Anyone feel like running the 6 Hours of Atlanta with us? We have room for 1. It’s $1250 for the team and I will check to see if I can get us the frequent flyer discount.
You don’t need to be Senna to join us. If you are more of a Mazepin developmentally, that’s ok too. We will be in Pro category because it is defined as 3+ years of racing experience.

Link says Virginia but takes you to Atlanta race info
I’ll actually be moving down to the Atlanta area in about a week so this would actually be pretty convenient for me to run. If nobody else wants to make the trip I’d be willing to take the 3rd spot if you need it. I have some other karting weekends lined up earlier in October so I don’t want to take a spot from anyone else who might want to give it a go.
You are most welcome to Join!!! Team thus far is me, my son, Tanguy. You would be number 4. If you want to do it, lmk. We have bought tickets and hotel so it’s definite.
Since you will be local, you won’t have to deal with renting car etc so should be easier for you. Let me know if you arrive at 100% yes.
I already put deposit down for team.
Great news: This gives me an excuse to fire back up KK and obsess over amp for a month!
With 4 of us that’s 15 stops and 4 sessions each, about 23 mins per session. It’s a full day but very doable, not too strenuous.
These karts are not the AMP rentals, any idea how this differs from a regular AMP rental enduro? Very interesting! I’m talking with my sim/F1 group chat bros about fielding a team.
I’ll for sure run it! For now I’ll plan on running with your team as the #4 guy, Dom. I’d also be happy to move around if someone else here needs a body to round out a 2nd team, as long as you guys are still good running with 3. Either way I’ll be there!
So digging into the details, I am not sure I would be able to compete. According to their website, they limit drivers to 6’6". I am 6’9". I sent an email to Chris inquiring about the karts adjustability with respect to the seat and pedals. I have driven concession karts before and been able to manage with my knees at my knuckles on the steering wheel, but both the Sodi (DKC) and the Birel (VIR) rentals had some decent adjustability to them. The worst was at F1 Indoor in Boston. The pedals were fixed, the seat was all the way back and I was still folded up like and accordion. Even in those, I still threw the kart around like it was on fire getting close to some the daily bests. It was funny about 4 laps into the session the attendant flagged me in to make sure I was adjusted correctly. He checked the seat, took a double take at me and just said F’it, Send It!
Thank you! Awesome! We already booked our tix, hotel and rental car. Got the last two rooms at the nearby Holiday Inn! Plenty of other hotels a town or two away. Must be way out in the sticks. Woot!
