I'm in. I'll drive down form Dalton to have a track day w/ my 8. How much does it cost with the discount?

Welcome to the forum! The track day at Road Atlanta is really open to everyone. It would be cool to get some RX8s on the track though. To get more details about the upcoming trackday look at the thread further down in this part of the forum. There is info on how to check out the website for the details. The price is $225 for Saturday and there is a whole weekend option as well. If it is your first time, you have to drive in group C which is lead/follow so chances are you won't get a chance to drive your car close to its potential. I figure that I have to start somewhere...

If we send in 6 or more registrations at the same time, we can get a 10% discount. That means if you decided that you want in, you would have to print out a registration form, get a check or money order or your CC number and get the form to me. I don't mind collecting the forms and sending them in. I want to get mine in the mail by the end of next week. So, y'all reply back and tell me what you want to do. I am going regardless of the discount barring any catastrophe.

Oh that thread - guess I should have checked that one... since I started it

 

what do you mean first time? I've driven on a track before. Plus I guess you can count doin 157 down I-75 :D . But yeah man sounds good. Dont make it the 18th though that's nopi. Might enter my car not sure as of now though. Oh how long do you get to run your car? $200 for the day doesn't sound to bad.

THanks,
Jamie

 

157 down 75..that's smart...and I know you didn't do that in the 8...unless you had a hind wind..:D

 

Hey Jamie - it is the 9th of October.

 

yep sure did. Tuesday, July 19 headed from Hamilton Place Mall to connector 3 in Dalton. I never said that it was a smart thing to do, but I have to say it was fun :D . I'm preety sure it wont go much faster. It was in sixth gear at 8900ish RMPs (maybe more since I was trying to look at the road and holding on tight.). Dont know but it would be fun to take it to the track. What's the deal with the first time running a track thing?

Thanks,
Jamie

 

Any of you Atlanta or nearby folks not attending the track thingy, Robins AFB is having it's annual Wings and Wheels car show at the Aviation Museum on the 9th. $20 individual cars and I think $75 for clubs to enter and they are giving out $50 prizes every 15 minutes and other stuff like a poker run etc...if interested PM me and I'll e-mail the info files to you. BTW it's free if you want to just look around!

 

On a thursday?

 

FYI...The top end on the 8 unless your going downhill or have a nice wind on your back is around 148-154..I myself have hit 152 and that's as fast as it will go ...plenty of RPM's left but the 6th gear is to tall to push it past the wind...so...your claim is rather interesting...oh yeh..and that was on a TRACK, not the interstate...please stop that...you're an endangerment and that does not hold up well in this forum...

 

Oh my! That is one of the worst areas to speed! FYI from traveling through there almost every day:
You've got cops crawling all around the new 75/153 interchange, then sit median 2 miles down the road at the 75/24 split, and then GA. looooves to catch TN drivers coming over the border, 1 mile after the 75/24 split.
You should count your blessings I haven't been as lucky :D LOL

If you're going to get frisky.. Ft. Oglethorpe to Ringgold is desolate ALWAYS. But I wouldn't suggest going THAT fast due to the apparent dangers

 

chill man it was at 2:15ish in the morning. Nobody but me for a ways. Plus I just hit 157 then slowed to about 80ish. Not endangering anyone but myself. Wouldn't even think about going nearly that fast with other cars around. I agree though it is usually a terrible speed trap. The cops are mostly around near the bridges though. All I can say about my claim is that's the number it registered. Mazda says that it's max is 150+ so I believe it. That was when I just had my exhaust too. oh well.

Thanks,
Jamie

 

undefinedundefinedSliver 8 with Spoiler in the Conyer's Area maybe seen patrolling 75 north or south between Conyers and Warren Robins. Haven't seen any on the road but still looking. Maybe we need to hook up and have a 8 day.....

 

Hey I am interested let me know something at ginuwine1969@hotmail. Thanks.

 

Shinka here in Kennesaw. I see several around here these days. Which there were more people around that were on the forum.

 

Wow this is an old thread! A lot of us ATL locals spend about half the time on this forum, the other half on garx8club.com. Check it out for more on the ATL scene -
