    Not sure where schneid is going to setup, but we'll have an RV spot on the skidpad.

    I've done infield pass for years. Last year, there were so many cars on the infield that parking became a big issue. It used to be that we drove corner to corner every hour or so, parked, opened the trunk and parked our chairs. If this year is like last year, it would be good to show early and grab one good spot we could camp on.

    The PCA price is the same as they are offering on the Road Atlanta web site for online ordering.

    we are very near the skidpad, a bit further down the straight though. last year we had a couple kegs, 5 EZ ups, plasma tv during the day and projector at night, satellite tv (college football:naughty:) we had a lil forza2 showdown late night with the wheel and projector. Im at work now but when I get home I'll make a map and show exactly where we have been the last few years.

    Don't know that guy. My bro-in-law is in DC with a black '04 STi. He flies in every year for the Petit LM. I'm 6'5" and he's like 6'3", he seems to know a bunch of you all.

    What's the cost of renting a golf cart?

    Maybe that's something I can pick up for the first 2 days.

    easier to borrow a 4-wheeler from someone?

    bought my tickets last night. debating on buying an infield parking pass, but if you guys get a golf cart you can just come pick myself and the booze up ;)

    Golf cart is $75/day for 2-seater, $85/day for 4-seater, with a 3-day minimum. It would be huge to have a cart since infield parking now is a b1tch.

    You can park outside of the track and we can come get you anyways.

    problem with the 4-wheeler is:
    1) getting it there
    2) paying for the pass for it
    3) don't know anyone that would let us borrow one

    Otherwise, I'd be more than glad to have someone lend me one.

    ok, I'm working on bringing the smoker up friday and smoking some pork shoulders and ribs for eating on saturday. mmm BBQ

    I'll probably smoke 6 shoulders, about 40 lbs worth. I'm not asking for any money but if people want to make donations it would be helpful. there may be a keg involved also. I'll plan on setting up at liquidforce's if he doesn't mind.

    It is nothing but concrete. We're on the skidpad on the inside of the track, no grass/dirt around us.

    Will I be able to drive in Saturday morning ~9am and get a parking spot? We're hoping to bring a portable grill/beer/etc. and probably meet up with you folks after lunch. Think it'll work or do we need to get there earlier?

    depends if you park off site or if you want to park infield. if trying to get inside, I'd shoot for earlier. it gets really hectic

    I will have to bum a ride from the Duluth area though.

    I may try to swing it.
