Roebling Road Raceway Track Guide

Roebling Road Raceway — Just Track It Newcomer’s Guide

Version: 1.0 | Last updated: 2026-01-27
Status: Newcomer-oriented field guide (not an official rulebook). Always follow (1) track management, (2) JTI supplemental regs, and (3) your drivers’ meeting.

Roebling Road Raceway is a fast, flowing 2.02-mile road course tucked into the Georgia lowcountry just outside Savannah. With generous runoff and a layout that rewards smooth inputs and patience, it’s a standout venue for first-time track drivers—while still challenging experienced drivers with high-commitment corners and long-duration load on the left-front tire.

Non-spectator facility: Roebling Road is not a “show up and watch” track. You must be with a hosting group (participant/crew/guest) to gain entry, except for special community days listed on the track calendar.

How to Use This Guide

This guide answers the “what do I do next?” questions before and during your first Just Track It weekend at Roebling. Use it in three passes:

Before you leave home: Use the checklists to pack and avoid rookie failures (battery, numbers, loose items, fluids).
At the track: Use the arrival flow and compliance sections to get through gate/registration/tech without drama.
On track: Use the layout section for orientation, but treat the drivers’ meeting as the final authority on passing zones, flags, and the day’s layout (main vs. chicane).

Rule Hierarchy

When something conflicts, follow this order:

Track management and posted track rules (including local ordinance)
Just Track It supplemental regulations (JTI’s written rules for that weekend)
Drivers’ meeting / chief instructor / control directives (what you are told that morning)
This guide (best practices and “how it usually works”)

If you ever feel uncertain: ask grid staff, pit-out, or an instructor before you roll.

Just Track It Event Format

Run Groups

Just Track It operates five run groups based on experience level:

Run Group	Description	Passing Rules
Novice Instructed	First-timers with mandatory in-car instruction	Straights only with point-by
Novice Solo	Signed-off novices driving without instructor	Straights only with point-by
Intermediate 1	Developing drivers building consistency	Designated zones with point-by
Intermediate 2	Experienced intermediate drivers	Anywhere on track with point-by
Advanced	Highly experienced drivers	Anywhere on track with point-by

Novice Instructed and Novice Solo share the same on-track sessions. Intermediate 2 and Advanced share passing rules (anywhere with a point-by).

Novice Instruction Program

Novice instruction is mandatory until you are signed off by an instructor to drive solo. Your instructor rides in the passenger seat, providing real-time coaching on braking points, turn-in references, and throttle application. You will not be sent onto the track alone until an instructor certifies you are ready.

Roebling’s flowing layout and sustained cornering make it excellent for learning smooth inputs and patience—skills your instructor will emphasize.

Session Format

Standard JTI sessions run 20 minutes with five sessions per run group throughout the day. The last two sessions of the day extend to 30 minutes with combined groups (Novice Instructed + Novice Solo together; Intermediate 1 + Intermediate 2 together; Advanced may combine with I2).

Membership

Just Track It annual membership is offered but not required to participate in events. Registration occurs through MotorsportReg.

Passing Protocol

The slower car gives the point-by signal by extending their left arm out the window, pointing toward the passing side.
Stay on the racing line and lift slightly off the throttle.
Blocking is strictly prohibited. Give point-bys early; don’t “teach lessons” to faster traffic behind you.

Arrival Flow

A clean first-time flow at Roebling:

Arrive via GA-17 → Roebling Road (NOT Zeigler/Ziegler Road if towing—see Directions section).
Gate: Sign waiver(s) → receive wristband(s) → pay any track fees (power/camping/garage if applicable).
Paddock: Pick a spot → unload → set up canopy/tools → apply car numbers.
Registration: Driver credentials, schedule, run group assignment, classroom location (if novice).
Tech Inspection: Present car, helmet, and completed tech form at tech pavilion/garage area.
Drivers’ Meeting: Mandatory attendance → confirm passing zones, flags, black-flag procedure, and whether chicane is in use.
Grid for Session 1: Arrive early → listen to grid workers → go out calm.

Location and Directions

Roebling Road Raceway
1135 Roebling Road, Bloomingdale, GA 31302

Roebling sits about 10 minutes from I-95 and roughly 11 miles from SAV airport.

Critical Towing GPS Warning

If you plug the address into GPS, many apps route you via Zeigler/Ziegler Road. No tractor-trailers or vehicles towing trailers are permitted on those roads.

Use the official route via GA-17 → Roebling Road instead.

