SCCA road race/ trackday at Road Atlanta

[matthewAPM]

Febuary 23-24 there will be a SCCA SARRC/Kumho tires 5hr. enduro/ PDX at Road Atlanta. The trackday will be Sunday morning (24th). The entry fee for the Performance Driving eXperience is $100 for people who are NOT working and $20 for works on the weekend (must be registered). If you dont have a SCCA lisence, please go to SCCA.com and sign up (only $75 ($45 under24yrs) and comes with mag subscription, and $10 off all autocrosses).

There are 3 different groups A, B, and C group. A being first timers and C being advanced. If your first time, a road race instructor (me if you ask) will be in the car for instructing to learn the track and basics on racing. Each driver will get 2 20-25 minute sessions on the track.

The only thing needed is a car that passes tech (same as a autox tech) and a DOT approved helmet. This is not a timed event, just for fun and learning.

PLEASE READ THE EVENT INFO AND RULES!

Registration for this event can be found at (Atl PDX on 24th) DLBracing (http://www.dlbracing.com/default.aspx?view=1)
PM me to get temporary membership number (you will buy at track for $15)

here are a few pictures from the last event...

PM me if you have any questions. hope to see you out on the track!

[00CelicaGT]

do u have to be a SCCA registered member? if u are working that means wat cuz i dont want to pay a $100 if i dont have to.

[Oz10]

Damn that sounds like fun. I'd love to do it. Matt you wouldn't happen to have an extra set of race tires and wheels that would fit my subaru would you? :D

[IndianStig]

how can i pay the $20 fee matt?


if not, 100$...i have no licenses but my DMV one, will get me in right?

[Oz10]

I think the $20 is if you volunteer to work during the racing on Saturday. If you do that you can drive on Sunday for $20. Correct me if I am wrong Matt.

[00CelicaGT]

so is it $100 to race on both days?

[Oz10]

I'm not sure how this event is. But the race I went to with Matt had an SCCA race on Saturday (that you wouldn't drive in). I think Matt said its a 5hr endurance race. Then Sunday they had a PDX that is for all the people that just want to drive on the track for practice.

[00CelicaGT]

ok i think im starting to understand thanx reps+

[santacruz77]

ill be there prolly not on track tho unless i get my car to pass tech which i prolly wont.

[Elbow]

I'll be there on track. (registered)

[Roadster]

I'll probably have to get in on this one too. The Miata could use some more abuse.

[matthewAPM]

wow. im glad to hear such a response.

ok. it was my fault for not making this clear. the event is sunday morning ONLY. the other races are ones you can come and watch/work at.

you dont HAVE to be an SCCA member because you can get ur temporary lisence BUT, to work you must have it. (and to run any other event u do) ALSO, if u have ur SCCA lisence ($60 on SCCA.com) u get a free subscription to SportsCar mag, $10 off all SCCA autox's and can work a SCCA weekend and run the event for $20!

If you are working the SCCA weekend, you MUST work both days and register before hand. if you are going to work, READ THE SUPPS about works job. that is veryyyy important. and when you look at it, $100 isnt that bad, you could run with another organization and pay 3-4 times as much.

if u have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

[Elbow]

This is def. a LOT better ran then other organizations as well I personally think. Very organized, no confusion, great track time, no slow pace car laps or anything.

[santacruz77]

i want to be on track!but idk idk idk............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................................... i wonder what all i need to work on befor i pass tech

very true. i will not say what other organizations i have run with, but there is no other organization in the U.S. that does it better than the SCCA IMO.

[santacruz77]

agreed.

[Elbow]

^Yep! (Yep to my pic of the grid from the ARRC PDX) ;)

[santacruz77]

does anyone know how loud to loud is?

[matthewAPM]

does anyone know how loud to loud is?

yes, must be a street legal exhaust. mine is LOUD!!!! put i run. but if u can please use a somewhat quiet exhaust. 89dB at most.

[Elbow]

BTW it has to be quiet because this is ran at quiet time on Sunday.

[atlantamx3]

Did anyone get any pics fo the black MX-3 at the last PDX in November?? Or any of the Mx-3s?

Thanks for using my pics to advertise for this fun event, Matt!

haha, dude u took some really good pictures so i had to use them. im guessing u will be there?

[EJ25RUN]

this sounds too good to be true....


count me in! :goodjob:

[matthewAPM]

Remember guys, u must register on DLB before the event or NO RUNNING!

[Elbow]

Even though it's not required like Matt said, SCCA membership FTW....get a awesome magazine subscription, discounts on events, and more.

