So I would start looking in the area between turns 3 and 5 first. I have even noticed a few pretty good camp sites in the woods along side the road that connects turn 2 to the turn 5 area. |

Another hint... wear clothes, especially, shoes that you don't mind turning orange from the red clay. Not as bad as it used to be, but if it is dry, you will get the dust and if raining, you will get the mud. It's always a reminder months later of your trip to RA as you find red dust or mud hanging around.

Fine investment. You will be officially a part of history!
Enjoy every decibel. Only one secret, turn 6 at 7:55 p.m. at Thurs. nite practice. Stand there for 30 mins and record how many times you say - OMG ! |

Awesome, Steve! Glad you are going to make it this year. It ain't a real PLM without you in T7.

K&N Race - 3:30 p.m. Friday
K&N Race - 3:30 p.m. Friday
I was doing some studying up on the K&N series. Really excited to see how these young drivers handle a road course , for many of them, their first time. Green flag at turn 2 and 3 should be exciting. Couple of young ladies in the 21 and 34 cars. Here is the link: http://hometracks.nascar.com/drivers/7 |

I'm curious to see them as well, think practice 1 will be at T4 unless I really feel like an early breakfast, but one session has to be split between 1 and 10 and with 3 sessions on Thurs I'll have time to move around. Will be interesting to see how oval track drivers handle braking for both high and low speed corners since this is the only road course of their season. They have a decent mix from a flat .25 mile (that's got to be TOUGH) up to Daytona, Bristol and Richmond. I'm hoping since it's the last race and they have all run together all season they can spread out for practice 1 and get the feel of the track and their cars. Let them mix it up in later sessions but track time is vital to get a good race Fri, and good length with 90 minutes to start at T1 and catch some at T10.

If I go I'll just hang out at the campsite at turn 10 for the support stuff. There's usually a high amount of drivers messing up there in the minor series. Plus, my beer will be close.

Any thoughts or ideas about possible PLM entries beyond what we saw at the ALMS COTA race(excluding GTC)? Right now I figure just the #12 Lola Toyota and the #98 Aston Martin. But those are two pretty darn good additions.

I would think the Aston has a better chance as perhaps a way to get their feet wet for next year. Maybe less so with the potential P2 entries. |

Steve, you were there in print (and spirit I'm sure) last year, Ben printed up a lifesize cutout replica of you and put you in a chair so you could watch from the station (you probably saw the pics I imagine). I'm not able to make it this year to flag, have fun!
They took the youngest flagger on the team, his first pro event, and made him lay down on the pavement just past the line for the photogs, traced him out in chalk with a camera outline also, and whenever a photog would start to inch past we'd point at the deadman outline. That crew is a blast to work with. They really missed you. |
