I went to Track Night in America this past Tuesday at Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP). The event was well run, and AMP is a fun, technical track. They had three run groups divided by experience level. I ran in the advanced group and had a great time. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a taste of race track fun. There is another event in early August. For anyone interested, Randy Pobst does a great turn by turn guide to AMP on YouTube. Just search on "Atlanta Motorsports Park Turn 1". (Turns 1 - 16)

Yes,
The pdx's are a great program. Go to every one I can. Track night is a new program offered by our parent organization, the scca. Cost is similar and time slot is much more convenient.
Check it out at scca.com.

I was reading about this in the magazine I received and was wondering what the chances are of attracting this to Charlotte or VIR? I got really excited about the program and then figured out that Atlanta was the closest one to us.
One of the issues I personally may experience is the fact I am driving a convertible (94 Mustang GT) and not sure when the rules for roll bar will start to kick in.

Quoted from the rules: Are Convertibles Allowed? Yes, but with a few caveats. If your convertible is actually a Targa or T-Top, no problem. If it is a true convertible, either factory provided rollover protection or at a minimum, a 4 point roll bar is required. Factory rollover protection can include a hardtop, pop-up rollbars or a reinforced a-pillar. If you opt to add a 4 point rollbar to your vehicle, we highly recommend one that is SCCA approved.

Unfortunately the rules don't apply apples to apples at VIR. Unlike other venues in the area they require a roll bar for all convertibles regardless of factory roll over protection.

TNIA has to conform to the rules of the particular track they are running on. Many require a roll bar for convertibles regardless of factory roll over protection..
