Just passing this along for people that want a free track day at AMP when it opens. I have been twice and it is a dirty job that takes really a minimum of 6 hours to complete your four 6 packs. I got the chance to check out all of the paved sections, it is roughly 80-90% paved. The elevation change is INCREDIBLE. Here is the email I got from Don that runs the construction:
Don Barnes said:Jason,
Thank for the interest and inquire, and yes we need help banding tires. I would really appreciate if you would please pass this information along to any group you can. We will be banding tires every week on Friday and Saturday, unless it’s a holiday, or until we run out of tires. Bring a friend and you both can earn a track day. The track day is open for car drivers and bike riders. We will provide all the instructions, spec sheet and materials. Just let me know when you are coming, open 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. wear old clothes, boots so your feet stay dry, extra clothes and extra gloves as you will get wet and may want to change at lunch. This is fun, dirty work and expect to get wet. Expect to spend 4 to 6 hours building four bundles. Please drop me an email to schedule. We will continue to band until all tires have been used.
You will earn one day for every four bundles assembled, all bundles must meet our specs and we will inspect and approve. The track day can be used on any of the 60 Tungsten member days during 2012. Cannot be used with any other outside track renters such as SCCA, NASA, etc. Certificate expires December 31, 2012. You do not have to be a member to earn a track day.
Here is a pic of the 4 six packs I built last week:
