You've asked for it, well here it is.

The Import Showdown is pleased to announce our newest event. Import Showdown is doing a road course! The new Import Showdown Track Day brings all of the character of our Import Showdown drag events to Talladega Gran Prix in Talladega, AL! If you have been looking for a chance to do a road course or just want a great value to do it, this event won't be beat - our event offers lots of track time at half the price of most road course events, including many at this very track. Act fast as slots will go very quickly! This event is based primarily around open track time. No experienced is required to enjoy the open track time, assistance will be available. We will also offer time trials (against the clock) for experienced drivers ONLY. Rules regarding unsafe driving, passing limtations, and safety will be strictly enforced to ensure this is a safe and fun opportunity for any skill set in any kind of vehicle.

Talladega Gran Prix is a 1.33 mile road course just 2 hours west of Atlanta (and similar distance from Macon). The course is technically challenging and will offer a complete day of fun whether on track or watching!

As with all Import Showdown events, this event is NOT for profit and put on by volunteer members of GA DSM.

 

Ouch, you had to make it the same date as the scca Barbers event! Wish I could make it to both.

 

3 or 4 times you refer to it as racing or a race. now what is it? a HPDE track day? or a race?
be careful on how you word things. dont want people getting the wrong idea, could get messy.

 

Seriously, why is it there is nothing going on forever, especially over here in AL and then 2 great events at the track on the same day ! Even though that track is about 15min from my house I’m still going to try and make the Barber event.

 

I corrected some of the wording to better identify what we are doing here. This event is primarily open runs, with optional time trials against the clock for experienced drivers. No special license required, however, we have a variety safety rules that will be strictly enforced to ensure safety. This event will be primarily peoples personal cars, and we are taking the steps necessary so that everyone is safe.

If you have any more questions, let me know. I will definitely be checking back. Thanks for the interest.