[santacruz77]

hmmm i have a 2.5 inch pipe all the way out with a cherry bomb.

im gonna put a monza tip on it would this be quite enough or not

[Elbow]

Not sure, throw another muffler on for the event lol

[matthewAPM]

Even though it's not required like Matt said, SCCA membership FTW....get a awesome magazine subscription, discounts on events, and more.

VERY VERY true. and discounts other events, etc. It is worth the $60 dollars. and i havent read the rules for this season, but they might not give a SCCA membership out at the track...better to be safe then sorry


hmmm i have a 2.5 inch pipe all the way out with a cherry bomb.

im gonna put a monza tip on it would this be quite enough or not

i would put it on. like i said, better to be safe then sorry

[santacruz77]

ill just make me exaust a solid cat all the way back lol

[atlantamx3]

I am going to try to work the weekend... but I will probably be short on $$ since autocross season is stating up.

Most of the MX-3 guys are going to shoot for later in the season to do some PDXs... when its warmed up a bit!

[OnURleft]

Matt if you buy me my slicks i'd be glad to pown you at this event.

[slow_hatch]

I've been meaning to get the civic to a road course for some time now. If I sell my dirtbike and get a few more items for the civic i'll try to make this :goodjob: BTW about how much track time would this be??

[Elbow]

I'll be on street tires :(

[Elbow]

I've been meaning to get the civic to a road course for some time now. If I sell my dirtbike and get a few more items for the civic i'll try to make this :goodjob: BTW about how much track time would this be??

About 40 minutes total

[slow_hatch]

About 40 minutes total

geez, $160 for 40 mins. Hrmmmm.....guess well see

[dakilla4ever]

I'll be there with a good amount of people from my crew. But If you can, break it down exactly what we have to do in order to run on Sunday.
Example:
1. Sign up on SCCA.COM (Which one do we sign up fro?)
2. etc.
3. etc........

[dakilla4ever]

And does all this count for the one on March 22-&23?

[Thighs]

MATT IM RIDIN WITH YOU

[OnURleft]

Also for those of interested in going with loud ass cars..your going to get black flagged if you have anything more than a basic cat-back. That excludes very loud fart-cans, catless cars, and extremely loud cars with cats. Your car literally needs to be stock sounding + a little grunt to it to not get flagged off. I have cats, resonators and BB Tri-flo and if it were 10% louder it would probably get flagged.

VERY TRUE. (glad i have a race car)

step by step

1. get SCCA membership http://www.scca.com/documents/Club%20Forms/sccamemberapp.pdf
2. sign up on DLB
3. check over you car and make sure its ready for track conditions (100+ mph, hard braking, etc.)
4. get a helmet
5. have a sh!t load of fun!
6. (just for me) beat Ian's on street tires:boobies:

So.......no open down pipe?? :thinking: :thinking: :(

[matthewAPM]

So.......no open down pipe?? :thinking: :thinking: :(

NO! lol

[atlantamx3]

Or better yet, Join SCCA at the 1st Autocross, Autocross for Free, then work an event weekend at Road Atlanta and then PDX for $20.

40 minutes of instructor led track time for $20 is the Deal of the damn century.

You can get lucky and have a cool instructor like i had last time-- Mark Pombo who is a regional Spec Miata Champ (from my understanding) so he knew his ****.

[Elbow]

When is the first autocross?

[atlantamx3]

2/17/08 @ Six Flags

[slow_hatch]

NO! lol

Just out of curosity, why is SCCA so strict about noise? Last time I checked all my motorcycles are louder than my car.

[Elbow]

They arent, its quiet time on Sunday, which is supposed to be quiet which is why no race cars are racing.

[Elbow]

2/17/08 @ Six Flags
Just saw it on soloatl...looked the other day and it wasn't up yet. :doh: How will Six Flags be? Big lot?

[slow_hatch]

Ahhh, that explains alot. So they are trying to cheat the system :D

[matthewAPM]

full lot son. what what! it is like twice the size of the turner lot. im guessing 2min? lol

yeah the ristriction is for church or something. i only know of 2 race car that ran in quiet time...:ninja:

[StraightSix]

Not so much cheating the system, but allowing street cars to run. The problem we've had at Road Atlanta, and by we I mean NASA, is that there isn't a noise station like at Roebling Road.

Although, I think SCCA has enough man-power that they have an actual sound guy somewhere in the infield.

The noise restriction is imposed by Hall County ordnance, and one or more Hall County police officers might be in the paddock to make sure the noise restrictions are enforced.

