GAINESVILLE - A memorial service is planned next week for Dave Sloyer, a Cleveland Ga. businessman and the designer and founder of Road Atlanta.​

Sloyer died last week at Northeast Georgia Medical Center following a long illness.​

Sloyer was a Kansas native with an aerospace background who raced cars on the side. His love for automobile racing was a driving force in his life. After pulling his race cars all over the country doing club races, he decided to build a race track at home, so in 1969 Road Atlanta was born.​

Sloyer was the designer and founder of Road Atlanta, and remained at the track as Vice President and General Manager until 1979.
