So who's going?

gsmith2424 · 17 Sep 2004, 19:51 (Ref:1099674)

I will be there.

PRODRIVEALLSTAR · 17 Sep 2004, 20:32 (Ref:1099693)

I'll be there the whole week camping.

Shady#30 · 17 Sep 2004, 20:39 (Ref:1099702)

I'll be arriving in the area thursday night but probably not going to the track til friday morning. As usual, you can find me at Intersport or anywhere that features a speedy bmw.

MulsanneMike · 17 Sep 2004, 22:48 (Ref:1099813)

I'll be there though not sure my schedule, depends on if work can spare me.

**skycafe** · 17 Sep 2004, 23:34 (Ref:1099832)

Friday and Saturday.

Fish_Flake · 18 Sep 2004, 02:11 (Ref:1099875)

I might be going. It depends on whether or not I can get my hands on tickets sometime in the next week.

73_Gstock · 19 Sep 2004, 12:10 (Ref:1100932)

I'll be on post somewhere around the circuit.

Look for a blue Jetta with rally lights and/or a Western Ohio Region SCCA banner on the wall in front of the post.

Can't wait to get to the red hills of Georgia!

Tuesday, 10AM, I'm leaving Dayton and won't look back until Sunday morning!

WOO-HOO!

PRODRIVEALLSTAR · 20 Sep 2004, 03:45 (Ref:1101573)

It doesnt look like that other hurricane is gonna hit the coast, so it should be nice weather for the week.

Hopefully, although Atlanta area schools were closed from the rain from Ivan, so I am cursious if anybody knows what grounds of track are like--should I be packing hip boots?

They didn't make that message clear over here at Southern Poly...classes were on, off, and back on again over the course of last Thursday night and Friday morning.

The weather in the Atlanta area has been warm and clear since Friday afternoon. On campus, there are a few muddy patches still remaining (mostly from the grassless patches of ground scattered around due to constant construction), but the precipitation has dried out for the most part. I would expect Road Atlanta to be the same.

Sounds good to me. Should be cooler then Florida, dryer, and far less debris to deal with! Besides, I miss work, which is never a bad thing :-)

The last forecast I saw indicated temps would be in the low 80's with a chance of rain Friday

So.....dragging up an old thread. Now before LM itself, there was loads of threads about various bits and pieces - anything to know about Petit Le Mans? This is the most recent thread I can find in here! Was definitely going and now thrown slightly into doubt with the recent security measures and hand luggage restrictions etc, but be grateful for any other information anyone can throw in this direction.

**skycafe** · 13 Aug 2006, 23:51 (Ref:1681672)

What sort of information do you want, I am happy to try to assist.

Anything you may think may be useful...having never been to an American motor-racing event, nor Petits Le Mans, not sure what to expect!

**skycafe** · 15 Aug 2006, 00:01 (Ref:1682711)

are you planning on being in hotel/motel or camping?

Suze · 15 Aug 2006, 07:19 (Ref:1682908)

We're in a hotel about 20 mins outside which has been arranged for us - forget the name of it, but it's in a vineyard I think.
