    Anyone going? Anyone have a hookup on tickets (not that they are that expensive)?

    Friend and I are thinking of going.

    I was thinking about going this year but if we stay as busy as we are right now I won't be able to.

    Yeah I've enjoyed petit so much the last few years and I really wanted to go to Daytona last year. It will be tricky, but with school just starting I shouldn't have much going on then. If my friend is serious, then I'm going.

    If you like Petit, you should also try Sebring and the GrandAm race at Barber.

    FWIW, I'm going; I think this makes the sixth or seventh year in a row for me.

    I'm driving down Friday after work and heading back after the race Sunday. It's always a lot of fun, but I do like the ALMS cars better. I guess this is your only chance to attend a big league 24 hour long race inside of the United States, though.

    I heard they are expecting a big attendance this year- hopefully I won't have too much trouble finding some space on the infield. I'm definitely a little worried about that since I'll be getting there so late.

    I wish I could offer a hook up on tickets. Every other year I've gotten awesome tickets for free through Rolex, but the friend I got that through changed jobs and lost the benefit. This year I had to buck up like everyone else. You can get a four day ticket with infield parking and a pit pass for $85- not bad for an event of this caliber.

    So, just curious... Am I the only dork on this site that ended up going? Taking a break and just thought I'd ask. Give me a yell if you're here and want to watch some late night racin.' A good time so far and plan to be up LATE!:) My crew has a bad habit of passing out by midnight.