Most likely its just the corner workers who will be judging the sound. They alternate which station it's at so you can't "let off" when you pass by it, which they caught on to. "Hey everyone is getting caught at 7 so make sure not be loud comming out of 7...." So they move it around. I seriously doubt any officer will enforce anything at all. Never seen that in years, nor do I think they care. Road Atlanta just gets a fine if they are caught randomly, so they do a good job of making sure our asses arn't to loud.

[JohnnyC.]

Did anyone get any pics fo the black MX-3 at the last PDX in November?? Or any of the Mx-3s?

Thanks for using my pics to advertise for this fun event, Matt!

I've got a few pictures of your MX-3 (I think) and a few of the white one as well from the ARRC PDX laps. Keep in mind, I am by no means a photographer, but I was there with a camera:goodjob:

yeah. this isnt some street racer group. this is on a weekend where all the top level racers in the southeast will be. so dont try to be a showoff with a loud car. it proves nothing.

btw, the sound control guy...thats me

again, if u got questions, do hesitate to send me a PM. we were all noobs at some point...

[dakilla4ever]

From the link, it shows the registration at $75+? So what's the price of it if I join but don't help work on Saturday?

[StraightSix]

The issue we ran into was an HPDE driver in a supercharged K20 swapped late Civic Si hatch. He had no problems when we were at RA in March last year, and got black flagged on sound when we were there in August. I *know* we don't have a sound tech, so it was purely the subjective judgment of one of the corner workers. So, I my post was written from my experience with RA, quiet hours, and noise.

[matthewAPM]

$75 to register as SCCA member ($45 if under 24)
$100 for drivers NOT working saturday and sunday
$20 for drivers working weekend saturday and sunday

Yeah. :D When did you show me that? Oh yeah hows the M3 deal going?

[matthewAPM]

ill be there..

cool. car?

[DrivenMind]

Who would I contact about getting on the media list for this event. It looks like a lot of fun, and I wouldn't mind having a little more flexibility to walk around the track and take pictures.

[santacruz77]

i wanna be on track. maybe ill start fixing all the little things.

[IDCoconut]

You don't have to be an SCCA member for this right?

[santacruz77]

you can buy a like short term membership just for an event but if you plan on doing it like more than once or autox its worth just being a real member.

[matthewAPM]

You don't have to be an SCCA member for this right?

exactly like santacruz said. personally, i would go ahead and get one, because i havent read the new PDX rules but if they dont let u run without a membership, ur SOL

[matthewAPM]

Who would I contact about getting on the media list for this event. It looks like a lot of fun, and I wouldn't mind having a little more flexibility to walk around the track and take pictures.

i will try to get in contact with them today. so u want to take pictures? if so, thanks! there are not many people that take pictures of the events, and if they do its just the race cars. its nice for the drivers and students to be able to see there car on the track. makes them want to come back.

[matthewAPM]

ATTENTION EVERYONE. i called the SCCA national office today and talked to them about becoming a member. to join with the SCCA you can mail the application in to them and once received, it takes around 3-5 days for them to process and ship. OR, you can call the office and do it all over the phone.

if you want a temporary lisence for the event, it is a $15 dollar fee at the track, and the $15 pay will be transfered to a full membership lisence if you decided to get one.

about the membership # when registering. I called the Atlanta SCCA office and they gave me numbers to use. if u plan on registering for the event and paying for a temporary lisence AT THE TRACK, you must PM me for the membership #.

[EJ25RUN]

bump

[JDMirza]

Sounds like Fun.

[mushroom_toy]

Eh I would love to do this too bad it cost so much $$$$.

When you dont have a job, then yes it is a lot of money.

[matthewAPM]

TTT. anyone else interested?

[ATLem1]

interested... but im gonna have to pm you though.. i never road raced but really want to get into some. i need to figure which exhaust i have to run too. i would hate to do it with the stock, but i dont know if my catback would be too loud.

[dakilla4ever]

Well I'll be there for sure. Where do we sign up to work on saturday?

[dakilla4ever]

Well uh I need help. Theres 2 events. Theres the PDX and then there the "ENDURO". Which one do i sign up for?

[Elbow]

PDX

[redgst97]

matthewAPM:

I tried sending you a PM with a few questions, but the system said you were not allowing PMS.
Please contact me when you can. 678-794-3697

Thanks!

John

[dakilla4ever]

Ok. ppl are confusing the hell out of me. Let me get this straight. We sign up to work for the club races and we sign up to run in the pdx's. Or is it vice versa.

[Kamelyn]

I'll be there ready to go.

[Georgia_boy]

ohhhh hell yeah!!!!!
I'm there!

[santacruz77]

you sign up to work the actuall racing event. you will be racing in pdx

[Elbow]

If you wanna work, sign up to work, then worker PDX, if you want to JUST do the PDX and not work, sign up for the PDX only.

