Atlanta... HELP for Autocross locations..
I know I should have this on the Autocross Thread, but there is no traffic on it....
We have just been informed that we've lost our usual Autocross Location for the PCA club in Atlanta. If anyone has a lead on a location in Atlanta, and/or contacts we can approach PLEASE Post or PM me.
This was a last minute decision by Gwinnett County due to noise complaints..
Thanks

We're checking that but it may be out of our Budget and/or require us to allow non PCA members in to swing the cost. Or up our cost. If you've done one of ours you know with only 50-60 people we can make it a 1/2 day event and have everyone get 6 runs. It's nice compaired to the 180 people @ SCCA.

Contact Farnbacher Loles new race shop in Braselton, tell them Greg said they should pay the difference to get Turner Field location. I'm sure they will do it to support local PCA chapter.

That site has been in jeopardy for the last several years. It was only a matter of time. I would check w/SCCA. They will surely find a new location.
That is also Road Atlanta's future as well. Not 'if' but 'when'.

Or maybe switch to a Toyota Prius
I've already ubtained the list of all SCCA Autocross locations, contacts, for solo events across the country. Actually I was surprised they freely sent me all that information on a spreadsheet, based on a phone call and a couple emails.
I'm going to find out the $$$$ for Turner Field.
Thanks for your help & feel free to keep the suggestions coming.

Why not use the Georgia Tech football field?
They are not using it for football, but there might be noise complaints...
...several dozen Porsches autocrossing might make more noise than the GA Tech fans make during a ballgame.

+2 on keeping it 50-60 p-cars with 6 runs. I can't stand SCCA Auto-X events...too crowded...Lakewood would be a great venue.
As a last resort, if we had to partner with someone to use Turner's lots, perhaps the Audi, BMW, or Mini club would be interested?? BMW is in the same situation, as they also use Gwinnett.
Also, check with Atlanta Motor Speed-Way. I know that the SCCA uses their parking lots a few times during the year-(sometimes even in the night)....
Little selfish request-How bout a day over at Talladega Gran Prix? Only about a 1.5 hr drive from Atlanta....switch it up a little? Maybe due a joint day with AL Region if the cost is too high...I would pay more than the typical rate for PCA AutoX to run that course. Not having Gwinnett could be a good thing...opens to the door to new options and different courses. I am sure a dynamic schedule would be a hit with the members.

I agree with you.. Were looking at all options, one of which is Turner Field with BMW.

Forsyth County Fair Grounds? I Think it has a large parking lot across the street from the fair grounds. They also have the midget racing complex on the site so there may be some precedence in the deal. I'd bet that a few peachstater's who live in the county know the right people to contact. My neighbor is one of the county commissioners and he is a pretty good dude.
