SCCA road race/ trackday at Road Atlanta

[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]

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

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 #.

[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]

[redgst97]

matthewAPM:

Please contact me when you can. 678-794-3697

Thanks!

[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.

[metalman]

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.

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

[Thighs]

if anybody needs questions answered, heres matts number:404-455-2784

[Stormhammer]

[mrsoul55]

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 . 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

[dakilla4ever]

Good.

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