[mrsoul55]

I'm considering signing up for this.

I've never been to Road Atlanta before so I imagine it's going to be crowded around there with the races going on that weekend. Where exactly do we go if we're signed up for the PDX?

I'm considering killing off my R compounds and getting new ones for the autocross season. Will there be an area to change tires and leave tools/jack/tires/etc...? I'll probably just run my street tires since it's my first time but just want to keep my options open if I do bring my autox tires.

Thanks for the help everyone.

All SCCA events at RA DO have sound control monitoring. I am not sure if they monitor during the PDX as running then requires 'street' exhaust to begin with.

[Humphrizzle]

i'll be there... registered.

[Stormhammer]

matthewAPM, I can't PM you're ass! I wanna know about getting the temp. SCCA license!

[Elbow]

If anyone has questions, you can e-mail me as well and I will help as much as I can.

[Stormhammer]

^^ PM Sent

Is there a limit to how many cars can be registered? I just posted this on starquestclub, so I wouldn't be surprised if a pack of Starions will show up... who have never been on Road Atlanta :lmao:

I just signed up but my receipt says the event is Saturday, 2/23/08. I thought the PDX was actually on Sunday 2/24/08. What's the deal?

[santacruz77]

o no your racing with the big folks i n the enduro..


i kid i kid

[KevinT707]

I'm very interested in trying something new such as Road Atlanta because for the past couple years I've only done drag strips but anyway when I saw that there was a noise ordinance and that you would get flagged for being too loud it kinda broke my heart.

MatthewAPW, can you tell me if you think this would be too loud for the track? CLICK HERE (http://media.putfile.com/CRX-vs-DA-drag) . I recently got a Magnaflow resonator put in so it's a tad bit quieter than that. LMK thanks!

[wantboost]

he has been banned because he is underage. stupid, but thoose are the rules.

[matthewAPM]

I AM BACK!

please if you have ANY questions, PM me or call me at 404-455-2784

There are noise regulations but only on Sunday morning. On the other days your will hear the loudest cars period. If you think its so loud to risk then I wouldn't sign up for a Sunday morning one day event. Most likely every car without cats will be to loud. There are events at RA. every weekend there isn't a race so don't feel like your missing out. PC, Panoz, BMWCCA, ACNA, N.A.S.A are just some of the few clubs that run on Road A 2-3 times a year. Thats alot of events if you do them all and thats just a few. I'd also recommend joining them now as these events fill up very fast (BMW CCA,P.C etc. in a few ours to a few days from sign up day). Based on the Video your car is way louder then mine and you can't get much louder then mine on a Sunday morning.

[matthewAPM]

M5 LITE is a tard. haha JP. he is correct. there are tons of events at RA but from what the video sounds like, try to get the sound down. or put on the stock

[KevinT707]

Hrmm I see, I was watching a video of you racing at RA too and it didn't seem that loud. It will be hard to get my car that quiet but who knows maybe a really good muffler will do the trick. I thought the racing event for RA was Sunday only, and Sat was for Auto-X or something else?

[matthewAPM]

to make this clear...

The road racing for the SARRC is on saturday the 23rd. The PDX (trackday) is the sunday morning the 24th and that afternoon/night is the enduro.

[DinanM3atl]

I am not an SCCA Member. So what is my total cost if I decide to come? Out the door? Who do I pay for each part?

Who is handling the tech? Is this run in quiet time on Sunday?

I am on like my 6th or 7th HPDE(Full weekend events) mostly with BMWCCA... Does that mean I would be in run group C? I am in B and last two weekends with BMWCCA I get signed off so where would I run?

What are the passing rules? Over the roof to the inside of the track? You say "street exhaust"... Well I pass emissions but it won't pass noise if it is quiet time...

[kerndog8]

To add to his above - what needs to be done to volunteer? (this would be for the next event). I'd love to volunteer and then run my car.

[DinanM3atl]

Yah that too...


welcome to the world of motorsports. this is nothing compaired to other organizations

This is not completely true. While it is only "100 dollars" it is the same cost of almost EVERY other HPDE event. Take BMWCCA at RA. It is 400 dollars for 8 20 minute sessions on track. On top of that you also get 8 20 minute class room sessions talking about car control, traction circle etc etc etc

On top of that you get a catered meal AND a t-shirt!

So it comes out to the same price... 100 is less than 400 but it is the same overall price.

*edit*

25 minute sessions on track and in class room. So BMWCCA is cheaper per minute of track time ;)

What are the passing rules? Over the roof to the inside of the track? You say "street exhaust"... Well I pass emissions but it won't pass noise if it is quiet time...

