07gt500conv Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would be interested, but not sure they will allow a converible on the track.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGT Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would be interested, but not sure they will allow a converible on the track....Jim - I will check into the track rules for convertibles.Steve - thanks for the bump! Although I started with the idea of a Shelby/Boss day, I'm sure that any Mustang or SVT car should be welcome to participate. For those concerned about getting out on the open road course I'm pretty certain that an auto-X course could be incorporated. AMP has future plans to build a large skid pad area intended for HPDE & auto manufacturer testing which I think would be ideal for auto-X. I'll check into what the time frame is for that.

07gt500conv Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Tim, That would be great to know if a convertible can be on the track. I have talked with fellow Shelby convertible people and they had been told in the past that a convertible without a roll bar is not allowed.

nshttpd Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'd be down for this. We'll never race up there on the motorcycles, but I'd take the Shelby out for a day up there. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Is there an airport close by ? Ya never know Tim :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGJ Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Albino, there is a good sized airport in Gainesville GA about 20 min away...just on the other side of Lake Lanier. We have a lake house on the AMP side of the lake. On of my best friends used to fly for ExecJet and would land a Lear class jet there to pick up the owners of the Falcons when the Rankin Smith family owned them to take them to the away games. Hope that helps... Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGT Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Is there an airport close by ? Ya never know Tim :shades: Hartsfield/Atlanta is a little more than an hour from the track, same with Greenville, SC. If you fly into ATL I'll pick you up!

al ellison Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would participate and encourage you to cross post this on the MS Valley section. I have already been in correspondence with Becky Powell of AMP (becky@100mphlunch.com) regarding joining the Audi Club for their HPDE on November 16th & 17th. If you are interested in that, I'll share the reply from the Audi Club when received. Please keep us posted and again, please keep the MS Valley region posted, as well. Thank you.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Depending on the date, I'd be interested! Dibs on Andy's lakehouse! B) As for convertibles - at the Track Guys HPDE in Sebring 2 years ago, they weren't allowing verts, except for parade laps!

al ellison Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Please find out if convertibles are allowed on the track. Thanks I encourage you to contact AMP directly, as it may be run group specific or only with certain types of roll-bars, etc. An email address was provided in my previous post.

AndyGJ Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Jim - Good thing I'll have a head start! Sam Jim, I hate to tell you but Sam's invitation went out to him about 2+ years ago from me. So when he says good thing he will have a head start, he means it in more than one way!! LOL! I'll be interested to see if we can get enough participation to make it a private even so we can request that the verts be allowed....I would do it as long as we all behave and agree to standard passing rules, etc. I don't ever plan to have an off pavement experience in my SGT!

AndyGJ Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 No problems Andy, I was just messing with Sam.... I will see if we have space and access to the house when a date is nailed down. My Dad actually is the owner but he is very generous to letting us use the house in the off season especially. I'll keep you posted. Andy.

al ellison Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 The Audi Club has an event that we can join on November 16th & 17th. Total net cost for the two days is $459 (includes a 1 year membership to the audi club - they state it is required for their track event insurance). Still, this is a very fair price for two days of track time with instruction. Please post if you are seriously interested in participating. 1st - join the Audi club (I don't have an Audi and will only join the club for this event); it's $49: http://www.audiclubna.org/forms/acna-join.php 2nd - the registration site: https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/AF20A55F-BD16-DFD4-043FE8DC2B667E75#.UharE-sT7uN Registration will show up as $440, to save $30 use coupon code: AlEllison Your net fee is the sum of $49 + 410, or $459. All other registration requirments are listed on the registration site. If you have a convertible, please contact Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) and resolve your concerns directly.
