but MUST be on a leash at all times. Please "clean up" after your pets.

    Any questions?, post up here please.

    Also curious about this as a STT noob. I'll be in the novice group, but with N2 in July, there was no designated area for novice that I was aware of.

    STT cones off this area for the Novice and JDSA folks to pit in so that they are closer to the bridge....i.e. you don't have to walk as far after every session from your paddock to get to the classroom. Who knows what N2 does!!

    Yea.... we try to set aside that area just so folks don't have as far to walk to the class..... since you have to take the foot bridge over to the classroom.

    You don't have to pit around there... generally I reserve space for Speed Academy, staff.. and then novice and Speed Academy students.....

    This is my first STT event, so I can't speak to the level of knuckleheadedness of the staff, so I'm just referring to the novice knuckleheads lol
