Microwave? They all have that, it's got a mfking oven in it man, an oven for the wife. And yes, that made her happy

It is just over 8' at the peak and that's a true queen 60x80 mattress. I've done my research. Important to me is no shtter to be full, I don't want extra bits I don't want or need. Has hot water and external shower wand I can extend and use a shelter if needed

Problem is Morgan's market schedule takes almost the full week for production and weekend markets. Hard for us to get a couple weekends of use and 2 track weekends. But man I want it

Look at the baller over here. $18k is pocket change to the Brit.

[Adam43]

Yeah, why not buy two.

[broadrun96]

If we don't get today's weather for Petit I want a refund.

Oh wait, Tues to Thurs sucked so maybe not

There was drainage ditch cleaning and additional gravel added at Casa dela Field yesterday. This week was a mess and its still sloppy so yeah, gimme sun and I can handle whatever temps we get!

More talk of mud! My previous picture of Le Mans mud was a useless one. Camping in 2016 photos. Quattro.

Is IMSA radio broadcast at the circuit?
Do I bring the radio ear defenders?

Yeah, track radio is 98.1, IMSA radio for the race I believe, other coverage for the rest of the races. I use a couple digital radio mp3 players, decent reception.

Look at the actual soil, ummm we don't have that here FYI. Your sht will be orangish red even if it's dry. And we don't do those even straight rows, it's a free for all.

If the weather is bad we can come in an SUV. Except, it’s er a FWD only! Not like the Quattro above! What is the point of that?

It's red clay, it really doesn't matter what you drive, you're not going anywhere.

Nah, you might end up further down the hill, minus lower body parts on the car. And your freshly cleaned suit flung in the mud from the trunk

Does anyone know if there's any sort of vendor list available? I'm just curious what kind of options there will be for food/drinks/merchandise

[broadrun96]

Honestly very little food outside of a fried carnival trailer, Sonny's BBQ, some ice cream and maybe a Papa Johns trailer in Vendor Village. Whatever the sponsoring Bud distributor is pushing this year will be in their area across from Vendor Village. Talked to a few vendors in 2019 and many were open that it was their last year, the prices were far too high. The Mitty this spring had VERY few, used to have a fairly full area at the top of the hill. They expanded and paved more of it but now it looks sad and empty. Maybe they will get more turnout this year but honestly I would prepare to bring everything you need, or duck out to Publix. Or go to the support side and hit the Paddock Grill, don't worry, you WILL NOT forget it's there over the PA.

I've never seen an actual list published before myself. You could always try emailing the track, they are VERY responsive and quick, I've gotten a response at 930 on a Friday evening from them, info@roadatlanta.com

[S griffin]

So it's one of those events where you should bring your own food? At least there's some things there you can have as a treat.

[RX7Mandingo]

I'm already planning on being a bunch of food to cook, was just hoping there'd be good options for snacks as I'm known to eat all day, especially when I've had a few drinks. Maybe I'll bring a bunch of boiled peanuts to have ready at the camp site.

[fieldodreams79]

Even though I'm sure we've spoken about it (as I camp w/ broad), I guess I'm just now grasping with what he wrote previously in this thread. There used to be local places (including a Twin Peaks ) with 'food trucks' or trailers, the Patron hospitality area, the Aussie Meat Pie place, a spot on spectator hill and yes, the carnival / fair style food (where one can get a frozen corndog). Never been to or tried the paddock grill as we've just about always bring what we need.

Is Sonny's still there? Not that I'd call their product 'food'.

To add another wrinkle to the late in the year race. It is going to be dark when i arrive.

Only thing better than sitting up camp in the dark is sitting up camp in the dark and in the rain! Hoping it's just dark!!

[broadrun96]

Yeah, well his camp is a tent for a child, an air mattress and then unload his cheap hooch so think he can manage in the dark. Fewer haircuts and you can make better time sir.

Remember, time does change the weekend before the race as well

I take an appropriate number of haircuts, and as you said, with the time change it's going to be dark!

Also have the added difficulty of not knowing exactly where I'm going to be setting up with the oak tree out of contention.

[broadrun96]

You'll have space, I paced it out and somehow I have an extra 8ish feet over our neighbors spot.

I don't know if I can explain how stupid this is. I need to replace the old tan canopy this year, I can replace a piece and the cover but may just get a new one. But in my search I found this from Ace Hardware.

Yes Mr field you'll have to deal with huge picture. But it appears they added a grommeted drain hole in the usual space behind the side rail that catches water. So you get a steady stream of water UNDER the canopy? Seems like engineering a solution that could be fixed without defeating the purpose

Time change causes haircut schedule adjustment. You must plan accordingly.

[S griffin]

Well hopefully enough barbers are flexible to change appointment times, but it's not always easy

[broadrun96]

2021 keeps delivering turds, not the best artwork they've had
I'll probably still buy a shirt since I need more 3xls, goddamn good food

Oh, and you can see the new design for the RV parking at the top of the Esses in it. And the tree dead center, ok it's multiple trees, is our camp.

[RX7Mandingo]

Does anyone know if there is a driver listing for any of the teams available? Me and a friend were planning on getting some shirts made to commerate Mazda's last race and I wanted to incorporate the drivers into the design somehow.

[broadrun96]

I would guess Ticknell and Jarvis as all season, I wouldn't expect the entry list for another couple weeks.
