AFAIK you don’t need an appointment, I just walked in and was there for half a day.

Not the case when I pulled up to the gate....the guard said you need an appointment or to buy a simulator or driving session. So what is the trick? I'd like to go back and look around and buy some shirts in the gift shop and eat up in the restaurant.

just make a reservation at restaurant. That will get you on the list. They are on opentable.

Hmmm, maybe I had an appointment- I don't remember, but now that you mention it I do remember a guard gate. I did Uber there so I walked in rather than park. It was a couple of years ago when I picked up my Corvette in Atlanta.

Smokies event was a lot of fun, raised $700+ K for charity and most, except two, avoided trouble.
Both cars getting shipped home, no one got hurt and all is OK.

I have a court date in GA for 93 in a 70, but oh well..

Waiting for my flight to Germany from ATL.
Hopefully the FL guys are heading for decent weather, the (my) worn out track tires aren’t ideal for big rain.

I was with the group on saturday, gt4, and pedro in his gt3, was a bad area to sit and wait, we stayed until the towing was confirmed, hope they got back ok, only had little room around that turn and both guys were in pretty good spirits despite the mishap

One thing I always worry about with this many cars and type of cars out for spirited driving is those not so good at it getting a little to close to me and hitting me. Bummer....glad everyone is ok...cars can be fixed perfectly these days it’s just the CarFax thing sucks with diminished value.

TrakCar...93 in a 70...20 over+ ....Get a really top notch lawyer. You’re what Georgia law calls a Super Speeder. Mandatory extra $200 on top of ticket and court fees and 3 points on your license. You have to pay and get the points and have 120 days to do so to Driver Services in Georgia not the court. I know been there.
