I'll be there!

Of course ... I'll be in the Corvette Corral But you guys are welcome to visit!

I think a buddy of mine will be brining his new GT3 RS to the Porche Corral .. so maybe I'll hop the fence for a visit.

I wonder if the Ferrari guys will have their security guards in place again this year?

I'm intending to go. Last year I went on the Friday, missed Saturday due to family committments and returned for the Sunday. Not going to miss much on Friday. I intend to be their Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. I have a friend driving for the Autocon team so my allegiances will be divided. Looks like a reasonable weekend at the moment. Wondering if I should stay over or drive home overnight. Also wondering if anybody will go from the GTG in the GTA. I was there a few weeks ago for the first time. Thought I might go down there on the Saturday morning then go onto Mosport.

I'm planning on getting there in time for lunch Saturday and Sunday and staying until mid-afternoon.
I hear that the parade laps are open passing.

Anyone doing the parade laps?
Sounds like a PITA getting there for a driver's meeting just far little "girly" cruise.
