    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!!!

    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.

    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.
