    Also, lets start a list of who is bringing what so we can prepare. Anyone have a portable grill, canopy, etc... please post up. We definitely need these things.





    Tent Spot:
    For anyone meeting us there, I'm assuming we'll try to be in the same spot as last year.
    http://roadatlanta.com/trackmap.lasso
    To the right of infield tunnel, near turn 10. back row beyond/right of the fork. Should be able to park along the road there too if we're lucky. Look for subaru's and a mini with white stripes nearby. If you need help recognizing us, look at the pictures posted from last year in this post. We may or may not have a banner.

    As of right now I think I'm actually free this weekend. If anyone hasn't come out to this with us, you really should, its just as laid back as the dinner meets, but even more so with all the tasty cold beverages :p

    Anyone got a hook up on some media vests by chance? I'm sure there are several of us that'd like to do some track side shooting.

    Awesome! Was thinking someone may need to get there when the gates open to make sure we get enough space. It was tight/almost didn't get a spot last time.

    Although I think it was mostly because we were waiting so long at bass pro

    Easy way around this is premixing rum and coke beverages in coke bottles :)

    I doubt they'll check everyone's car so can probably get away with being beer in as well
