1970, thats was the first runoffs at Road Atlanta, the year the track opened. The Mitty puts on a premium race, but alot of time not much small bore stuff, this will change that. Lots of cool stuff going on in the infield as well, MOSS/CMS has the pub in the infield, and they have live music, and free beer, always a hit with folks. Then the socials for the drivers and crew in the paddock are first class as well, no need to go eat elsewhere. Hopefully that will have a area for us all to pit in, I like the pro pits across the track, that where they had us in 2005 for the MGVR race. Road Atalnta is a amazing track the evelation going down the the esses toward T5 and then going down the hill toward S/F and T12 are a few of the real gut check corners left in American road racing. I'm not a big fan of the new 10A and 10B over the old dip, they are brake eaters, but a good passing zone.
This race should attract all the heavy hitters, for MGs, I'm sure we will see Butch, Kent, Harry, Charlie and some more that are slipping my mind right now. Kas being there is cool. It will be real cool to just be there racing. I've still got alot of cobwebs to knock loose, I expect I'll run pretty good, but be the hot dog, nah. I plan on testing the car on Nov. 12th, then doing the VDCA finale. I'm going to do the VIR VDCA event next year earlier in that month before Road Atanta next, so hopefully things go well there and the car behaves so the RA race prep is not too much.
