Been a little while since the last track outing, but am currently exploring a day at Road Atlanta (would be on a Monday), looking at mid-May, for AMG and Mercedes-Benz cars.

Need a little over 3 dozen to make this viable, due to the significant cost of renting this track. Cost would be around $500pp. We would have the track for the WHOLE DAY and you'd get as much track time as you could stand.

Any interest??

Uh, let me know when you decide to let some other makes come and play.

 

Will do, thanks.

 

Not enough interest....
Sad news to report my friends. It looks like our ambitious goals of securing Road Atlanta, as a private event, will be placed on the back burner for now. Thank you for the interest! Another consideration being examined is to move the event later in the year (fall), possibly with some support events over a weekend in the Atlanta area - with more lead time - we may be able to secure the track with a commitment of greater than 40.

 

Unfortunate. The prospect of a private low car count day at Road Atlanta is very exciting.

I am sure this has already been pointed out or at least considered independently, but that is an awfully narrow focus for pulling together a short notice private track day. Perhaps a little less self imposed exclusivity next time will lead to a different result.

Agreed, they could have had 40,50 or even 60 people by tomorrow by opening up to other makes and as I mentioned before, just cram everyone else into a group or 2 and put all the benzes into whatever group they want.

 

Thanks again for the feedback. I'm certain our experience will be taken into consideration when the next attempt is made.

 

Cool. I'll keep my eyes open for it. Good luck.

Good point Dez... No wonder the turnout wasn't better. Open it up to other makes and you can add me to the list as well..

 

You need to invite of brands....there is not way near enough Benz track guys out there for you to acomplish just a Benz track day. Sorry.
