Road atlanta

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

I just realized how bad i want to just drive my car on the track, i could care less to drift it (which i would love to) on the horse shoe. I would want to be able to push my car and see how far my coilovers can go.

so does anyone know what R.A policys are getting local cars on the track, not to race, but yes to go fast. how much would i have to pay.
and who would i talk to.

[Cameron.]

NASA HPDE. look into it. its not cheap though

[Banzai]

whatever it is, its not cheap at all!!

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

like if your with nasa, could you get on the track when ever you wanted???

thats what i was thinking =[[[[

[J Squared]

What coilovers do you have?

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

What coilovers do you have?

dont know the exact type,
but they are tein's
fully adjustable too.
along with aftermarket control arms.

[Cameron.]

driftings cheap lol. (at a grassroots level)

[vqdreaming]

no, nasa is like scca they just set up "races" if you wanna call them that so you can drive the track.

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

no, nasa is like scca they just set up "races" if you wanna call them that so you can drive the track.

how much is that,
is it jjust the membership with nasa, and do you call r.a or call nasa to set up track days.

[maxed1]

driftings cheap lol. (at a grassroots level)
I have to disagree

[Banzai]

driftings cheap lol. (at a grassroots level)

no shit. compared to other forms or racing. But now that we need cages and shit to tandem its not cheap. I hate that word grassroots hahaha

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

I have to disagree
haha me too.

[~The_Duke~]

Just google NASA and look up membership stuff...

Johnny you need to go to an auto x.

[maxed1]

Whoever say's it cheap at grassroots never has drifted at grassroots level

[afwfjustin]

Try to find a group that rents out the track and join in. My S2KAtlanta club does track events often at different tracks and it's usually around 1-2 hundred for registration.

[Cameron.]

Whoever say's it cheap at grassroots never has drifted at grassroots level

seriously? 80 dollars an event is cheap. and yes, i have drifted with SED. maybe i should have said SED, because grassroots is a broad area, and not all grassroots is cheap..

[maxed1]

What about everything it takes to get ready to go to an event

[Cameron.]

thats all upon yourself on how much you spend on "getting ready". for some people its just the 80 dollars and some busted ass SE's with shitty tread.

[J Squared]

When you consider the amount of seat time you get for the price you pay, local drift events are hard to beat.

[Cameron.]

true that.

[maxed1]

Love the local events

[Cameron.]

But johnny, for your first event with NASA its about 400 dollars to cover everything event related. License, Instructor, Insurance, and Track rental. and that doesnt count the price you have to pay for your tires/brakes/accessories/etc. so expect to pay alot for NASA events.

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

Just google NASA and look up membership stuff...

Johnny you need to go to an auto x.

yea i will.

and ive been wanting to go to an auto x for quite somtime now.

how often does nasa have there events at r.a.

and will i have an instructor every time??

how much does it cost to rent the track.

and do you guys rent r.a.

[Cameron.]

only until the instructor thinks your ready to move on. which typically is about 2-3 events and its not only at RA, they hold them all around. local for us would be CMP, Roebling, and of course RA.

oh yea, dont quote me on the price, that is just a price i was told by one of my sources, it could have changed. but its in the ballpark.

[~The_Duke~]

Johnny, your only problem is that I dont think your 240 will pass tech... lol

[Shane]

I think they used to autocross events at the fairground off sugarloaf parkway. I haven't been in that area in years so im not sure if they still do them tho.

[Cameron.]

Really what hikes the price up is having to purchase your license for your first event, but after that events are around 300 dollars

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

Johnny, your only problem is that I dont think your 240 will pass tech... lol

haha, yea i dont think it will either,
like i said working on gettin an sr, once that is done, i belive little things here and there, it will be good to go.

so (around the ball park) 300 dollars to get into an event with nasa??

[Cameron.]

honestly i dont know, and i could be completely wrong with my figuring, i was just passing info i got from a friend down the line.

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

[afwfjustin]

how much does it cost to rent the track.

and do you guys rent r.a.I'm not sure - a lot though. Usually a couple clubs will go in on the price. We've done Road Atlanta before, as well as Roebling Road and several others. I know the wrxatlanta club is active in road racing, as well as the Miata guys. I'd suggest trying to find a club that is active in doing track days and trying to get in on them. You need to make sure your car is TIP TOP for this kind of thing. You need upgraded brake pads and fluid at the least, and make sure there are no issues or leaks or overheating from your car. You also need an approved helmet.

Road racing is more stressful on your car and more dangerous than autocross or drifting because of the high speeds.

If you're really serious about it, I can try and get some people here that'd be interested in doing this together and maybe try to go in on a track event with the s2k guys, or maybe we could find some people on importatlanta that has a day setup somewhere.

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

http://www.mvptracktime.com/id1.html

omg that is awsome, ive gotten on nasa, and found some hdpe things or whatever it is, and its not to expensive.

