Default Road Atlanta dates?

Anybody have a list of weekend DE events at RA for 2010? Haven't been there yet and would like to get something on my cal for this year.

Peachstate PCA has yet to post their 2010 schedule. They usually have 4 events during the year. Keep an eye here>

Chin has an event in June and then again in November>

I am on the Peachstate PCA Track Committee. This is written in stone as of today:
Club Race - March 26-28 Registration opens Feb 8 for Club Race
DE's -June 5-6, August 14-15 and October 23-24

We will only have 3 DE's this year as we lost April to Skip Barber

Skip Barber, ugh. Killed off the Panoz track days, now killing the PCA ones too. No PCA DE till June.......


Luckily Chin and MVP are mainstays here now, so they can make up some of the slack. But they only get 2 day events in Nov.

Steve,
I thought we (PCA) had Apr 24/25 nailed down and were negotiating a June date. Sorry to see it go before it came.

Cool! At least now I have some dates to play with. I don't look at BMWCCA events to much anymore, because I've run into a few that are just, who shall I say, a bunch of ******. My track car is a Miata, and I get the "We don't allow convertibles" stuff, even though it's got a full cage and hardtop. Or "Your not qualified to instruct with us" even though I've instructed with the PCA & Chin at the track for 3-yrs. Any-who..., looks like I might be able to find something that fits into the schedule.

How's the weather & temp at RA that time of year? VIR can be hit or miss. Didn't it snow the beginning of March last year?

Heart of Dixie has allowed caged miatas to run in the past, we have another event at Barber Memorial day weekend.

Crap! Just remembered our legislature has a long session this year, so I can't make that one anyway.
