I have a couple of questions, we will be heading down to Atlanta for the first time for the next 2 supercross races.
1. I've been to a couple and waiting in line for 30+ minutes before the gates open, but I don't feel like it this year lol. I am thinking about just showing up about 30 minutes after the gates open, would the lines be gone by then to get into the gate?
2. Where is the best place to park to be able to get out after the race? I am looking at buying a permit for the Red Deck parking lot right across from the dome, but not sure how traffic would be after the race.

I suggest checking out the MARTA website and locating a station on your way in. Easy, safe parking and you can take the train directly to the station at the Dome.
Running down from the 75 north there are no real good places to park and hop on MARTA. I live straight up 400 so I can just park at the north springs station and ride down.

Speaking of the track will they have two different layouts for the two weekends?
Red lot parking is really premium. Its right across from the Dome, I mean like 100 yards.I'm not a fan of MARTA for a variety of reasons. I have friends who insist on parking out on the perimeter and taking MARTA to the Dome. I have parked at the Red lot and been halfway home before my friends who take MARTA even get back to their cars. The key? Get the hell out of the stadium as soon as the checkered flag waves. I mean like, be on the aisle walking toward the exit looking back over your shoulder to watch the finish.
Actually, the same could be said for MARTA, to get on the first cycle of trains, you've got to be down there quick, otherwise, you can feel the pleasure of being packed into that underground sarcophagus like herded sheep waiting for the next train to come. Sorry, if I'm going to wait, its going to be in my climate controlled car with the radio station of my choice blaring. Pick your poison.
Disclaimer:
If you're coming in from the north, you may have a totally different experience. We come in from the SE, and its not exactly the best part of town, so we've experienced some pretty sketchy crap over the years (I was a Falcons season ticket holder for several years and did MARTA a lot). A good bit of my disdain for MARTA is due to some of the shit I've witnessed over the years, some with my (then) young son in tow.
Pit Row
I was also thinking a short cab ride to and from would be our best bet, has anyone ever tried getting a cab after the race is finished? How difficult is it to do so? I appreciate the info you veteran race-goers are providing. Being my first time going, and since I'm bring the ole' lady, I want to make sure I've got my game-plan together.
This will be my first time at the Atlanta Supercross since moving to Atlanta (NE) last year. My dad and I will be going to both of them this year, excited for the back to back weekends.
*They answered your questions about pits and lines so listen to that. The only time I ever had to wait more than 10 minutes was when I got there before they opened the doors.
