WHAT'S INCLUDED?
WHAT TO DO CHECKLIST
AFTER REGISTERING
- HOTELS/CAMPING
Reserve your accommodation ASAP! We have arranged discounted room blocks at Chateau Elan and Hampton Inn, but those are likely to go quickly. Camping is also available. See options.
- FIND FRIENDS
Want to form a caravan to the event with a group of friends? There will be groups forming from all over North America, including from Canada and Mexico. Check out the Supporting Clubs & Organizations page to connect with local Miata enthusiasts.
- FUN STUFF
Check out all the other things you can do (Flyin’ Miata Autocross, Parade Laps & Group Photo, Moss Miata Car Show, Moss Miata Cruise, and Saturday Halloween Costume Party) to get familiar with when, where, and how things will be happening so you don’t miss anything.
AT THE EVENT
- EARLY CHECK-IN
We strongly recommend you get checked in at Chateau Elan in the Bordeaux Room on Friday October 30, (open from 3pm to 7pm).
General Admission/Merchandise will be open all day Saturday and Sunday in Vendor Alley (Fan Zone), but checking in Friday eliminates time pressure. Your General Admission wristband also speeds up coming through the main gates at the track as you can just show security your wristband for entry without having to stop to sign event waivers each time.
- SCHEDULES
During the weekend follow the Main Event Schedule and Hot Laps Schedule and you can’t go wrong.
TRACK HOT LAPS PASSENGER RIDES
- You MUST be registered and have signed all event waivers to get an event wristband to do any activities involving driving or riding on track as a passenger. This includes Parade Laps.
- Approved helmets will be available and can be reserved in advance or rented at the track. If you want to go for a ride, you must be wearing an approved helmet.
- For your safety we require closed toed shoes and long pants, with common-sense coverage "on top" (no tank tops or crop tops, ideally long sleeves).
- You can get passenger rides in any group.
(Saturday E (Novice) Group drivers must get instructor sign-off before giving passenger rides)
SUNDAY PARADE LAPS
- Sunday morning from 10am to noon we'll offer Miatas-only Parade Laps so you can see Road Atlanta from the best seat in the house. NO RACE CARS OR LOUD EXHAUSTS ALLOWED.
- Miatas only on track please. Don’t have a Miata along, or not enough room for extra friends? Now’s a good time to make a new friend and bum a ride in an empty seat!
- Speeds will be much lower than in the hot laps and will be closely monitored for everyone’s safety. The lapping sessions are NOT a race event.
- There is no additional cost, as it is included in your General Admission ticket.
- The only requirement is that you and your passenger each be registered with a wristband, and that you’re in a Miata.
- There are no special safety regulations for parade laps beyond standard seat belts. Helmets and roll bars not required. Driver and passenger must be wearing their seat belts, and anyone driving in unsafe ways will be asked to pull out of line.
- Our goal is to give everyone a chance to see legendary Road Atlanta from the actual track surface in a safe way, so please be considerate of others.
PARADE LAPS PROCEDURES
- No passing. Anywhere. Period.
- Max speed 40 mph. Everywhere.
- Do not stop on track for ANY reason – it’s super dangerous!!
- Do NOT slow down to open a gap so you can speed up for a corner. This causes an unsafe “accordion effect” for everyone behind you. Maintaining a constant speed will make it more enjoyable and safe for everyone, not just you.
- As you enter the track you will be guided to the left or right side by our team members. Stay to your side while on track instead of following single file. This adds an extra margin of safety between you and the car in front of you while giving you a better view.
- At the end of Parade Laps, team members will direct you to exit the track, drivers LEFT at the turn 11 Track Exit (see map) to go back to the parking areas. Please keep cars moving to the parking areas, as we anticipate a huge number of cars and don’t want to hold things up with a traffic jam.
SUNDAY GROUP PHOTO
We’ll be setting up a huge group photo on track during your first lap of Sunday Parade laps.
It will include still photos, aerial photography and video of the parade laps.
Group photos are included for free with your admission. Still photos will be posted on our Facebook page a few days after the event.
Videos are also included with your General Admission and will be available via our YouTube channel (please subscribe via our YouTube link at bottom of this page).
OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS
FOR PURCHASE
Want to get a photo of you in your Miata driving legendary Road Atlanta?
Optional photos of you driving your Miata around the track during the Track Hot Laps or Parade Laps, taken by professional track photographers will be available for purchase.
Please contact either of our official event photographers to arrange for photos, or check with them in Vendor Alley at the event.
WHERE TO LINE UP
SUNDAY GROUP PHOTO & PARADE LAPS STAGING
Make your way to the Tower Paddock area, where our team will guide you into the staging area to park before entering the track.
Once the signal is given, staff will direct you on track for the first lap, where you will then be directed to your spot to park for the Group Photo. At this point get out of your car and stand by your door(s) so people can see your face in the photo.
As soon as the photo has been taken you’ll be released to continue with Parade Laps.
At the end of Parade Laps team members will direct you to exit the track, driver’s LEFT of the Turn 11 Track Exit (see map) to go back to parking areas.
Please don’t stop in the paddock, but proceed through the paddock to one of the other parking areas, as we anticipate a huge number of cars and don’t want to delay the event with a traffic jam in the paddock.
