Great Petit this year... Even better when the weather cooperates so well as it did last weekend. Next year I want to either rent an RV or take a trailer to hang the entire weekend.. I'd imagine it could get fun there in the evenings..

I was parked near Lewis in the center of the Porsche Platz & the only picture I have worth displaying was from when the Flying Lizard team signed my hood.

I was there as well. First time at Road Atlanta. Great weekend.

One way or the other I've got to get my car to that track!

Dave - That was your car I heard rumbling by the vendor village! Holly cow your car sounds great!

My son (8 yrs old) and I are huge ALMS fans and it was my first time at Road Atlanta. We arrived at the track on Friday morning just in time to see the IMSA GT race and ALMS autograph session. We car camped for two nights in between a sea of RVs and had a blast meeting all the race fans. Then we drove the LONG way home through a bunch twisty road near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

It was an epic trip for both my son and I.

Just a couple pics I took (sorry if you've seen them before)... (link to huge photo album)





















We also had a lot of fun on the way home...

The team came up to the Porscheplatz tent on Friday after qualifying. The were very informative and approachable.

Really great guys. Now I wish I had gotten them to sign my hood when the picture was snapped. Oh well, next year

great pics!

I was there, first time to Petit; it was awesome! great weather, awesome race, good ol' southern hospitality.

next year I'll do more with the PCA, PCNA etc. the Porscheplatz tent and corral looked impressive. somehow I don't think I would have gotten in with my Hyundai rental car
