I'm planning to arrive around noon, give or take a bit. If there's room by then I'll try to park in the Porsche Corral.

one week delay for ALMS now??? what is the world coming to! Speed channel really is getting week. Speed GT now is 1 month delay, and its on some budget channel, called Versa or Visa or Versis or something. what joke. got to watch the races on the webcast after their tv broadcast.

Mark, yes there is a one-week delay(well, 6 days) before the green flag of the race. It's a bit premature to be worried about what you may have missed, or to be looking for footage.

I ended up going at the last minute. I missed about the first hour of the race, but there was still plenty of action to catch during a 6 hour race. Here are some of my pics from Saturday:
