    PLEASE NOTE OUR ON TRACK SCHEDULE:

    Saturday: 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm (ie: normal)

    Sunday: 9am-10am, 12pm-6pm (ie: not normal)

    This is to accommodate quiet time on Sunday.

    Tech and Registration open 7am Saturday and Sunday morning, and close at 8:20am for the rider's meeting. They will re-open after the rider's meeting.

    If you are riding both days, you only need to register and tech once - on Saturday.

    Novice riders and JDSA riders:

    We will have an area of the paddock coned off for you, close to the footbridge across the front straight, as you will be going to the classrooms which are located in the outer paddock.

    Saturday night we'll have MotoGP qualifying on the big screen!

    Gates will open at approx 6pm on Friday and stay open till 10pm, re-open Saturday 7am until 10pm, and open again 7am Sunday.

    We ride R*** or shine, come prepared.

    There is a $5.00 gate fee per day for anyone entering 16 years of age or older at all Sportbike Track Time events. BRING SOME CASH WITH YOU.

    Camping is allowed and I don't think they charge for it.

    We are using the "new" turn twelve and the chicane at turn two-three.

    We are using the "new" (inside) pit area.

    There is very little 30 or 50 amp power in Road Atlanta's pits. If you have a generator, bring it.

    Tire service will be open from 6-9pm Friday, all day Saturday, 7am-3pm Sunday.

    We bring over 100 tires to each event at killer prices, if you need tires, wait till you get there.

    We also have lap timers, back protectors and gloves with us at great prices.

    Gas is available at the track, its race gas and pricey, there is a jiffy mart thingy about 2 miles from the track.

    Showers are available.

    Kenny from Superbike Suspension will be on site suspension service.

    Pets are allowed but MUST be on a leash at all times. Please "clean up" after your pets.

    Any questions?, post up here please.

    Yes, literally walking. 2.54 miles of actual exercise :) No motorized vehicles are allowed on the track outside of the normal on track hours. It will not be a brisk walk, more of a stroll :)

    I'm in for the trackwalk, especially since I've never seen it before and am riding with Jason on Saturday

    Hey, quick question. Will your suspension guy have springs, or is he just there to help set up stock suspensions? I have a stock '08 600RR but I think I probably need a stiffer rear spring, and need to know if I should get one from a shop or if I can get one at the track.

    Additional note:

    Road Atlanta's gourmet lunch counter will not be open this weekend - so we are on our own for food.

    Kenny always brings a few tubs of springs with him... he should have what you need.

    Probably around 230-235 with gear. Would that be an appropriate spring? I don't know much about them. What are you asking for it?

    2010 WERA GNF I had an electrical problem (aka ran out of gas :pound:) coming into T7 in the first practice session and pushed my bike all the way through the grass to the opening about halfway down.

    I didn't realize how ling that straight was till I was wearing my suit, pushing my bike.
