Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) is a road course designed by famed Formula One architects, Hermann Tilke. AMP is the the first green, sustainable motorsports facility and country club of its kind. Instead of the typical country club with a golf course at its center, at AMPs heart is a 2-mile road course with elevation changes, technical course layout, high speed straights and two ‘signature’ corners designed to pay homage to famed European race courses;
Belgium’s Spa-Francochamps and the iconic ‘Carousel’ from Germany’s Nurburgring. Incorporating these most famous and exciting of all of F1 Tracks only hints at the lengths AMP has gone to in creating this world-class facility. Among other aspects to broaden the family and country club appeal is a world class kart and autocross track, clubhouse, restaurants, private garages, and swimming pool.

"No suing no one for no reason for nothing no how no way! Real Contact exotic car racing is Dangerous and only you are responsible for you, so protect yourself at all times".

Or something like that.:)

There is one of those here in the DFW metroplex that a number of my friends are/were members of. It is not a cheap hobby, but it couldn't be much more fun without being illegal. As a guest I could ride along for free, or drive a personal vehicle for about $25 per 30 minute session.

If I had funds in the "hard to spend this all if I wanted to" range I would definitely join AMP, which is one of the more beautiful tracks out there.

That place looks awesome. I actually drove by the racetrack I used to go to last night. Funny thing: I wasn't nostalgic in the least. I guess the building and riding of bikes has supplanted that more me. Far more rewarding for the money IMHO.

Beginning with the title, this thread was off to a strong, hard start, but I'd say that now it's just limping along.
