Petit Le Mans 2021 - Page 2

I think we have been moved to a more grass-like area with the new plan. Last year the space across 10A from you was taken from camping and made a corral and actually had no camping signs. If they start forcing everyone to "camping areas" some one in the office will likely end up hurt. I think it is coming from well above the track people so I try not to give Adam too much grief, just let me know how much it sucks.

Especially since Michelin money went to fancy flowering fruit trees, gardenias and camilias instead of bolts to hold the toilets to the ground or vaccum flush so they don't get backed up. But good news, the water is so hot it burns the dirt and sweat off of you in the showers.

I just hope you get enough space at the new campsite. It needs to be an improvement on the old. But like you I can see problems. I just hope things are sorted out beforehand so everyone can enjoy the racing without worrying about things like space

It's a shame really that the spectators tend to have been neglected, hopefully the facilities can be improved in the future

And now the race has been moved back a month:

This is unsatisfactory.

Quit yer btchn' you'll attend and you'll like it.

**Adam43** · 5 Mar 2021, 00:35 (Ref:4038816)

Blummin’ ‘eck. Although it increases the chance of people coming over for it.

S griffin · 5 Mar 2021, 14:52 (Ref:4038968)

I'm sure there will still be a big crowd, no reason why this season should be different from other years apart from 2020

fieldodreams79 · 5 Mar 2021, 22:05 (Ref:4039090)

Heard from a guy on a jobsite that Talladega is limiting camping this year and attendance. It's a long ways off, but I hope that doesn't happen at PLM.

I think by the time Petit rolls around Georgia won't require anything so they'll open it up.

Have to wonder what ticket sales have done to their decision to block out seats with a reason other than no one wants to buy

They didnt last year with the Post Man being the "mass spreader" event.

I still laugh at that. The hipster trash man and Mark.

I forgot about hipster trash man

Anyone besides me heading to Sebring next week?
We're heading out on Monday. Going to crash at our friend's beach house on Pine Island for a couple days then head on down to the track early Wednesday after picking up the RV.

I wish!

You are renting an RV eh? do you have an rv spot reserved on the fenceline? I always wanted to do that at Sebring, and sit up on the roof watching everything. I imagine you could see most of the track from up there.

We have one reserved spot on the turn 3 fence.
We also have the main compound setup in greenpark close to the walk over bridge.
Total of 2 RVs and a smattering of tents/canopies.

Nice, the plumbing repairs ruined my fall surprise of buying a camper. Since I have the rv spot I figured maybe I'll look. Good God new popups and travel trailers are pricey

Damn, that rv with stair access to the roof is awesome! Because as i typed my previous message i thought about my drunk ass falling off while trying to climb down a ladder!

Hellz yeah!!

Enjoy!!

For those who made the TransAm race at Road Atlanta over the weekend, how did the stakeout of the RV spaces look? Will there still be space to camp in the rear? (phrasing boom)

broadrun96 · 30 Mar 2021, 17:34 (Ref:4043953)

The joeb campsite is now off site so you may be screwed or ask the usual neighbors nicely. Our side of the tree is the dividing line, the map was garbage and well off. Should be plenty of room otherwise and space to park everyone leMans echelon style along the road to tick off the Saturday only people.

Thanks, I don't need to camp under the tree, but if the tree is blocking half a spot I don't see how anybody could park a camper there?

Hey, don't point out the flaws in the system

S griffin · 3 Apr 2021, 14:52 (Ref:4044478)

I’m sure people can find a way around it

We have roughly 150 feet of frontage on the road. That's not a joke.

S griffin · 4 Apr 2021, 09:10 (Ref:4044557)

Wow that's a lot!

Yeah, when I saw it last weekend, I thought it was a joke

That is pretty awesome, but didn't we have the same in the past for less money?
