Default Woo hoo! Ordered Petit LeMans tix!!

Just ordered 'em. Only available online through 5pm ET today. Plus, if you get tickets ($45 for Sat. + paddock), you get free tickets to see SPEEDVISION GT and Touring Car racing on Sunday.

Should be a good time.


[edit] Road Atlanta, Oct. 6 and 7, http://www.roadatlanta.com [/edit]

Your going to have a blast.......I went last year. Watching the ITR's coming down the S curves is so sweeeeeeeeeet! I am still thinking about going.

OH, You want to know the best part........You get to see 2 Touring Races and 2 GT races........Why? Because the other race was cancelled that was suppost to be at Lowes Motorspeedway.

I just read that on the Speedvison website under Worldchallenge.

Man, now you tell us. I think I'm more interested in the SpeedVision Touring series than AMLS. Let me know which days you guys are thinking of going.

DV- make a trip down to R.A. I wanna see that pimp Si !

Jason - hey, there's an idea... R.A. SE ITR meet. I don't know of any hotels out there and it seems silly for you guys to come further south (Atlanta 'burbs). Where's Pat staying? I guess the best thing to do is to check out http://www.roadatlanta.com and check out the places that they recommend. If they are sold out, let me know... I'll look into some hotels closer to the 'burbs.

Man, RA is such a haul for me...but oh well...i guess ill just wake up early.

A mini ITR meet would be cool....but we should all meet up there and put our cars together...coolers, chairs etc etc
and chill together and watch the races...sounds like a fun time...Guess ill make a bunch of sandwiches and bring some chips
and all.....

As the time gets closer to the race lets figure out a time to meet on Saturday.

Sounds great to me, TJ. Keep me posted if you can, guys. We're planning on staying in ATL Friday & Saturday night...

DV- who hopes he won't get shot at on I-85 this time...

Where's Pat staying?
We're camping, at the track I think. Hopefully it will be good weather! And 009 will not be in attendance - can't have too many thousand-mile weekends

We'll all be riding in a cushy-*** conversion van if there's room. If not, Drew and I will pimp Da Gun.

Sounds good to me. So, you can park your car close to the track? (yes, I'm a paranoid freak. ). If not, I might just bring the family truck (aka. run-over-everything).

I've got 3 beach chairs that I can bring for peeps. I can also bring some food as well. So,

ATTN: Every ITR owner in ATL meet up at R.A.

Hmmm...

On 2nd thought, we may ride down the Accord. Neutral is good We'll see...

As soon as you guys have an idea on where/if to meet up before the race on Saturday, please let me know

I know, I know...its only about an 1.5 hour drive for me.

I saw the REALTIME gys run there 2 years ago..or was it 3 yrs ago? It was when Galati was still in the ITR. It was a blast.
Got to walk thru the pits and all that and take pics, talk to all the drivers and techs....very cool.

Yes Sean, you can park right along the track anywhere you wish...its pretty cool...we stayed around turn 10-11..right by
the bridge before it starts coming down hill and to the start finish line.

Alright guys...it's just a week away and Mr. Procrastination has yet to book a room! To the ATL guys...can you help me out with some locations you'd recommend? I'd preferably like to stay within 20 miles of the track. Thanks in advance for the help and we'll see you boys next weekend!

BTW, what's the plan...did you guys want to try and meet up Saturday morning before the race(s) or after?

http://www.roadatlanta.com/accom.htm

Thats the page off the road atl site that list local hotels. If those are booked up I would say to call Road Atl and have
them recommend others...Im not from that area of Georgia so I dont know whats up there...sorry.

Chris: I still havent located Eric yet...I will call his parents resturant tonight...he should be working.

Garth - Reminder - we're camping @ the track. If that's an option for you and Tam, I'm sure you'd be welcome.
