    Default Forged Performance: Atlanta Motorsports Park Member Appreciation Day

    This past Saturday the Forged Performance Team gathered together an impressive arsenal of high performance Nissan machinery to display at the Atlanta Motorsports Park Member Appreciation Day. Our caravan to AMP included the Forged Performance NISMO 370Z and a handful of heavily modified Nissan GT-R's ranging from a fully track prepped FP800 to a 4.0L + JUN twin 35R equipped street monster. We arrived at AMP shortly after 9am and claimed our corner of the paddock by the Clubhouse. The quality of vehicles on property for the event was just remarkable.









    The main purpose of the day's activities was to celebrate the opening of the kart track, which is the only CIK Level A kart track in America (F1 standard) with an impressive 43' of elevation change. The kart track was extremely active all day with members and guests breaking in the course with some proper hotlaps.





    Various experts were also on hand throughout the day. Scott Siegel of Forged Performance and Siegel Racing Driver Education Clinics held a presentation with an open discussion covering all aspects of the proper line around AMP.





    Reese from MTI Racing spoke on things such as car set-up, mechanics and safety equipment. With many, many years of track experience under his belt Reese was able to help even the most seasoned drivers correct issues and make their vehicles more capable on track.



    Jeremy, CEO/Owner of AMP also stepped in to provide a brief overview of the facilities and thanking all official members in attendance.



    Catered lunch was also provided for all which produced a very social mid-day break from the activities.





    Of course, the track was open to all AMP members in attendance providing an abundant amount of track time.

    This is the mother of all kart tracks. It is INSANE, watching the guys in their own shifter karts out there was just ridiculous.

    What's "Level A" I know it's not the only CIK certified kart track in America.

    Yeah how much are rentals? Will they be having races up there or no because of noise? I'd love to get back in a kart, I wish they still ran at Road Atlanta.

    I hope they get some races, should be cool to see which track takes the cake AMP or the new one in NC.

    I think they were doing the rentals for $20/session...which was 10 minutes? I could be wrong. Check on: Welcome - Atlanta Motorsports Park & Track - Sports Cars, Karts & Supermoto

    From what I know, which isn't much CIK has different levels/ratings on kart courses. You can see more info on the kart track itself here: The Kart Course

    So far I have not heard if they will be having "races" there or not, I do know the karts must not be louder than 92db from 50 feet of the track.

    No problem guys...everybody over on the kart track looked like they were having a blast. The track is nuts, the elevation changes are just unreal. I haven't been on it yet with a kart but I did drive a GT-R around it a few weeks ago bwahah

    It is my happy place. I was there Sunday driving my own car with the Porsche Club of Chattanooga. I slapped a Go-Pro on my car for a few sessions, there is a lot of wind noise but you get the idea of the track:

    If you ever want to stop by and get a ride a long when I'm there just let me know.

    Nissan ftw. I wish I could get out there on track, but for now I decided I'm not going to do any track days or any more mods until I pay off my car. I do not like being in debt. :/
