I can be at AMP in 10 minutes. They rent karts to the public that go 55 mph. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, but they have been at it for a few years now, and I haven’t even heard of a single person getting hurt yet. I have a friend who works there, doing setup on the carts to your liking. The entire venue is absolutely world class. We go over ever so often and check out the exotics...lambos, Ferrari’s, etc, that people bring to drive on the track. Karts have their own track obviously. I have another friend who owns a local shop that specializes in building Porsche track cars, and he hates the place because it’s a counter-clockwise track, and most other road courses are clockwise. I asked him why, and he griped about having to change his front end settings on his clients cars, to go to AMP, from Road Atlanta, or other venues. I shook my head and said “first world problems for sure”.
Our city hall here in Dawsonville is the Georgia Racing Hall Of Fame, and has a Race museum that’s actually pretty cool. There’s also a working moonshine still in the building and they even sell Bill Elliott branded shine in there.
