Default Track Day - Talladega Gran Prix 5/17/2009

From S2KAtlanta:




Our first official S2kAtlanta track day for 2009 will be on Sunday May 17th at Little Talledega Gran Prix (www.tgprace.com).

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 timing will not take place however drivers are free to time themselves.

Requirements to run TGP are as follows:
Long pants and closed toe shoes
Snell 95/M2000 or higher rated helmet
No loose cabling or or car body parts
Car numbers (will be asigned day of event if you don't already have some, Painters tape work fine)

Pricing will be $190 for all participants.

This price 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. Payments can be made via paypal to events@s2katlanta.com.

A total of 25 spots are currently available. A minimum deposit of $125 is required to hold your spot. All payments are non-refundable, it is your responsibility to sell your spot if you have paid and cannot make the track day. Final payment is due no later than Friday May 8th or you will risk losing your spot.

Those attending need to be at the track no later than 7:00am Central time (bama time). Tech inspection will start once the gates are open and the drivers 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.

If you plan on attending this track day, post up so your name can be added to the list. Remember, no spot is considered reserved until you have made either the down payment or paid in full.

We would also welcome any instructors interested in attending and helping out by riding with novices and first-timers.