Johnny, when I am over there helping you with your SR I will take a look at the other systems in the car... Cas I am going to guess that thing needs some SERIOUS elbow grease and cleaning to make sure the brakes, cooling, and clutch is good to go.

[Buccaneer_9]

I used to go back in the day.

I'd go with one day at first. 8a-5p is A LOT of seat time...two days of that will WEAR YOU OUT.

Have fun.

It's also free to just go and watch...lots of BAD ASS cars usually come out. There's an NSX club out of N.C. that used to come out and represent. Very nice rides indeed.

95% of the stuff that prolly needs done isnt hard, it is just VERY time consuming.

Start tracking down some Z32 brakes.

is that the sammee....as zx brakes, ive been confused on brakes.
lol.

and yes you are right,
and time time time,
summer summer summer lol.

[afwfjustin]

That mvp site looks pretty cool. There's one in November this year!

Yeah the z32 brakes are the 300zx brakes. z32 is the chassis code just like s13 is the chassis code for your car. Hawk/Cobalt are some good brake pads to look into, as well as some DOT4/5 brake fluid. I recommend ATE Super Blue which is DOT4 and will work great for street and track.

I might be able to spare a can of the super blue for $15-20 if you're interested.

[~The_Duke~]

Z32 brakes are 4 piston ones with larger rotors, but I believe you will need to do a 5 lug swap so that you dont have to mod your rotors everytime you need new ones.

yea i think i will just do a 5 lug swap in the front and just upgrade the rear.

and after i get the sr swap, then i will start going big on brakes and stuff right now i just want it running, save money then like i said during the summer,

its on like donkey kong.

You arent old enough quite yet for me to hook you up with a job here, plus there arent any open right now.

You can drill the rotors for 4 lug. That's how mine are :)

wouldnt you say??

[~The_Duke~]

oh dude, that would be sick.

They do. They are ~12" ones I think? Which is a pretty big fucking rotor...

You just have to make sure you got good fluid and pads on there to so that you dont have brake fade. I am not sure if you have experienced that on the mountain yet or not, but it can be VERY scary.

i have once, and it was slightly...

and yea i know, i'll have to upgrade my fluid and get really good pads too lol.

and thats why i want to do auto x
so i could start to get good with my sr, and freaking keep up haha.

The autox will help improve your lines and let you know where you limit is in a safe place. It will also help you get your susp. setup right.

When I go out to autox next time feel free to tag along, I got a 4 door :goodjob:

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

but i want shotgun
haha,
dude if you know anyone in your neighboorhood that needs work down, yard work or anything, im the man and you have my number,
blow leaves, mow lawns. weedeat haha.

and yes i would like to tag along, and i would like to learn my limits too.

There are already a handful of kids and companies that do the lawn work in my neighborhood... lol

My GF has shotgun for atleast some of the time, but I am sure if you asked really nice you could get shotgun for alil bit. Plus you can walk around and ask others if you can ride along to. Best way to learn is ride alongs.

Learning susp. setups is really easy. Adjust it, then drive it with a stop watch. Then make it feel better, then time it again. Which ever one is fastest and feels best to you is your susp. setup.

[Michael]

how much does it cost to rent the track.

and do you guys rent r.a.

road atlanta is 1500 dollars per hour.

harsh marty, but you lay it out straight and to the point.
I agree 100%. start with auto-x. i bet once you start that, any car controll that you thought you had, you dont. learn your limits and your car. test different seating positions, tire pressure, etc. just test and feel out everything so youll know exactly whats out of wack if something ever is.
got to start somewhere to get somewhere. i started doing autox a long time ago. i have personally been on roadatl. its fun, but deffinatly would have been a ricer out there if i never did my autoxing and didnt learn my stuff.
good luck!

[down_shift]

Martys right. Start somewhere else thats more forgiving. iirc most of the RA club level practice events are going to cost you $4-450 for a weekend plus car setup (tires and pads).

If you do other things now like autocross you won't need to ask how to get into HPDE's..

Anybody can ask stuff for "the future" all day long on the internet. You only learn by DOING.

[Tristan Smith]

Some advice, take it or leave it. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but.......

I recommend to anyone who wants to do this type of thing to get some basic instruction first. Autocrossing is good but not always applicable to road racing. So pony up a couple of grand and do a racing school. Now you are probably saying "WTF, I don't have that kind of money!" But then again how much money do you have to buy a new car if you crash at Road Atlanta?

And Road Atlanta is a very fast, technical, unforgiving track. We call it the concrete canyon because there are few, real, run off areas, and usually if you put a wheel wrong, you will be in the barriers. Ask me how I know.

And I may not be the best driver out there, but I have been racing at Rd Atl. for 18 years. And I would not recommend it for the first track event either.

