This is also correct.

It's the latter. Thought you hit the ones down by the paddock?

Yeah. Hopefully it's cooler....looking forward to it.

Yup, we got lights. I sanded and finished then this afternoon.

Thought about going up just to check on the grass but yard work took over the day yesterday so I'll have to wait a couple weeks for the fall historics. No entry list yet but expect the same as the Mitty, minus the Shadows.

Too bad. I think you would've fit right in with the Gridlife crowd.

JHamilton and I did some Apache painting. A bit warm. I am sure yard work was fun!

Wish I could do the historics, but alas, it's crazy fall time even though it's not fall yet.

Damn, I missed Gridlife!

I guess I better start warming up my cornhole arm over the next month. Hope that sounded as dirty in print as it did in my mind.

It did. I need a shower in the T4 comfort station after reading that.

scottypinthemix · 31 Aug 2016, 17:21 (Ref:3668811)

OK, here is the way I see it...
There is a big tropical mess about to attack the south. I'm glad to see that we're getting it out of the way 30 days before the race instead of during the weekend of the race.
Let's all be thankful that it's getting this stuff of way now, and declare that PLM weekend will be full of perfect weather.
I think we all deserve a good race week after '09 and last year.
Just sayin'

fieldodreams79 · 1 Sep 2016, 10:47 (Ref:3668897)

Looks like we'll just get a bunch of wind up here. Hopefully the southern part of the state and FLA won't get hit too bad.

I'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best!

My ticket should be arriving soon...

broadrun96 · 1 Sep 2016, 19:39 (Ref:3669010)

Hoping my ticket shows up soon to confirm the early entry pass myself. Already thinking ahead about food, have a few cans of biscuits and going to try cinnamon rolls one morning too. Thinking about a couple breakfast bakes with sausage, egg and potatoes, probably one Italian with tomato and one with sage sauage and cheddar. And yes, will be making the apple spice and chocolate cherry desserts as well.

First dose of tropical influence here I think, wind and a few HEAVY but quick showers about 30 min ago in Tucker.

You're making me hungry.

Breezy and drizzly in Athens.

I guess tickets won't be here this week. I got a lovely email from RA:

Quote:

Dear Race Fan,
Due to unforeseen circumstances with our ticketing process, Petit Le Mans presented by Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resorts tickets will not be mailed until September 17th. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience this causes and will get your tickets to you as quickly as possible once received.

broadrun96 · 6 Sep 2016, 19:42 (Ref:3670597)

Damn, they haven't emailed me anything about the delay. Think they'd tell their Ultimate fans, especially as I want to verify my entry time and steal our usual site. Hell, they can save the postage and I'll pick it up on the 17th since I'll be up there for the day for historics.

If you email ms Joyce you might be able to work something out. jsmith@roadatlanta.com.

That was in the 2nd paragraph of the email that I didn't paste

Actually, this could be fun. List all the vehicles you have driven to Petit in.

Here's mine:
93 Integra
98 626
08 Mazda 3
08 Matrix
12 Mazda 3

Matt · 7 Sep 2016, 11:12 (Ref:3670725)

Lot's of rice in that list. Mine has a lot, too.

94 Ford Aerostar
04 Ford Ranger
03 Ford Ranger
03 Subaru STi
01 Subaru Legacy (I think....)
03 Honda Odyssey
03 Honda Pilot

I won't list bicycles cause no one cares!

Haven't decided which of the last 2 will come again...

I could ballpark the others, too.

Rice is a staple is Louisiana.

Matt · 7 Sep 2016, 12:58 (Ref:3670741)

IF I WERE TO GO.

It would probably be a fairly new Chrysler Minivan, because I'd pick it up from the airport and then drive it there and camp in it for 5 days.

Interesting question to ponder.

Petit Era Vehicles:
'90 Volvo station wagon
2000 Ford Ranger 4x4
'12 Dodge Ram

additionally:
First car I ever had and first drove to RA in'77 - Camel GT era -
'74 VW Dasher

broadrun96 · 7 Sep 2016, 17:58 (Ref:3670792)

Does Fields get a Mitty exemption for additional craziness, including touring (ok, riding and praying around) the track?

Pathetically short list:

95 Suburban (extra comfort when camping in line Tuesday)
14 Ram (not as comfy a sleep in the front bucket seat, but not this year)

3 short weeks and then

Can't wait.

I miss the green aerostar and green suburban

Any ride in a 50s MG is terrifying...

I hated that car sooooooo much. I still hate that car. Except that it was free, that was nice. Everything else was strait trash.

I didn't realize you had gotten a second 3.

Nothing but 'domestics' on my list, but only one was made in the US:
01 Chevy Cavalier with rear spoiler for downforce/keep the trunk lid on.
05 Pontiac GTO
94 F-150
11 Ram 1500

That's pretty posh. Don't freak out when it says Pacifica on the ticket. I guess they decided to change the name because no one recognized Town & Country?

Today I learned VW made a car called the Dasher. It's a first generation Passat/Audi 80 if you don't want to look it up.
