<p><strong>Event Details and Rules</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.atlantamotorsportspark.net/" target="_blank">Atlanta Motorsports Park</a> (AMP) is a brand new, state-of-the-art road course designed by famed Formula One architects, Hermann Tilke. AMP is 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 Nürburgring.</p>
<p>AMP is subject to strict sound limits. The noise restriction is 98dB. Cars with OEM exhaust should be in compliance. Track cars with open exhaust/straight pipes will likely not be in compliance.</p>
<p>Any car within reason may participate, however, convertibles must observe the following rules:</p>

<p>There will be a thorough tech inspection before cars are approved to go on track. We expect drivers to recognize that putting a car on track that has safety issues or mechanical issues not only endangers the driver, but all other drivers on track with them. Therefore, we reserve the right to not allow any car on track that doesn&#8217;t pass tech inspection.</p>
<p>The cost for one day is $279, both days is $499.</p>
<p>We will run the event using 3 run groups; green group for novice drivers, blue for intermediate drivers with between 3 and 10 track events, and red is for advanced drivers and instructors. Classroom instruction will be provided and is mandatory for green and blue group drivers. In-car instructors are also provided for all green group drivers.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-163" title="www_vertical" src="http://tracksunlimited.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/www_vertical1.png" alt="" width="225" height="325" />We provide, at a minimum, four 25 minute on-track sessions per day plus a two hour session at the end of the day we call &#8220;unlimited hour&#8221;. This will be an open session to all drivers with blue passing rules.</p>
<p>We will be requiring point by&#8217;s for passing in all run groups, however passing zones will be less restrictive in the higher groups. For novice drivers, all passing must be accomplished in designated passing zones. Passengers will be permitted in the cars of instructors and advanced drivers.</p>
<p>If time permits, we will try to provide a 15 minute session of parade laps immediately after lunch. This is where anyone can drive their car on the track following a pace car with no passing. It is a great way to let someone get a little of the feel for driving on a real race track.</p>
<p>We are recruiting instructors and workers for the weekend. Instructors get to participate in the weekend for no cost, and drive in the red group sessions. Workers who work during the weekend get $100 credit toward future events for each day they work. A worker who satisfactorily works both days at 2 weekend events for Tracks Unlimited, can attend an event for free in the future.</p>
<p>The track provides an Ambulance and paramedics, and a safety vehicle with 2 personnel.</p>
