Not sure about checks. I'll let all know tomorrow AM when I arrive.

2.1 hrs for me, but let's be honest....I am working from home today, so we can use terms loosely here.

Made it with no haircuts, fyi.

Nice! Glad the trip was safe and haircut free. Ole Miss and AL are 2 states to avoid haircuts fo sho.

I'm assuming beverage checks at the gate aren't a problem so far this week?

22 hours of work to go...

So there was a "well weathered skinned" man really eye balling my van at the entrance. I had all large coolers covered and nothing came of it. A fellow camper right behind me had a cooler in the open and he asked to look in it. He didn't dig, just lifted the lid.

Hide coolers and you should be good, I guess.

Nonsense and to hell with Hall County and their ordinances.

Hm...present plan is to take my wagon, which without tint accomplishes the fish bowl imitation really well. Wonder if I should pack a dummy cooler with some bud light to distract from the finer brews.

fieldodreams79 · 29 Sep 2016, 17:34 (Ref:3675972)

I don't get it.

Here's us in T4. Plenty of beer. joeb has some Bud light in a Saints colored cans. Again, I don't get it. We are next to the Vanagan and solar panels, under flags and the Water Oak.

That's a pretty sweet Mazda in the background there.

It doesn't take much to spook me lol

canamman brought by some goodies!

I'm willing to bet I'll be the only Road Atlanta patron in a Katsumasa Chiyo 2015 Season t-shirt tomorrow, seeing as it's my only piece of sports car racing attire that I own. :P

I'll bring a blanket that we can use to cover the cooler.

I have no idea what that is, but I'll keep my eyes open for you!

Hi Tenther trackside campers. Great seeing the T4 crowd
Thurs. for a 3rd year in a row. You guys have quite the
tradition going. Today I got in and out today rather quickly
after spending a couple hours in the paddock. Had some great
conversations with a lot of racing folks. Most are excited
for next year. The few teams I could get to talk about next year
thinks it will be Nov. when they will announce plans.
The LMP3 looks hot. It will run will the Prototype lites
for a 2 class race. Hopefully they are expecting 6 - 10
LMP3's. I will be on the front straight for the race
doing my normal race day routine. If anyone is up and at em
at 7:30 a.m. on race day, go cruise through the paddock.
There is something about airguns and tools rattling early in the
morning that just makes the world seem right for a moment.
Have a great race!

I haven't seen this many people here since the last ILMC race.

Wish I'd taken a picture from the hill at 1, most of the gene was 4-5 deep and hill was more full than ever

Thanks again to Andrew for all the setup and spot saving he did for us this week. Not to mention all the excellent cooking and hospitality. It was good to see everyone else as well. Looks like we have to wait one more week next year for the race.
