Luck of the Draw Feature Race
The Luck of the Draw Feature Race is a special feature race for any SM that have raced in prior days ARRC or Pro-IT events or are registered to race in the ECR on Sunday afternoon. The objective is to provide a fun race in a different format with a monetary payout to competing drivers. This will be a Pro race where $100 of the entry fee will be allocated for driver payout. $100 of registration fee will be allocated to driver pay out.
- Entry Deadline: In order to set the grid, Luck of the Draw participants must register by 12:00 pm (Noon) Saturday November 2.
- Car Eligibility: In order to be eligible to race in this event all cars must meet the SM specifications defined by the GCR and the SEDIV regional racing rules. In order to be eligible for payout the car also must have entered and ran in prior days events or registered and run in the ECR.
- Grid: There will be no qualifying session for this race. Grid positions will be determined by the cars fastest lap time from prior days qualifying or races. Grid positions will be assigned in reverse order to speed of the car (i.e. the fastest cars will be at the back of the grid and slowest at the front of the grid).
- Start: Any car observed jumping the start may receive a black flag and a drive through penalty.
- Race Length: The race will be 20 laps or 40 minutes in length, whichever comes first.
- Payout: We will draw for payout, with money going to 5 drivers 45%, 25%, 15%, 10%, 5%. Everyone gets one chance by entering and turning a wheel in the race. Top finishers get extra chance at the drawing in the following allocation:

3) 100 mile Trans Am Race: a highlight for Sunday is the 100 mile Trans Am race. These “big noise” cars are fun to watch and provide an exciting race.
4) “Luck of the Draw” feature race: A special feature race for Spec Miata’s is scheduled for noon on Sunday November 3. This will be a race for cash prizes featuring our largest car class and a “special twist” to make it very interesting racing. Details for this special race can be found in Appendix A.

“Express Tech”
|
On Wednesday and Thursday, drivers with current Annual Tech inspection may bring their log books to Registration and receive their weekend Tech stickers when signing in.

Dual Paddocks: For this event we will have the use of BOTH paddocks. Cars in Groups 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 are assigned to the Club Paddock (outside the track) whileGroups 7 and 9 will use the Infield Paddock (inside the track). Grid, Pit Road, and Tech for all groups will also be located on the same side as their paddock assignment. Drivers choosing to park on the opposite side from their assigned group(s) are responsible for getting to the proper side for all sessions. Be sure and inform the gate personnel when entering the premises regarding your paddock assignment (Club or Infield).
PLEASE TAKE MEASURES TO SECURE YOUR VALUABLES!!!
While Atlanta Region and Road Atlanta are focused on making this a safe and fun event, remember this is a spectator event with ticket sales available to the general public. PLEASE store your valuables securely and/or make arrangements for someone to watch your paddock area when heading out on track.
