This past weekend we loaded up the Titan rig and headed to Roebling Road in Savannah Georgia for the first Flat Out Motorsports track day. FlatOut Motorsports was founded by 2 great friends of Titan with the vision of providing track days at great tracks with a more private experience than those found at your typical DE event. With the number of entrants limited to just 45 cars, those who participated were allotted more track time per session, and more importantly less traffic on track.
If you’ve never been to Roebling Road, it’s a great track located just outside of Savannah, GA. The track is 2.02 miles, and features 9 turns, many of which allow for very high speed cornering. There is one long straightaway, one which speeds often reach in the 130-155mph range, however it’s not a horsepower track by any means. There is plenty of runoff around the track and only one wall bordering pit lane, which makes it a great track for new drivers or those looking for additional instruction. We geared up for the event by dusting off our Camo 996tt and planned on using this weekend as a shakedown for the busy DE / Track schedule we have over the next few months. Jon Miller, professional driver /driving coach and the newest member of the Titan team was on hand, as well as Nero’s in his BMW E92 M3, and myself in my BMW M Coupe.
Overall we had a great time this weekend, and FlatOut provided a very safe environment to run our cars Flat Out. For an inaugural event the guys did a great job and we’re looking forward to supporting them at future events. Next up we’ll be heading back to Roebling September 10-11 with the Florida Crown Region PCA for a driver’s ed event. There are still a few spots left for this event and registration is available online at clubregistration.net To be added to our track event mailing list, please email jonm@titanmotorsports.com and keep you informed so that you can join us at one of our future events.
