I also just saw they put up this press release:
Driving Impressions the Company– TeamDI the Brand
By Robert Zecca
Wednesday, January 07, 2009
Driving Impressions started in 1983 and has concentrated on bringing you the
best automotive racing equipment from companies like Sparco, OMP,
Motorquality, Bieffe and Sabelt. We have decades of experience of product
development and distribution, probably more than any other company in the US
in existence today. As an importer we have learned who actually makes these
products for the larger companies.
Driving Impressions is now primarily selling its own brand called TeamDI. This is
comprised of a full lineup of Nomex gloves, socks, shoes, suits and underwear
as well as go-kart equipment and accessories. These products are of our own
development and design. Our goal is to bring to market a safety equipment line
that has the look, feel and quality of famous European brands at prices that retail
for 20-40% less. This is definitely the correct approach to today’s market
conditions.
A new strategic partner of Driving Impressions is Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP).
Driving Impressions is going to be their sole racing apparel retailer. “We feel
AMP not brings only brings a new level of enthusiasm to the motorsport industry,
but also has chosen one of the best locations in the country,” says Robert Zecca,
President of Driving Impressions.
AMP Founder, Jeremy Porter, feels this partnership is one that will benefit both
parties due to the similar culture of a high level of customer service. “Driving
Impressions has proven to be a solid company with 25 years of history, with
great success and a track record of servicing its clients very well. We feel the
partnership just makes sense.”
Steven Jaffe, Driving Impressions’ VP of Business Development adds, “I am
excited to expand our physical presence into such a strong market that Atlanta
has to offer. AMP is providing a high class facility and services that are
unmatched.”
As a way or promoting our line we have created our own racing series, the
TeamDI ProIT Series. www.proitseries.com
We’re looking forward to seeing you at the track in 2009!
Please contact Steve or Bob at 1-800-275-4667 to learn more about the TeamDI
brand and visit our website for more information on the products we offer.

I heard the zoning proposal passed. Don't know this for a fact. Just a response from someone I contacted and he said he "heard it passed". That's great news.!
Here's a link for an overview of AMP:

That would be really cool for you guys down south to get a new track. I'm pulling for you. The way I see it, the more the supply the more pressure it puts on the established tracks to provide a nicer facility and up their customer service. Take Summit Point for instance, all last summer guys had been screaming to fix the track. It was really beat up, especially in T1, T3, & T5. They did nothing to improve the track surface. Within a couple of months of Thunderbolt opening, the paving company is out grinding away and laying new pavement. I don't know if Thunderbolt opening was the only reason for BSR getting the track re-done but I'm sure somewhere it helped to influence to decision to get it done. Anyway, best of luck to you guys down south.

Contrary to current thinking in Congress, the Whitehouse and the Treasury, competition and profit and the ability to succeed (and fail) are strong motivators in capitalist society. Good for industry AND for consumers. Take that away and its a race to the bottom. Sorry- couldn't help myself.
I worry about New France, er, America I mean.

I sure hope this works out. I'm not feeling the country club membership (with tennis courts and all that jazz), I wish they'd leave that out and keep the focus on having a top notch facility. There is plenty of stuff to do in nearby Atlanta that all the extras aren't needed IMO.
I always wanted to move back to Florida where I grew up, but with all these great tracks so close I don't think I can do it.

Excellent. I'm sure they really appreciate your help. The outspoken minority worries me a bit, but I feel confident logic will win out... hopefully the council members will see the benefit this will bring to the area.
Will you be attending the PCA DE at Road Atlanta in a few weeks?
