Heads up everyone...two things.

1) You can only purchase tickets up until 5:00 PM today!! All ticket sales for the Nissan Car Corral/Hospitatlity area ends after that.

2) Come hang out with many of the folks you met..or may not have had a chance to meet at the Z Nationals event. I regret that I did not get to talk with many of you during the show. Hopefully I will be able to catch up with all of you at Petit.

SPOHN 09-28-2011 03:33 PM

Me too. Last weekend was more than a blast then this. Then the weekend after I'm going up to Helen for the weekend in a cabin.

SPOHN 09-28-2011 03:45 PM

This month I am. I didn't even get to go on my yearly vacation this year. I'll be signing up to run at Road Atlanta in Nov. Can't wait for that.

Mike 09-30-2011 08:52 AM

I'll get there around noon tomorrow. Going to see Adam Carolla at the tabernacle tonite and staying downtown. I'm guessing we may see him in the Nissan tent this weekend also.

SPOHN 09-30-2011 11:27 AM

What's the earliest we can get there tomorrow?

Lol...tonight at the end of any planned/scheduled events. The gates for Petit LeMans are open 24hrs. I have arrived there at 2 AM before to set up camp. You basically get there whenever you feel like it. The earlier the better.

yeah you can get there when ever but GTR/Z car corral parking is open at 9am

SPOHN 09-30-2011 02:52 PM

Ok. That's what I wanted to know.

daisuke149 09-30-2011 03:02 PM

so does getting there at 9 sound good to you also Kevin?

Chris may not be directly in your way but if you wanna meet up and caravan too.

Teddy KGB 09-30-2011 05:54 PM

On the way back from the track now. Not much going on all day at the Nissan tent. We got there at 2:30pm and were the 13th and 14th people to stop by. They said tmrw had around 50 people signed up. Nissan doesn't allow alcohol...(WTF??) but I'm bringing a cooler tmrw...fo sho.

HKYStormFront 09-30-2011 09:13 PM

had a great time at the event today! yea there wasn't much activity at the tent. ran into mark (prov1, gunmetal GTR owner at z nats last weekend) and hung out with him for a while. also saw paul (caretaker of the collection that includes the IMSA cars that were at z nats) down at turn one in an RV and we hung out and watched tv for a while. got some good pics today. working on them now. see everyone in the morning!

Based on the last 6 years we are heading in very early. 5:30 arrival is my goal.

Skeeterbop 09-30-2011 10:08 PM

We got there around 9:30, the most active I saw it was at lunch around noon. I spent most of the day out and about getting pictures though. Also got the guys from the Nissan LMP2 to autograph the hat that came in our goodie bag :D Anyways, here are some pics:

First one is coming up out of the chicane:

TreeSemdyZee 09-30-2011 10:33 PM

You're too fast HK. I'm still working on my pics from Mid-Ohio. Tell the Nissan people (Andy, Brandy, etc.) that Brian Murphy from Mid-Ohio said Hi.

HKYStormFront 09-30-2011 10:39 PM

Nissan Motorsports and Z1 did a great job. Not sure who stuck around till the very end, but the Nissan team came 3rd in class! I may get a few pics up tonight, but i think my total is around 6-700 for today.
