Road Atlanta packrats?
 
Is anyone planning on going to RA for santas toyrun this year? Let it be known!

GeneSplicer 11-06-2012 08:52 PM

guess not :dunno:

Gryff 11-06-2012 10:43 PM

Seems to be the case...

sixshooter 11-07-2012 09:10 AM

I am.

My buddy Gary is going to bring his R32 GT-R (had black Sentra there last year). A customer of mine named Mike is bringing his Factory Five Cobra replica. My buddy Jarod who was there last year with the motorhome and the G8 GT will be back with a brand new Boss 302 and a '84 RX7 racecar. His wife will be driving as well. My other friend Jamie will try to come but will wait too late to register and be unable (I can see it coming) (N/A NA Miata).

I haven't checked with Lars or any of you guys yet. Are you going, Collin?

It didn't look like Bryan's car was ready yet.

Doppelgänger 11-07-2012 09:23 AM

I thought it was going to be at AMP? Gess I need to check.

Gryff 11-07-2012 09:42 AM

The amp event was originally the same day as petit lemans, but I ended up being cancelled.

I am currently planning on going, and everything looks good to do so as well. I just need to figure out where I will be sleeping this time. I can bug Lars about it again, maybe Ill get an answer from him. lol.

sixshooter 11-07-2012 10:19 AM

I'm hotel-ing this time with Gary and probably have my nephew on the floor. We're booked up or I'd offer.

shuiend 11-07-2012 10:23 AM

Is someone bringing a grill? If so I might be willing to come out and cook.

Its all good, Ill find a nice floor to stay on, or a tent somewhere.
Lars come drive! and grill! ill help out this time : D

On another note, six.
Do you know what the deal is with being signed off from de2 to de3? I currently have a ultrashield with 6pt harness for driver and oem seat with oem 3 pt for passenger. I may be able to aquire a 6pt for the pass as well, but I will not be able to get a seat for the passenger. Would an instructor still be able to ride along? or am I sol?

Also, side note i do still have the oem drivers seat and belts if need be, but I would prefer to keep the ultrashield in the car.

GeneSplicer 11-09-2012 05:51 AM

IF I can swing it, I'll drive over for the day - that's a big IF too.

Gryff 11-09-2012 12:48 PM

I feel ya, its probably quite the drive.

GeneSplicer 11-09-2012 01:58 PM

RA is only a 2.5hr joy ride for me - getting away is the hard part!

For some reason I always thought it was a farther haul than that for you...

Jdilla 11-11-2012 11:05 AM

I live in Clemson SC, I have been dying to go to road atlanta.

Gryff 11-11-2012 11:48 AM

You have a rollbar, come on up!

Jdilla 11-12-2012 10:03 PM

Oh yea man... roll bar, turbo'd with a hard top + about 250+ hp

Gryff 11-12-2012 11:47 PM

come on up! just becareful, the walls at RA are vicious...

Jdilla 11-12-2012 11:54 PM

When are you guys doing track day? and what should I register for? I have a lot of experience racing bikes and motorcross.

Sign up for the annual membership and then check the box for HPDE1. Do it at https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1345


My buddy Jamie just signed up for the event, too. It's gonna be a party.

nickt93 11-13-2012 10:58 AM

Word - checking in. I'll be at AMP for the Santa Toy Run. I'll also be there this weekend with Tracks Unlimited.

Side note, are we wanting to camp out on the hill at 10b again?

Ahhhhhhh - I see the reason for the confusion now. There are TWO Santa's Toy Run track days in Atlanta this year: NASA's at Road Atlanta, and a second event at Atlanta Motorsports Park.

Here's info on the AMP one: Santa's toy run 2012 AMP Trackday $85 plus 2 toys - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

$85 + two unwrapped toys

(edit: looks like registration for the AMP event is full)

Gryff 11-13-2012 03:01 PM

Things are making much more sense now. Which are you going to be at then?

Oh, gawd, I hope not. Top of hill is colder and windier than anywhere else. At the very bottom of the hill behind the turn 1 photographer's stand would be great, if you ask me. There is electricity there, too. So bring your electric blanket and space heater. But really, I don't care because I'm staying in a hotel.

Gryff 11-13-2012 04:53 PM

By camp, I meant hang out between run groups. turn 1 works as well.

I think it would be a neat spot to be at, anyone have any objections?

Doppelgänger 11-14-2012 09:11 AM

Yeah...having two events with the same name is confusing lol. I know the guys running the AMP event have been doing "Santa Runs" for years (Nick knows who I am talking about).