Now let’s say you say, "ah man, that old dude doesn’t know wtf he's talking about". Ok, then the next thing you need to think about is your car. If you are going to do anything high speed you will at a minimum need to "nut and bolt" your car. That means going over every nut and bolt and making sure everything is tight and properly torqued. You would be surprised what a beating a car gets when it's tracked. A loose (you name it here) can really ruin your day as you rocket towards the inside wall cause you forget to check it.


NASA and SCCA both offer high speed track events, as well as many clubs. All will have slightly different safety requirements. So you'll need to make sure you have all the safety equipment required. Most will want you to have a helmet. Get a good one. What's your skull worth? Buy appropriately. I would not do an event and not wear one, and I would be a bit nervous not to have at least a five belt harness. That's just me. Of course I have flipped a car spinning through the esses at RD. ATL, so maybe I'm biased.

Take it slow at first. Go autocrossing. See if you really like it. If after a few events you still have to get on track, go to Little Talladega or Carolina Motorsports Park for your first track events, where there are plenty of runoff areas.

And remember the first rule of motor sports. If you can't afford to crash it and write it off, then you should reconsider being out there.

Now, after saying all that, I am not trying to discourage anyone's interest in racing on any level, but there's more to it all then just enthusiasm.

Again, take it for what's worth.

[Cameron.]

^excellent post mr. smith.

[Thomas]

I can sometimes get on the track for free in the fall. I actually havent had my car running the times I was there but a couple of my friends have. Hopefully I will get to drive it this year.

[bradystrib]

Uhm, i would be scared to see you run road atlanta. Go to some auto crosses...get familiar with your car, then find someone doing track days at smaller simpler tracks like Little Talladega, that is an excellent track for beginners. It was my first track day experience. Uhm, and yeah z32 brakes will be wonderful on RA. I don't know personally but Erin (ls1 s13) said zbrake held up fine doing 180 and braking HARD into turn 10. So i trust his opinion over pretty much anyone that activley posts here...but yeah...

Well said. I work for RA. There is one way to get on the track for a track day without a license (besides random sport car club events like PCA, BMW, etc.) and that is Chin Motorsports. Their link is below. Here is a tiny clip of what they say about drivers:


"We welcome ALL enthusiasts; there is no requirement to own a particular marque of car. Almost any modern street car with OEM equipment can be used. Feel free to browse our event pictures (http://chinmotorsports.com/gallery/gallery.asp) pages to see a sample of the kinds of cars that participate. Competition prepared cars are also accepted. We welcome all drivers 18 and older, with a valid state drivers license. A licensed driver 16 or 17 years old may participate with a parent's waiver and supervision.
The default classification for all new members is novice. Drivers with existing track experience are asked to email a summary of track history so that you may be re-classified, if appropriate. In most cases, we recognize qualifications from well known car clubs, SCCA, NASA, etc... Please provide references and/or competition license numbers, if applicable. If you do not inform us of relevant experience, you will be classified as a novice driver, and will be required to have an instructor assigned."

Make sure the SR can handle the back straight. You don't want to be the guy responsible for shutting shit down because you unleash a torrent of oil and coolant on the track. Everything else has been said I think.

Never heard "concrete canyon" before. I like it.

[xXxJohnnyxXx]

some of you i wouldnt want to push my car to where i die, yea ive heard is not a beginners track, i would just be happy to drive on it, and push my car, but no to death.

Driver even walked away from that crash due to sexy safty equipment and a good roll cage. That is one hell of a crash though.

Yup. Too bad the camera got thrown out of the car, or the video would be even more interesting.

Nah once you learn to read the cones you will be fine, trust me dodge cones is ALOT easier than the mountain. You dont have to worry about elavation or cliffs.

The next one I am going to is going to be on the 17th of this month, assuming my car is done by then. If it isnt my GF and I can ride with you and I can co-drive with you. Not drive your car, but help you not get lost in the course, unless you wanted to let me drive your car... lol

You would be in Street mod or Street mod 2 for sure, but since you have never done it you should sign up in the novice class. That why they know you are a noob, then the guys who have been doing autox for longer than we have been alive will come over and help you.

Your motor swap, no cats, and susp. everything puts you into street mod. Plus you have ECM and all those goodies as well. If you arent in SM or SM2 you are in the same class as the STis. Because of mods you would be in ASP (A Class Street Prepared).

Since you are a noob though novice, then if you like then we can figure out where you are class wise.

Assuming my car is done, if you are to poor this month you can always come ride along. Ride alones are free, and there are plenty of cool people that wont mind if you take up their passenger seat.

They opened it up wensday, so I will have the news on what is wrong with it tomorrow I believe. From how the tranny felt to me it just needed a new syncro, but if they metal shavings or something like that in there I want a brand new tranny. As of right now they are rebuilding the tranny.

haha... I would love to see you drive your car, if I have my car that just means I can beat you. :taunt: Yup thems fighting words.:pirate:
