Many thanks

I think that's it but they put signs up with frequency all over the place if I'm an idiot as per usual

I'll also be having a seafood boil Saturday around 3 or 4 at the mazda camp. All are welcome to come by

That sounds absolutely delicious. Need any additional additions to the boil? I can provide. Hate to show up empty handed.

Where exactly is the Mazda camp by the way.

I usually set up by the bathrooms at the end of the esses. You'll know me cause I'll have a bunch of mazda flags hanging from my awnings. If all else fails shoot me a message on Facebook. I got an event page "petit le mans @ road atlanta fans"

JT240Z · 4 Oct 2023, 13:41 (Ref:4179623)

I think I know exactly where that is. It's the bathhouse at the intersection of the two roads.

Do you need any contributions to the boil? I can bring shrimp, crab, scallops, oysters... Whatever you want.

JT240Z · 4 Oct 2023, 13:44 (Ref:4179625)

Anyone have any insight on how the pit area will be run this year. Normally you could walk between the hot pits and the garages but last year there was no room, and the garages were facing away from the track. Made it harder to see the activity in the hot pits. Rick (Humphrey) said they understood and would attempt to get IMSA to improve on the situation.

That's the spot. Right now on the menu I got 2 pounds of shrimp, 2 pounds of andouille sausage, and 4 pounds of snow crab. Seafood wise the only thing I don't eat is oysters so feel free to bring whatever and we can throw it in the pot

No idea, but this principal has been applied to other tracks this year. I think teams asked for easier access to their haulers from the pits perhaps? I do miss that alley between haulers and the pit fence though.

Yeah it seems like that's the new IMSA layout. It's not like you could do much along there after 21, last time I was down there almost all the pro teams had barriers or parts to keep you off the fence anyway

I hate that thieves a few years back forced the closure of the pit areas overnight. Loved going to the paddock Friday night and watching folks thrash on things thanks to Dyson reliability or Scott Sharp.

I more needn't the story behind people stealing stuff. I know usually the teams will just hand stuff out off wrecked cars if you ask nicely.

But there was that fiasco after this years rolex when someone stole the whole front end off one of the prototype cars

broadrun96 · 5 Oct 2023, 17:04 (Ref:4179843)

The last few years most of the signage on the pit hill path has been cut away and gone Friday evening I mean I would try Saturday post race but Friday before the race? Just uncool

**joeb** · 5 Oct 2023, 18:25 (Ref:4179849)

I opened up my tickets yesterday to make sure i could, and noticed the parking pass doesn't open in the same way. I think i hit "print" but then nothing happened. Gotta love paperless tickets.

Yeah, I think it was crap like that. Stealing equipment and generally being an A hole so the rest of us have to suffer

Yeah, you have to go to ticket and then back to open all the tickets. They didn't give me my camping pass with my RV pass too, haven't heard from Abe yet so I have all the space

I figured it out, but it is a convoluted system at best.

Weather has possibility of rain on Friday morn but other than that looks good.

Found my new trailer for the site

You wouldn't be able to fit in it

Now that would get some attention. Just guessing that they would probably do a search.