Halston as far as I know its just a Sunday morning thing. I'm working the event and I signed up just to took around on Sunday...2 sessions is just enough to get me wanting more so I will prob be on street tires on that note. Your car is to loud from what I remember at CCA so i'd pass unless you want to run the E30. If you do go through though i'm sure you'd be in the intermediate group like CCA


Hrmm I see, I was watching a video of you racing at RA too and it didn't seem that loud. It will be hard to get my car that quiet but who knows maybe a really good muffler will do the trick. I thought the racing event for RA was Sunday only, and Sat was for Auto-X or something else?

that was prob. Halstons M/// putting around which is also alot louder then my car and gets black flagged (or would) on a sunday morning.

Haha now wouldn't that be a waste lol. To bad...i'm working sound control that weekend but I don't really know to many details for sunday. If I could "pretend like I can't hear you" then I would.

[dazn]

to make this clear...

The road racing for the SARRC is on saturday the 23rd. The PDX (trackday) is the sunday morning the 24th and that afternoon/night is the enduro.

oh man, the five hour enduro. I wonder how many cars are registered for it....

[matthewAPM]

(this is matt - redefinedM3 fyi)

haha. i had to sign Ian up. anyway, DLBracing.com is were u need to go. Sign up for the PDX as a driver for febuary 24th. then sign up to work for the event (i think it is Atl (CR))

[matthewAPM]

Matt I want enduro. Whens our Exige enduro at V.I.R.? I'm pumped.

[matthewAPM]

ok ok. if you sign up for the event AND work the saturday races and sunday enduro, its free (FREE...yes free).

I will give you all the info on memberships and everything with a PM. send me the question you have and ill try to answer them ASAP.

[Oz10]

alright I'm signed up.

[DinanM3atl]

Hahah

I don't want to break the rules :) Just trying to get the details... No e30 though... Wheels would fall off and I would get run down by anything!

[matthewAPM]

The very end of the year. We are working on that now. Also, I will be letting you know about our plans for the nelson leadges 24hr.

btw, we might be having more race cars then what I was thinking.

[matthewAPM]

Hahah

i know this sounds stupid but if you can, bring the car to the V next thursday and ill tell you if it would be ok or not. thats what im telling everyone to do. If you know ur dB level I could tell u now.

Sex. Maybe I can keep the Exige as a goody bag. It'll be hard to part with it after romping the little celica heart out of it for a few hours.


Hahah

Haha neither would I. Hah you sure? E30= best car to learn how to go fast in. If you can run high 1:40's in a slightly modified E30 then your golden in just about anything.

Halston send Thomas or Mike a message and tell them you want to be first in line for OBD2 stuff. I would of waited if I didn't have so many mods sitting around (including full obd1 stuff). Hah I plan to have my race car = loud then fun street car for sunday mornings to run = quiet time. My parents/siblings cars come in good use a session(S5, GTO etc.) and will greatly come in handy during quiet time if I ever get to loud.

[matthewAPM]

haha. i want to run ITS. if you ask me, its the enduro class car to have.

[kerndog8]

send MatthewAPM a P.M and he will get you in the right direction with SCCA.
B.T.W of course I knew that was you..welcome to the forum. I recognized the sig :goodjob:

[OnURleft]

[matthewAPM]

[kerndog8]

Dang I need 4 8.5's. Kosei's here I come. No more borrowing slicks and wheels from buddies. If you don't want the kirk bar I have cash ready.

Yeah I have a set of K1's in the garage. The kirk bar - I'll be keeping that for 2008. Don't want to do a full cage yet.

[matthewAPM]

so, i was looking at the entry list, who from here is signed up already?

[Elbow]

Me.

And to clarify still some people seem not to understand. This weeknd is an actual road racing weekend, not just track day toy stuff, there will be real race cars, real racing, etc. The PDX is a driving session on Sunday morning during the quiet hour, between real racing, due to Hall county noise stuff, that's why your car has to be quiet. The SCCA does tech and all.

[santacruz77]

-fart cans
-primered cars

-spoilers on cars that dont need them

[santacruz77]

[matthewAPM]

[KevinT707]

Good point there. Only gayfers drive Miatas anyway :gay: !

[gforce23]

Hey, is it too late to sign up for this thing? I'd love to get some track time under my belt. But here's the thing - my 6 spd JCW CooperS is out in NYC and I'm currently stuck driving a dumb *** Accord 4 banger. To add to my woes, it's a slushbox.. will I get bumrapped for showing up with such a sissy car? :D

[Elbow]

No because there is no ricers at this event. Just old men in lame ass cars like 240's with build KA24E's

[kerndog8]

[Crowml]
