Default Update with Video--Visit to Atlanta Motorsport Park Today!!!!

Can't wait for the Chin Motorsport event at AMP at the end of April. Took the 4.0 out to AMP today for some laps. That track is going to be awesome once they have it finished. The elevation changes alone are worth the visit there. The long carousel leading onto the run onto the front straight is going to fast and one of the most exciting section of track in the US. What is going to be awesome about this track is it combines a lot of technical sections where you have to be patient and tidy with fast sections so you still get a great feel the sensation of speed!

With the elevation changes and fast sweeping turns you Florida guys aren't going to know what to do. Jenks is going to make everyone on the cheater tires look slow. ;-)

Here is a little screen shot from some in-car footage we shot today. Look for my YouTube link to video later on tonight!

I don't see elevation, there are just high grip and low grip corners!

Thanks for posting, can't wait to drive it :-)

Seth, That looks insane! You must have the first hot lap recorded there, hence, the lap record. Congrats. Allan

I have a good feeling it will be ready. The landscaping around the track won't take long to get ready. Waiting on the final layer of asphalt and some small areas of curbing to be finished. Won't take long to complete at all. I think the Chin Event will be all set to be the first group on the track!
