Xiven, we definitely need to get a few posts brewing on here for the other Road Atlanta meets we were talking about at the Varsity. Walter Mitty being a big one along with Drift Atlanta. I attend both of these on a regular basis, and would love to be able to claim a spot in the infield for Z's only.

I'm all for it. I never miss The Mitty. I've been to Drift once but I'll definitely go if we can get a group together.

xiven · 09-15-2009, 10:47 AM

I'm about to get my advance ticket.

Roll call...Who's going? Where do you guys want to meet? I'm usually around Turn 10A. We can meet there or somewhere else in the infield. I'm flexible.

Sebring?

RCZ · 09-16-2009, 02:59 PM

Yeah, those amco colors should immediately scream sebring.

We got the infield parking.

kevr6 · 09-20-2009, 10:20 PM

Is there going to be a location infield that we can park together? Usually it's so packed that if you aren't part of a corral you can't do that. Turn 10 is near the tunnel which I don't recall as having great parking. I usually get there early and park near turn 2 just past the car club corrals. You generally see all the wrecks that take place off of turn 1.
Any suggestions?

Its going to be my first time at RA so I don't really know where parking is good. We are going to have a crappy rental car so it doesnt matter as far as we are concerned. I'll see you guys there tho.

xiven · 09-21-2009, 11:50 AM

Turn 2 and Turn 7 are options right now. Sucks that parking is $40. Maybe kevr6 has a hookup at least on parking passes??? Wishful thinking I guess. Pack some rain gear, i'm not sure when we are going to get a break from all this rain. They may not do the night session on Thursday if its raining bad. I think I remember them cancelling it one time.

RCZ · 09-21-2009, 07:00 PM

Yeah I hope there isn't a foot of water on the track...though it does make for a more exciting race.

Xiven, a few others and myself should be doing a caravan to the track... Rain or shine its going to be an interesting race! I vote for turn 7 as we can get up close and have easy access to Turns 10a&b, 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5... there is a plus to 7 as well because it is PAVED! turn 2 is not! let me know what everyone thinks.

Only problem w/ turn 7 is the campers line up against the fence making this village. So you end up in each campers area to see over the wall. Also forget about parking there. But give it a try!! I may be wrong!! It is a good vantage point to see hot glowing brake rotors!!

RCZ · 09-28-2009, 02:52 PM

Well it was great till they called it. I was actually standing next to them when they made the decision to call it.

kevr6 · 09-28-2009, 06:34 PM

I enjoyed the race even with the cold wet weather. Thanks to Mike we had a good position on the hill! (we also were on TV a couple times)

For those of you who missed this.

After Scott Sharp was involved in a horrific crash during practice, his team rebuilt an entire Le Mans car from scratch in less than 24 hours and had it ready to compete.
