Follow on Google News | “Super Speeder” Law Increases Atlanta Motorsports Park Success!New GA Super Speeder Law may increase patronage at AMP.
By: Jason Swenk Let’s face it: there is nothing more exhilarating than hearing the roar of an engine, being pushed deep into a bucket seat as you take a turn, and “seeing” a blur as you speed down the open road. Unfortunately, driving your car fast is illegal—especially with the new “Super Speeder” law that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2010. This law adds an additional $200 fine on drivers exceeding 85 mph on any road and 75 mph on any two lane road. Though the government’s intentions for this law are to reduce the amount of people speeding on Georgia highways in order to lessen the large amount of medical emergencies and to keep traffic flows steady, there may be an unintentional effect from this law. Drivers have a need for speed, and Atlanta Motorsports Park has the perfect outlet for them. Jeremy W. Porter, CEO, considers AMP as a place that allows speeders to safely and legally do what they want to do—DRIVE FAST! With speeding tickets increasing in price, drivers are going to look for other venues to push their vehicles to the limit. AMP offers a high-scale environment for unleashing the raw potential of sports cars without any of the pricey legal ramifications of doing so on state roads. With the new law in effect, AMP looks forward to a likely increase in customers. In fact, AMP has decided that if you bring your super speeder ticket to the park, along with your sports car, then you can get a free half day on the track and a AMP super-speeder t-shirt that proclaims, (FRONT) "I've learned my lesson!" (BACK) "AMP is the only safe and fun way to fill the need for speed in Georgia !." Now that’s a nice perk for getting caught by the police for doing what comes naturally, huh? # # # Solar Velocity one of the fastest growing interactive marketing and technology services firms in the Southeast.
