Same question, anything change at the ARRC race with respect to staying at the track for the entire event?
    Assuming you meant "charge" rather than "change", unlike some other tracks there is no additional cost if you want to stay at Road Atlanta all weekend. If you get there late you might need to be creative in getting shore power, but Atlanta Region does not collect an additional surcharge for those that hook up to electricity either.

    That's good to know - so electricity is sparse? Definitely will need electricity for the Road Africa event as it'll be hot.

    No, I mean change. That is, all fundamental operations work the same for a normal race and the ARRC race?

    There's shore power available on the skid pad. That's one level up from the swamp. I think the Carolina contingent likes the swamp, but a 100 foot extension cord might reach up the hill from there, if you are paddocked on the hill side.

    Camping logistics are the same regardless of the event weekend.

    Power is available in many/most places around the paddock, just sometimes you might need a longer extension cord (or Siamese off your neighbor) to reach it. Since there is no extra charge to plug in, however, mooching off your buddy should be a no-brainer.

    Hey Butch... What about 30 amp service for RVs?

    By the time this race comes around I should be living back in ATL. I hope you can make it. IMHO the skid pad is the best place to park - it's FLAT and plenty of power. Park against the hill below tech - it's pretty quiet. Steve not sure about 30A power. You must have a big fridge!

    There are a few spots with 30 amp service but the vast majority are less (15 amp?).