From Savannah / SAV (via I-16 West)

Take I-16 W to Exit 152 (Bloomingdale Road)
Turn right; follow Bloomingdale Road to US-80
Turn left on US-80 to GA-17 (at light for GA 30/17)
Turn right onto GA-17; Roebling Road is the first paved road on the right, about 1.5 miles up
Follow Roebling Road to the end; entrance on the left

From Jacksonville (via I-95 North)

Take I-95 N to Exit 99B for I-16 W
Continue to Exit 152 (Bloomingdale Road)
Follow Savannah directions above

Track Layout and Corner Analysis

Roebling is a 2.02-mile course with 9 corners on the main layout. Some events run an alternate layout with a chicane (commonly described as 12 corners total). Your drivers’ meeting will confirm which layout is in use.

The track is known for sustained cornering and tire wear—especially left-front wear. The surface is generally smooth for a club track.

Turn-by-Turn Breakdown (Main Course)

Turn 1
A very fast, decreasing-radius right sweeper at the end of the long front straight. Prioritize a clean, stable entry. Avoid “hero braking” your first sessions.

Turn 2
A continuing right with a later apex than most first-timers expect. Vision and patience matter.

Turn 3
Fast left sweeper; commitment corner. Smooth hands, minimal scrub.

Turn 4 (“The Collector”)
Tighter right that catches impatience. Late apex and a settled car win here.

Turn 5
Slowest corner—near hairpin. Exit matters, especially in momentum cars. In wet conditions, standing water can collect here.

Turns 6-7 (Carousel Complex)
Linked right-hand sweepers with elevation change. Avoid early apexing; let the corner come to you and prioritize exit.

Turns 8-9
Two right sweepers that set up the long straight. Turn 9 is the one-wall corner—respect it and unwind the wheel before full throttle.

Common First-Timer Mistakes

Early apexing (especially Turn 2, Turn 4, the 6/7 complex)
Overdriving the out-lap (cold tires + cold brakes)
Ignoring tire pressures until cords show up
Not packing hydration and shade

First Session Playbook

Out-lap: warm tires/brakes; build speed gradually
Pick two goals: be smooth, hit consistent turn-in points
Give point-bys early; don’t “teach lessons”
Cool-down lap: breathe, review, pit safely

Track Surface and Conditions

Roebling is known for sustained cornering and tire wear. The surface is generally smooth for a club track, but conditions evolve.

Key Characteristics

Tire management matters significantly
Track can feel crowned/off-camber when you run wide
In wet conditions, standing water appears in predictable areas (notably Turn 5 and portions of carousel complex)

Runoff Warning

Runoff exists, but don’t treat it as “free.” Some areas end in sand berms—avoid entering deep runoff at speed.

Left-Front Tire Stress

The layout creates sustained left-front loading. Monitor this tire closely throughout the day. Consider rotation mid-day for extended events.

Sound Compliance

Decibel Limits

Published sound limits are typically 103 dB, with a 104 dB vintage allowance for some events. Track rules also reference ~103.9 dB.

Enforcement Pattern

Sound meter typically positioned driver’s left just past start/finish
Two readings over → flagged in and must correct before re-entering

Mitigation Tactics

Angle exhaust toward driver’s right (where possible)
Lift slightly at sound station
Run near other cars when passing meter

Quiet Hours

8:00 PM – 8:00 AM daily — no race engines or loud vehicles
Sunday 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM — commonly enforced with fine
Additional rules may require all noise to cease by 9:00 PM weekdays, 10:00 PM weekends

Tech Inspection

Before the Event

Many organizations require pre-event inspection by a qualified mechanic. Download JTI’s form, have it signed, and bring it.

Day-Of Inspection

Tech is typically near garages/grid area. Inspectors check:

Tires (condition, cords, leaks, adequate tread)
Brakes (pad thickness, fluid, leaks, pedal feel)
Battery securement and terminal coverage
Seat belts/harnesses and seats properly mounted
No fluid leaks
Loose items removed
Helmet compliance (Snell/FIA requirement)

Common Failures

Expired helmet standard
Unsecured battery
Low brake pads or old fluid
Loose items in cabin
Missing/undersized numbers
Fluid leaks
Questionable harness geometry/installation

Safety Equipment Requirements

Helmet Standards

Requirements vary by event. Many car events require Snell SA helmets and do not accept motorcycle “M” ratings. Confirm the currently accepted JTI helmet standard in your event confirmation and during on-site tech inspection.

Required Driver Attire

Long sleeves and long pants (natural fibers preferred)
Closed-toe shoes with thin, grippy soles
Gloves (optional but helpful)
Head-and-neck restraint (often mandatory with multi-point harness; recommended regardless)

Facility rule: Open-toed shoes are not allowed in hot areas (grid, pit lane, corner stations).

