    Hey guys, I wanted to invite you all to the S2KAtlanta.com track day.

    This is a relaxing track event. The morning is structured, and as the day gets later people leave earlier and it turns in to an open track. PM or post up if you're interested in the track day.

    This is an excellent course for beginners and first time track goes 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 require 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.

    We just found out that TGPR is charging $5 at the gate. This is to cover the cost of the gate worker. They no longer allow us to have someone on the gate.

    What a day!

    AWD was the king yesterday for sure. 2 huge offs, and a little morning mayham. In the afternoon, we got on the right track, and got in some really good laps.

    Thanks so much Scott for the instruction. It was very enlightening, and hopefully we can some people out to your school.

    Hi folks, thanks so much for coming out and joining us on Sunday. Scott, I can't thank you enough for instructing for us:bigthumb: There were a lot of happy drivers out there that learned a lot. We'd love to have you and Sanders and hopefully, more wrxatlanta members join us again for a track day. We really appreciate you guys helping us to make this a safe and fun event.

    Yes.

    I had a blast at this event; even in a rented V6 mustang. I even managed to keep it on the track.
