Alittle more info
Hey guys, Planning a Track Day on March 12th, at Talladega Gran Prix. I'm currently working on getting the details from the track owners.
This is supposed to be fun not meant to be competitive!!!
So far I know:
We Need 15 people to make this happen!
Cost-$135 per driver
Everyone must have a helmet.
This is an excellent course for beginners and first time track goers because of it's long runoffs and short straights, 100+ mph. Don't be fooled however, the course is very demanding and requires your full attention at all times. I have not mastered that blasted decreasing radius turn!
Official timings will not take place however drivers are free to time themselves.
Requirements to run TGP are as follows:
1) Long pants and closed toe shoes
2) Snell 95/M2000 or higher rated helmet
3) No loose cabling or car body parts
4) Car numbers (will be assigned day of event if you don't already have some, Painters tape work fine)
$135 will get you a full day of track time and will get you a minimum of 2.5 hours of seat time. Estimated seat time this year will be closer to 3 hours.
A total of 10 spots are currently available.
Those attending need to be at the track no later than 7:00am Central time. Tech inspection will start once the gates are open and the driver's meet will start at 7:45am. *If you miss the driver's meet and/or tech inspection, your track sessions will be delayed until it is taken care of.

I am for sure down, car will be ready to go.
very tempting hmmmmmmm.........time to get some new tires on my stockers
did the price go up?? seems a little steep.
This is the cheapest track day you can get compared to Road Atlanta, or Roebling. I'd sign up but I'll be at Road Atlanta the weekend before for 2 days. I won't have enough time to get new tires, and brakes in between. Sigh...

To go out on a track day on my dad's birthday.... maybe I'll see if he wants to go too.
its $1500 for a weekday so thats about right. they are pretty cool there at TGPR. just dont do stupid shit and our day will be awesome. they like it when things are organized and makes their day easier.
anyone know a good type of tires to get that would be a 215/60r15 size or in that area? want to get a set of relatively good performance tires to put on my stock wheels for tracking.
I'm DOWN!!!! ....but I must say, Friday is the WORST possible day of my week, but I will plan to take it off :P

Cool I got the day of and the day before off work to prep. Cant wait. Is it posted up somewhere on another forum? I dont really recognize any of the names.
Question about the run groups guys. I know personally im not going to run for an hour straight...but Id hate to wait 2 hours before I get to run again. Is it possible to have smaller run groups and go for 30 minute sessions? That way we can have cool down periods without having to wait forever?
30 mins can be done. I am not planning on beating on my car for 1hr straight either. Posted on EVOatlanta, here, and rest are friends.
Added to list is another
