Well I want to go to the Petite LeMans in October at Road Atlanta. I mean

anyway I am sure people on the boards here have advice in terms of what to do. I want to camp cause its cheap. I have been to VIR many of times and have an idea of what to expect, but obviously this is a different track and so forth.

Thanks guys

Don't expect to sleep... At all. And take one hell of a lot of alcohol. If you can get in the esses (forget the turn #s), theres a little ledge you can camp on with an amazing view. Only 5 or 6 tents fit there though, so you have to get there on wednesday.

Besides that... sneak on the track at night, just to say you did.

i might go that early for the early camping.......maybe

thanks for advice. I just want to know the odds and ends; again I could tell ya everything about VIR 'cause I have been there about 10 times

I just really want to experience ALMS cars in person. So far I can say I have seen F1, IndyCar on 3 types of tracks, and of course Grand Am cars in person. ALMS prototypes are just bad ass though. and man the GT1 class


grunt power on those 'Vettes.

^^ With respect to racing, its the same as most series. You get to see the cars in the pits, talk to the mechanics, etc. The LMP cars are the tits.

Overall, I had a great time last year, and may go again this year if my brother does. The constant beverage consuming was the only thing that caught me off guard. Take a camera with lots of memory card space. You can take a lot of pics in 24 hours.

uh yeah i am going mainly for photo ops anyway. I guess you haven't seen my work at VIR.

Once I say I am going, my plan will be to add a lot more space with memory cards.
