    Unless you drive a high priced car that is represented in the race, its doubtful that IMSA will have a car corral set up for you.

    Ill be there, up by the bath house by T5.

    I just picked up an infocus projector from techlord. I figure a screen on the side of the rv and we will have a nice theater setup.

    oh, and roasting a whole pig. :coolugh:

    We will also need a generator. The rv has one but I don't know when I'll have time to fix it. It runs ok but if you put the kind of load we are talking about on it , it will stall.

    I'll check it tonight and start a new thread for it.

    Cool. I'm starting to get in the ALM mood!

    So are there only 3 classes running? No GT1 right?

    ^^^

    Yes... No GT1 entries this year (at least none that I am aware of).

    GT2 is going to be awesome, though, and a welcome change from the lameness of Corvette running a class all by themselves. This will make my fourth year attending, and now that Audi has promised to come it looks like this race may be the best in a pretty good while.

    I'm going up on Thursday evening, and plan to try and stick around until Sunday morning. This is a first for me, as I usually come on Sat. morning. I see lots of beer in my future.

    I'm gonna come by the skidpad again this year so I can annoy some of you. If ya'll see a, um, "big boned" guy with a blue wagon and gray SPT wheels near the woods at the bottom of the esses, feel free to come have a drink or just shoot the sh*t.

    Just found out a driver I worked with at Subaru in 03 is racing in Mazda Atlantic Championships. It will be good to catch up with him! We all need to root for him. :)

    i just figured out i'm missing it AGAIN this year. For a kick ass reason, though.
    The Stone Mountain Chili Cook-off is that day. And, being the reigning chili champion from last year, i guess i'll have to choose chili over cars.

    So, if you can't make it to the race, come by St. Mnt. Park and vote for my chili. So Fine Bovine! i promise, it's kick ass chili!

    Butt, the Butthole Surfers are playing @ the Masquerade Saturday night, so that'll make all things better.

    Chili, the Butthole Surfers and the Petit Le Mans all on the same day. go ATL!

    I'll be rolling up there with the rv on Thursday. If you are going to come I would suggest coming out on Friday.