Vehicle Requirements

Conservative baseline:

Seat belts in good condition (or properly installed harness)
Working brake lights
Secure battery, covered terminals
Fresh brake fluid (DOT 4 commonly recommended)
Adequate brake pads (50%+ recommended)
Tires appropriate for track use; no cords, bubbles, sketchy repairs
Wheels torqued to spec
No fluid leaks
Cabin cleared of loose items (including floor mats)

Convertibles

Rules vary by organizer. Many require factory rollover protection and/or approved roll bar meeting “broomstick rule.” If using 5/6-point harness, you generally need approved seat and rollover protection.

Fire Extinguisher

Just Track It does not mandate fire extinguishers. However, track rules commonly require at least one portable dry chemical fire extinguisher, minimum rating 10-ABC, visible and in good working condition in your pit/paddock area.

Paddock and Facilities

Paddock Layout

Large infield area with mix of grass and paved lanes.
Shade spots near early turns are prized.
Registration, tech, and information centered near tech pavilion/garage/grid area.

Newcomer Paddock Strategy

Arrive early for shade
Choose higher ground if rain possible (low spots can flood)
Keep paddock roads clear (fire code / emergency access)
Manage cords and hoses to prevent trip hazards

Restrooms and Showers

Two permanent restroom facilities with hot showers:

Near Turn 5
Behind concession stand

Garages

Open-air garages available for rental (limited quantity):

$60/day (single-day)
$40/day per day (multi-day)

Each garage typically includes 110v power; power in adjacent spaces usually separate fee.

Electrical Hookups

Hookups include 110v and 30/50-amp options. Pay at gate and display sticker on cord.

On-Site Fuel

Commonly available:

98 unleaded and 110 leaded in 5-gallon pails

Payment often credit card friendly; some events card-only. Verify before arriving.

Nearby Pump Gas

Pump gas readily available in Pooler and along major routes. Plan fuel runs during cold-track windows if leaving paddock.

Waste Fluids

Track provides multiple waste stations (oil, fuel, coolant; brake fluid at fuel station). Don’t cross-contaminate—significant fines for contamination.

Tire Services

No permanent tire shop on-site. Vendors often attend events—arrange in advance if you need mounting/balancing at track.

Safety Services

During events, facility commonly staffs EMS and fire support. Do not assume you can run vehicles on track without official event operations and safety services present.

Camping and Overnight Policies

Gate Hours

Gate hours determined by hosting group. Don’t assume 24/7 access; check confirmation email and supplemental regs.

Camping Fees (Track FAQ Examples)

Type	Price
Motorhome/trailer with 30/50-amp power	$25/night
110v	$10/day per cord (sticker required)
Tent camping	$10/day
Motorcycles (tire warmers)	$10/day per cord (1 set per cord)

Important Limits

No dump station on property
Not all campsites have water
Power availability not guaranteed; generator often recommended
Campfires/ground fires not allowed

Track Crossing

The practical exit path may require controlled track crossing. Expect constraints—plan errands around schedule windows.

Weather Considerations

Climate Overview

Expect humid subtropical conditions: heat, humidity, and sudden storms in summer; mild winters; occasional morning fog.

Best Periods

Spring and fall are typically the sweet spot: moderate temperatures and lower humidity.

Summer Realities (June-August)

Heat stress is real: hydrate aggressively
Bring shade (EZ-up), sunscreen, and cooling plan
Watch coolant temps; allow cool-down laps
Bug spray essential (lowcountry is lowcountry)

Morning Fog and Dew

If temperature and dew point converge, track can be slick early even without rain. Treat Session 1 as reconnaissance.

Hotels and Lodging

Practical Lodging Approach

Start with track’s hotel information page: roeblingroad.com/roebling-road-raceway-hotel-information.html
Confirm code/rate on phone before arriving

Lodging Buckets

Use Case	Recommendation
Closest / simplest	Pooler or airport-area hotels (quick commute, easy parking)
Best “experience” off track	Savannah Historic District (more nightlife/food, longer commute)
Trailer-friendly	Prioritize large lots; confirm trailer parking in writing

Food and Supplies

On-Site Dining

Many event weekends run a concession stand for breakfast/lunch hours. Don’t assume it will be open—pack snacks.

Nearby Essentials

Pooler has grocery, big-box stores, and chain restaurants. Auto parts stores can save a weekend for common issues (battery, fluids, hand tools).
