Half day here to get paperwork done and inspections reassigned. Been slowly the truck and going over the list again and again. Pasta salad to make and I'm ready to head out early tomorrow and stake our claim. Think it's going to be a tough wide claim but the neighbors are in line already and will defend our space until I'm there

Nice. Figured the radio silence meant you were neck deep into prep. I appreciate your efforts, too.

I appreciate you being big and wide, pal. Means a lot to have that spot.

I'm bringing Christmas lights and an extra Coleman 2 burner.

Same here, cept I'm working a half day on Weds. I'll try to stop by when we're over in 10 a/b. I'll be a jolly fat guy with a large graying beard carrying a beer. I just described half of Athens GA.

Current Situation

For anyone planning to get there on Saturday morning, Michelin will be at Lanier Speedway checking tires coming in. A limited number of cars on Michelin tires will be given free parking passes and a spot on spectator hill, along with a unique hospitality tent featuring non-alcholic beverages and light snacks. Just something to consider if you're not showing up until Saturday.

I'm planning on being there Friday and Saturday.

Are any buildings really permanent? #deepthoughts

And it looks like the old Porsche or Audi buildings they have been throwing up on the hill.

Thanks, Jack Handy.

It's further up the hill now. Not sure why they chose that spot but it's at least not blocking any views...

My guess? None. They don't have enough people to counter balance

Yeah, watching it unfold and go up was scary to say the least.

The AMG house is inside the parking area on the other side of the track access road, I haven't been up to see how much they've blocked off of the walk to turn 1 yet.

So far it looks like Road Atlanta has been surprised there is an event this week. No testing action on track this year sadly. And looks like near constant track maintenance and installation of new signage.

Is this Fox sign an all one new or just a new sponsor?

You know how the saying goes, more Mazdas don't race any given weekend than any other. Oh wait, is it more Mazdas burn on any given weekend, I forget.

Jets.com last year and just a horribly placed sign when standing on the hill. Gotta stand right next to it!

Sho was. That's your wet hand.

I tried to suppress memories from that year.
