Good views from practice 2. After an overcast and cool start to the day, the sun came out and the weather is great.

**skycafe** · 10 Oct 2019, 23:57 (Ref:3933200)

Thanks for the race thread!

Red Porsches, White Ferrari...world is a different place.

Wish I was there. Everyone have a blast.

Is that the obstructed view ticket?

He clearly bought a ticket for a pumpkin patch, then scratched out the name and wrote Road Atlanta. Smart.

Also is it just me or are more people realizing Petit is in October so it's time for pumpkins and halloween decor? I feel like it's everywhere this year.

broadrun96 · 11 Oct 2019, 15:18 (Ref:3933310)

I don't know whatever you mean, says the guy with the pumpkins, 2 strands of pumpkin lights, skull lights, orange and candy corn colored lights on the canopies

broadrun96 · 11 Oct 2019, 15:36 (Ref:3933320)

Interesting start to practice, BMWs running fast times and Vettes and Risi toward the rear. The Caddies seem to be back at the front consistently across the lineup. Nasr throwing down a mid 1:08 to top the table early

We've been doing pumpkin lights for a few years and I thought about just grabbing some pumpkins this time. There's certainly a lot more around the circuit, most of which was placed by the property owners.

Great day so far, lots of on track action and great views. Also got to say hi to some other forum members, thanks for stopping by cybermotor!

seanyb505 · 11 Oct 2019, 20:39 (Ref:3933356)

Risi

broadrun96 · 11 Oct 2019, 20:55 (Ref:3933360)

Did we expect Risi wouldn't be at the front row? Down payment on return in 2020. And it's not like their drivers are paying slackers either.

Everyone is flying this weekend, DPi top 5 all beyond the lap record and in the 1:08s. It's a quick track in the sun

And Land gets hits with the IMSA rules stick again. DQ'd for opening the door open the red flag, aren't allowed to touch the car.

Hey, I found you folks when I recognized the hay and pumpkins!

TF110 · 12 Oct 2019, 01:39 (Ref:3933384)

2nd place Vette also dq'd from qualifying. Gonna start at the rear of the GTE field.

Akrapovic · 12 Oct 2019, 08:15 (Ref:3933425)

Bloody ACO disqua...wait. My bad.

**joeb** · 12 Oct 2019, 12:22 (Ref:3933479)

Perfect weather again this morning, but I really wish they didn't push back to start time of the race. I'm ready to go!!

Simmi · 12 Oct 2019, 15:53 (Ref:3933508)

Feel a bit out of the IMSA loop after missing the last four or five rounds - but finished work in time for the full Petit.

How much later is this starting than traditionally? Can't remember what time I'm normally watching until on Sunday morning (UK time of course).

I think it's only an hour later, unless my memory is playing tricks, PLM is normally a 4pm-2am affair, but this time it's 5pm-3am.

deggis · 12 Oct 2019, 16:07 (Ref:3933511)

And there's been some sort of small start delay now because green flag was supposed to be already few mins ago but only now cars are on formation lap.

NBCSN had more important programming again?

**joeb** · 12 Oct 2019, 16:08 (Ref:3933512)

Cars are on track for their formation lap.

Maelochs · 12 Oct 2019, 16:38 (Ref:3933518)

Pit stops already?

For the slowest two cars. Great racing in turn 1 and 2. Not sure how there hasn't been any contact yet.

Maelochs · 12 Oct 2019, 16:41 (Ref:3933520)

Risi vs Vette .... echoes of days soon past ......

Maelochs · 12 Oct 2019, 16:43 (Ref:3933521)

Nasr could open a textile factory with weaving like that.

I love it. Brilliant.

I wouldn't want to take something the size of the death star through a paddock that size.
