Camping at Petit Le Mans
I have been to the Petit Le Mans race now for several years, but this is the first year where I have my own RV. I did not get the tickets in time for the reserved spots, but they do have Non-reserved spots, which I bought. I have a 38 foot diesel pusher class A.... I went up to the NASA event last weekend and used that as an excuse to scout out a few good sites that were big enough for the coach.
Several questions:
For those of you who have camped on the non reserved spots:
When do I need to get there to get a good spot? ( RA people say that folks start lining up the Sat before the race..... do I really need to get there that early to get a good spot?)
Does RA have a honey wagon that will come around and drain my grey/ black water tanks? ( if I have to camp out a week before the event)
If I do come early, ( a few days before the gates open up), is it a "party" atmosphere outside the gate?
Once they let you in, would you leave your RV there locked up for a few days before the race....or would you not trust it enough? ( come back and find it on blocks???)
Thanks in advance
Brad

I cannot answer any question other than the last. From my experiences at RA, there is a functional security apparatus in place that I, personally, would feel comfortable leaving it locked for a day or so.

Deal, I will have a beer ( or crown and coke) with your name on it... We will either be in the non reserved RV area off of turn 10 ( outside the track), or inside of the track, just before the esses, in the family camping area... dont knwo which will have an open spot....
