Default Peachstate Road Atlanta Club Race
50+ entries in the first 10 minutes! Not bad.

I am hoping it does. Last year was very wet. Racing this year so dry is preferable.

Yes, the Sunday morning enduro was SO much fun in 42 degree driving rain. I remember it well...

The pavement change between the old pavement and the new patches is something to consider and adapt to. Especially Turn 1... Considering the relative grip level changes AFTER turn-in...

2 years ago we had beautiful weather. Prior to that, well.....????? It was????? Hum? Elephants can't remember that far back.

3-4 weeks later in the year the weather is usually spectacular. Too bad they can't get an end of April date.
