Default AMP Sept 22&23 with SVT/Track club

I just signed up for 2 days at AMP for $405 including the $30 membership fee.. Pretty cheap to me..

A few of you have done VIR with them I have seen.

Anyone else going to join me at AMP ?

Yea, I need to join one of the clubs putting it on and then ask for the instructor link.
Unsure if there is a fee for instructors yet

I have done three track events at AMP (one in the rain) and I really enjoy this track. I might see you there.

AMP is a fun, but technical track. The whole time will have you shifting, turning, braking. There is no time to really just take a deep breath. So, the track wears you out, but it has a nice rhythem to it and will punish you for not hitting your marks.

Hmm... so is that a good or bad thing? lol

And this will be my 1st time there, but I am looking forward to it. It looks fun, exciting, and scary from the passenger seat. All of which I like..lol

It's a good thing because it teaches you to be a better driver.

What's exciting about this track is all of the blind corners. It's a very "engaging" track.

As you said earlier one must hit the marks, learn to shift smoothly up and down and, I might add, suspension loading with throttle/brake at the right time for good acceleration especially with track out onto the front straight. When one can do 10/10ths at AMP, one can do 10/10ths anywhere! Also, there is no other track that is such a tight roller coaster in the SE.
