Roebling Road Raceway is a 2.02 mile (3.25 kilometer) road racing course located in Bloomingdale, Georgia. Opened in 1959, Roebling Road is relatively unique amongst racetracks in that it lacks any accommodations for spectators — there are no grandstands, no picnicking areas or any other sort of viewing facilities. The track was designed by John Rueter and held it's first SCCA event June 11-12, 1960. The track was financed by and named after SCCA supporter Robert Roebling, great grandson of John A. Roebling.

Roebling Road hosts events >300 days per year. Events range from media, pro teams testing cars, club racing, and performance driving education events. Club races include the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), BMW Car Owners Club of America (BMWCCA), Porsche Club of America (PCA), North American Sports Car Association (NASA), and the Vintage Drivers Club of America (VDCA). The track is used by cars, motorcycles and karts.

The track is a very safe and forgiving track, making it ideal to learn on. It is characterized by large amounts of run-off room and only a single wall.

Roebling is unusual in that it is owned by a local racing club, the [http://www.buccaneerregion.org/ Buccaneer Region of the SCCA] . As a not-for-profit, non-spectator oriented track, it is one of the most inexpensive tracks to run on in the U.S.

Roebling hosts several driver's education oriented events each month. The format varies with the hosting organization. There are relatively expensive events where the organizers provide high performance cars and, there are significantly less expensive events where you bring your own car. As you work your way up in skill level you are allowed to drive on the track "solo". And it's far harder then you think. But it's every bit as fun as you imagine.
