We will be there Wednesday thru Monday, my son is home on leave so we will be headed down in a Hummer EV and leaving the Pcars at home, learned the last few times corral parking is not all its cracked up to be...

If your around the paddock send me a text.

I haven't been before so does anyone know if it's worth driving my GT3 there or will traffic basically make it a pain? I'm guessing it's best to get there early (7AM or so).

Unpopular opinion but I will take my daily driver. Just not worth sitting in traffic and wear out my left knee!

I wouldnt bring the GT3 if you dont have a corral pass, general parking is not good if you have a very low car. If you have a corral pass I would get there as close to 7am as possible. A stiff clutch and traffic up the hwy 68 entrance is not fun but hopefully won't be terrible that early in the morning.

Besides waiting in line every day for everything, what was the highlight of your Rennsport experience?

I got to meet @point2point , @FLT6SPD , @davg , @00 Scrub , and @smceo . Which was awesome. My highlight was geeking out over all the cars and getting to meet fellow 997 GT3/RS owners. Thanks for everyone who reached out.

RR7 is a wrap! Great conversations and loved catching up with all old and new friends alike.


Parked next to @point2point on Day 3 + Day 4. Great conversation and amazing to finally meet you Walter. Let me know if you are ever in town again. I will do the same when we visit your area!
Bonus shot of my good friend and twin @Breakthru in the background!


Bumped into @Elliotw44 at Baja! Wish we could have spoke longer in the pits but reception wasn't that great. Until next time! Safe travels back up to the PNW. 997.1 RS meeting 997.2 RS!
