Yeah I will be going. I have been for the past 5 years and at least for the next 5 also. I have to work Friday and that Sat. but I will be there bright and early Sunday. If the weather is nice I will be riding there. What part of ATL do you live? Me and some friends will be heading out together from Marietta. Send me an email if you or anyone is interested. I cant wait to smell that race gas. :D

As far as motorcycle parking you have had to pay in the past but they changed it for this year, it is free. At least is says so on the flyers. You might want to try their site at www.roadatlanta.com to see if it is for General Admission or what. I am not sure but even if you do have to pay it is well worth it. On a bike you can easily ride around to the different places to watch the races. If you have never been to a race in person you have to go. Especially if you live as close as you do.

Yeah, I will be going almost all weekend. I am gonna do the parade lap (extra $10). But I think it is worth it. You get to actually have a small idea as to what the track is like. 1tyson, Spin, Mellonhead, and Bryantbigbear, it would be cool to link up if you guys go. I am ordering my tickets today. I hope the weather is good. I will definately ride up there if it is not raining. Let me know. I will be checking the forum in the meantime to see if you guys wanna link up. :rock :jump :thumbup

CBRKLR- I am all for meeting you guys here on the forum. Be cool to put some faces to the names. I took Friday off so planned on riding up all 3 days. Just let me know. I am in Athens so I would normally take a diffrent route to get there then the way you would come, but have no problems meeting up somewhere with anybody. Just let me know.

The One - What days will you be there. I am heading up to the track on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so if you are there on Friday maybe we can get a few street miles in before heading to the track.
