GNF Spectator Question

Hi all,

It seems I'm going to be in Atlanta this weekend visiting the in-laws. I'm trying to get a few members of the family to come to Rd. Atl with me to watch some racing and wondered if anyone knew what the costs were for spectators? Just a gate fee per car? per person?

(Sorry if I should have known this, I couldn't seem to find any info on the matter..)

Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone racing! Stay safe.

 

$15 for Sunday per person right?

 

Careful, this is how I ended up racing. Used to come to Road Atlanta to watch the AMA, on one trip someone mentioned there was a lot more racing to be seen on a WERA weekend. Started coming to watch WERA and next thing you know I'm racing.

<edit> Welcome, by the way. Hope you enjoy the racing!

 

found the spectator pricing after looking for about 20 minutes.. it was on road atlanta's website:

http://www.roadatlanta.com/event_detail.lasso?-Token.eventfile=ev_wera_gnf.lasso&-Token.id=11

looks like sunday only is $20. I may come out with a couple of neighbors and kids. anyone know if they are going to charge admission for a couple of 3-5 year old kids?

 

@kkesler: I've been to a WERA and AMA round at VIR, tons of fun!

Racing is the goal, hopefully sooner rather than later, I've already been bitten

@some guy #2: Thanks for the info, I don't personally care but I gotta talk a few non-race fan family members into going and cost is the first question >.<

Thanks!

/edit Ok thanks guys for the price info^^ kids free, woot! My 2yr old seems to like motorcycles thus far, shoud be cool for her to see a bunch all at once

 

I think its cheaper if you're not a spectator right? signing in as 'crew' I think is cheaper.

And while we are on the subject, it looks like on their website, riders/crews pay no more than $30, correct?

 

There's no Saturday only ticket for $20? That sux... may not be able to go then.

 

Too bad they don't use the wrist band for return entry.

Does anyone know of any local dealers or shops that are offering discounted tickets? Trying to find a way to save that extra $20 so we can go.

Oh, and good luck to all the racers!!!!!

"I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw...

Buncha free loadin' bastards ruinin' it for the rest of us upstandin' folks!

 

Next you will be playing PB for somebody, then shopping for a bike "just for track days", then gridding up.

Bring the kid(s) and come hang with us. :up:

 

@ kkesler: Done the PB thing, have a bike, done track days, there's only the gridding up part left to do!:up:

For this weekend though, watching will have to suffice, and hopefully it'll give wifey and the in-laws a better understanding of how awesome racing is!

Thanks again!

 

Bring them down to the paddock and meet some people because here is the secret. The racing will draw you in, the people will make you stay.

 

I tell you what, buy a Saturday ticket, and WERA will throw Sunday in for free. You're going to want to come back and watch more races anyway so it's a bargain.

 

@stickboy274: If this wasn't a "family trip," I'd be there both days. My wife said "let's visit my parents Oct. 29 weekend," I'm like ohh thats GNF!? sweet, sure honey! I'll be lucky to get half a day Sunday at the races, but it should be great!

 

I understand that. Mine are planning on coming to hang out for the trick or treating Sat. night in the pits.

 

I forgot about that, is that welcome to anyone? If so, what time is that occurring and are kids dressing up and such? Something like this might be the extra incentive I need to get wifey to want to join in with the little ones...
