Petit Le Mans 2024 - Page 8

My thoughts and prayers go out to my fellow Floridians bracing for the storm. Found out my son has a mid-term exam Thur AM, so we can't head up until after that. Will probably be getting there sometime between 5 and 6PM that evening, uggg.

Will there still be daylight around that time? Sounds like with all camping being sold out, it's going to be immensely packed. Hoping to find something not too far from the restrooms at Turn 4 or Turn 5, but I'm guessing those areas will be the first to fill up? Should I even bother trying those areas? (have tent & canopy plus SUV)

Sunset is around 7ish so you should be good there. Dinner break around then and quali for Pilot guys and then night practice so it shouldn't be too crazy to drive around then

Thanks for the info! Glad to know we should at least be getting there before dark.

Thanks for the offer! Another member PM'd me earlier offering to try to save some space as well. I'll text that member when I get close to the track. I very much appreciate how friendly and helpful you all are here on this forum!

They're by special request only, and you must bring a snipe with you to claim one

Gerard C · Today, 13:18 (Ref:4230117)

Snipe in the hut then. I hope everything's secured because I can't imagine one of those pushed by a gust crossing the track, fully loaded. S happens, man!

Left the house just after 7:00 in God's time zone. Already in the second state. Two more to go

It's filling in quick, we made space for some guys and they proceeded to set up in our spot so that's nice of them

Thankfully my buddy already sent me pictures and has our spot claimed and set up

Turned my back and guys appeared in my camp right next to my truck. No asking, just took it. Next year corner stakes and tape
