We're trying to open up a drag strip/road course closer to Atlanta and we need A LOT of support. If you would like a track in town and will support us in our efforts, please sign below.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HELPFUL OR POSITIVE TO SAY, DON'T COMMENT OR YOU WILL RECIEVE NEGATIVE REPS.

Thanx in advance

Im definatly in for that one

**skacore** · 08-09-2009, 05:41 AM

I would love this. Where is the nearest drag strip that anyone can go to?

**Elbow** · 08-09-2009, 06:30 AM

Are you kidding?...

www.roadatlanta.com
www.atlantadragway.com
www.atlantamotorsportspark.net (OMG A NEW TRACK OPENING...)
www.silverdollarraceway.com
www.roeblingroad.com

and that's just a few, huge lack of tracks in GA eh?

Road Atlanta isn't far from Atlanta at ALL, and AMP is close too.

we want to do a road course too, so hopefully you'll be able to run on our track. it will be closer and cheaper, so you'll save $ and gas!

**blacknightteg** · 08-09-2009, 04:30 PM

good luck trying to get that done. with the amount of money you would have to spend on insurance. it will be astonishing if you can make that happen.

For those of us that live within the city limits, AMS, Road Atlanta, etc. are long drives for us. The distances below are from the intersection of I-75/85 and I-20 in downtown Atlanta, which is about 10 minutes from my home:

Road Atlanta: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 57 minutes Distance: 52.89 miles

Atlanta Dragway: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 1 hour 11 minutes Distance: 69.42 miles

AMP: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 1 hour 7 minutes Distance: 58.03 miles

Roebling Road Raceway: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 3 hours 48 minutes Distance: 235.86 miles

Silver Dollar Raceway: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 1 hour 53 minutes Distance: 99.91 miles

We are trying to put our track in Ellenwood off of Moreland or out near Stonecrest Mall:

Moreland Ave.: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 17 minutes Distance: 9.45 miles

Stonecrest: Total Travel Estimates: Time: 24 minutes Distance: 19.26 miles

i dont know how you will be able to do that with as many homes and what have you that already exist. noise complaints are going to probably be your key killer in the idea.

in the area of moreland/675 that would be a nice area.. theres already a landfill there. So i doubt anyone would contest a race track. And the stonecrest area, would be decent too..Alot ot space in between there and stockbridge.. But there is also alot of new houses back in that area..

i know where you're talking about, but the area im working with is a little fruther up the street; about 2 miles south of 285

**blacknightteg** · 08-09-2009, 04:59 PM

yeah. i mean to me, honestly any of the distances you posted for those tracks is really not that big of a deal to me. the thing about those tracks is that most of them are already established and many people know the facilities at those tracks. it will be hard pressed for you to get an audience/crowd/racers to attend if they are already familiar with the workings of one.

you may think that, but i have over 1500 signatures and e-mail addresses from people that anxiously waiting for this. even if they dont show up, i am working with a few marketing companies that will get is out there.

**blacknightteg** · 08-09-2009, 05:01 PM

hey i mean more power too ya. especially if its focused more along the lines of a grassroots track, nothing wrong with that. i hope i don't sound like im hating on the idea, just giving insight.

we apreciate your input. all we're looking for is a bit of support so when we present it to investorts, they will see that we have support from the automotive community. IA is well known, so we are looking to you guys to help out a tad bit.

if you can set up a road course that would be awesome. Its hard to pay $400 to fun a weekend at barbers, and little talledega is $150 a day which is not too bad but its hard to find a track day group to go tag alone with

**matthewAPM** · 08-11-2009, 04:51 PM

This will never happen. To make a GOOD road course, your looking at a multimillion dollar build.

Unless you have something like 50+++ million, will never even get started.

**Turbd4DE** · 08-11-2009, 06:57 PM

What about getting the Dallas, Ga Raceway back open.

**strokedcert4** · 08-11-2009, 07:48 PM

im down

**WTF?** · 08-12-2009, 09:38 AM

if you decide to do a drag strip how long would it be 1/4 or 1/8 mile? and another area to do autocross would be great too along with a road course.

it will be a 1/4 mile, but will be setup to run either 1/8 or 1/4, depending on what the drivers want to do.

me too!! we could surely use the money!! plus, it will open up at least 100 jobs for others that need work.

**Turbd4DE** · 08-12-2009, 09:53 PM

What about Dallas Raceway they have been closed for a while .. It was first built as a 1/4 then they said cars started getting faster so the changed it to 1/8.. They now have been closed for about 4yrs. Its in Dallas,Ga right outside of Kennesaw... Just a thought..

**claybird** · 08-13-2009, 12:28 AM

Im down sign me up

**Big Baller** · 08-13-2009, 12:32 AM

1/8 sucks even if they open it back up i would hardly go. Its kind of a waste the minute you shift into third you have to hit the brakes
