It not a bad ride. South Carolina is under construction though. The whole state you ask? Yes, for the best part of a decade now. And it's decades overdue.

The darkness is not something I had thought about in my preparations for the later race date. I'm going to try to leave as early as I can on the Wednesday. But what does this mean for the race even will we have another hour of dark running or two hours?

North Carolina too. It's been worked on since the 80s from my recollection.

I think I mentioned the time change while texting my brother. Night practice will start in full dark instead of dusk, which I REALLY don't like.

I think it will be a full 4 hrs of dark running...

I do enjoy following this event, I just hope we have great weather. Great track, great challenge, especially at night

**Adam43** · 7 Oct 2021, 01:30 (Ref:4077266)

I probably should check the weather before deciding on which car to go in. If the weather is pants then come in the SUV - if only for another option of somewhere to sleep!

It's not just Road Atlanta - leaving Le Mans one year...

Oof.

I'm just thinking about temperatures right now. It could be absolutely gorgeous or downright chilly. Layers and firewood!!

**Adam43** · 7 Oct 2021, 02:25 (Ref:4077269)

Just bought some thermal jackets.

After a couple of drinks I’ll also have my beer coat on!

I've prepared by becoming the fattest I've ever been.

Bold strategy there.

I think i actually made my packing list digitally last year, so i need to look that up. I pack warm clothes every year just in case, but this time it seems like it will be necessary.

broadrun96 · 8 Oct 2021, 15:16 (Ref:4077486)

I’ve prepared by trying to buy a camper multiple times but no luck so far for what I want

**Adam43** · 8 Oct 2021, 15:45 (Ref:4077492)

That is proper prep!

RX7Mandingo · 8 Oct 2021, 15:58 (Ref:4077493)

Has anyone had thier tickets lost in the mail? If so whats the process on getting them? Still haven't gotten mine yet and want to make sure I have all my bases covered before I run outta time.

**Adam43** · 8 Oct 2021, 16:07 (Ref:4077496)

I suspect they just haven’t arrived yet. I’ve not had mine and not panicking.

Unless you know they are lost?

**Adam43** · 8 Oct 2021, 16:16 (Ref:4077497)

I lied. Arrived today.

Give it a few more days I’m sure yours will get there. Whereabouts are you?

Not for sure. I'm just an over prepper and known to get antsy when things start growing close. Stems from the time I went to the rolex and a job skimped out on paying me like $2500 they owed me so I had to borrow money from family in order to make the trip.

I live in Jacksonville, FL. Only about 6 hours from the track which is the main reason I'm getting paranoid.
Luckily I still have all my conformation emails and such and I'm sure the track will help out if it becomes an issue. Just might have to pick them up at will call

Wow. I know nothing of caravans in this part of the world, but that strikes me as a decent price. ????

broadrun96 · 8 Oct 2021, 21:17 (Ref:4077527)

It's MSRP minus a bit, they used to be more like cars and about 10-15 off. But we just bought the wife a new car and working on a brick oven. But I might still keep working her, my bank is at 2.5% loan for RVs so

S griffin · 8 Oct 2021, 21:38 (Ref:4077531)

Very odd shape, but definitely seems plenty of room on the inside

I might just give you one

And I prepped by listening Snoop, grilling steaks (properly) on the standabout near an Apache Camper.

I ordered over the weekend and mine came today. I could've picked them up from the RA offices yesterday as I drove right by the track. Contact the track. They're generally very helpful.

RX7Mandingo · 8 Oct 2021, 23:45 (Ref:4077537)

Mine just got here today. I got all giddy and excited when I saw my camping pass was #0007

You stole mine, think I had that 3 or 4 years in a row for Petit and The Mitty. Now I'm 317 I think

And Bond opened this evening I think, although I gave up after Quantum, he's not as fun as Moore or Brosnan

Give them a call or send an email. I promise they will take care of you the same day.

Also, serious question, can you fit in that?
