Default Atlanta Motorsports Park

Wow, looking pretty cool from the facebook photo albums.

Shame, its 8hrs away.

Even bigger shame, the stillborn Bluegrass Motorsports Park in KY that could have been ~1hr from me.

I am growing tired of them teasing me with this track. I'm ignoring it until I hear of the first group that actually drives on it. Its a little over an hour away and having two tracks I can sleep in my own bed would be great.

In December last year it was supposed to have pavement and paddock ready for Feb/Mar
In March it was supposed to available mid-May

I'm done with it until someone uses it

Agree,

But I can't help but check in on it from time to time. Seems like it would be next to impossible not to be driving on it early next year. I'm not all that excited about the layout, or the length, hope the elevation changes really wake it up.

If it's inside the fence it's a racing surface.

30 minutes from my crib. I'm going to always have Jason stay at my house, so I can have him good and hung over for the race on Sat / Sun!
