Upcoming Race Events

[metalman]

There are three events coming up at Road Atlanta worth mentioning....

The Petite LeMans, Oct 1-4
I think everyone knows what this race is. :)

SVRA - Season Finale Oct. 17-19
This is named for Sportscar Vintage Racing Association.
Vintage car racing is always fun at RA and in the past this
event has showcased some great cars. Well worth a look.

SCCA American Road Race of Champions Nov. 7-9
This is usually the biggest SCCA race of the year at RA.
Much action in the IT classes and Spec Miata, with plenty
of fender banging competition.

Either the SVRA or the ARRC...or both...are great events for an Mx5Atlanta outing.

we need to get a headcount for the Peit

[Grantri]

We'll be there for the November races (got to collect our trophy & prize $$ for the Pro IT Championship in ITS)

I'd love to make the Petite but aint happening . The vintage races are always a hoot , just might try and get there for that

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I hope to be there for Petit and the AARC sounds very appealing.

[iJohnnyC.]

I will be there for all!
I expect to get my Petit Ticket and Parking Pass in the mail any time now!
And, the ARRC is by far the best SCCA RA event to see.

Congrats to Matt on a great Pro IT season.

I'll be at both the ARRC and Petit. Getting to road atlanta on tuesday and will be there all week.

[Otto]

this is probably going to be the first petit i miss in like 5 years

[JennB]

We'll be at Petit for sure.

[Doppelgänger]

Hmmm... i want to make the ARRC..and some home with some spare slicks hehehehe

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'd love to go to one of these, especially the LeMans... but gotta see how it works out.

[Doppelgänger]

Have you ever been up there for Petit?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Unfortunately no. Wanna know a secret? I've never been to Road Atlanta for any event. :(

[JennB]

:jawdrop:


Come on.... you need to go... seriously...

[RotorNutFD3S]

Damn WebSense!!! lol
Guess I'll get motivated later at home... :)
I really do want to go, I've seen pics and videos before, just never really think about it when it's happening.

[Doppelgänger]

Unfortunately no. Wanna know a secret? I've never been to Road Atlanta for any event. :(


It's like nothing you've ever been to before, trust me. Even if you don't make Petit, try to make room for the ARRC event, it's cheaper and you can get free slicks.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Hmmm... I'll look into it then.

[matthew]

Road Atlanta. Whats that??

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I too... have never been to Road Atlanta.

[nderwater]

I've never been to Barber, but I hope to make it out there for an HPDE next spring.

I wish someone would build a smaller/private track somewhere in Ga... something like TGP....

[MeFryRice]

Me too. That would be nice.....

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

That would be perfect. But yeah matthew is playing dumb, fairly sure he lives on that track.

[metalman]

Turns out, it serves a dual purpose.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

[simontibbett]

I'll be at all events, including Petit ALLLLLLL week..not sure if that's good or bad? lol.

And will be on track at the ARRC for PDX. Bigtime showdown.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Gah I really need to sort out my damn SCCA membership, I spend enough on their events. And I've got to do one of these PDX events, even if it leaves me with messy underwear.
