Haven't gotten mine yet either. I'm getting excited though.

Mine arrived on Saturday.
Next thing to do is start obsessing over the the weather forecast once we get a couple weeks out

Don't obsess. It's going to be dry, warm, cold, wet, windy, cloudy, calm and clear. That's all in day 1...

Yeah, cause there's ANY chance of it being cold

Yes!
I wish long term forecasting was spot on.
I'm claiming that one right now though

Got my ticket yesterday. Fwiw, it was 98 and humid here.

Got mine today while I was in "almost Florida" aka St Mary's Ga for work today. It was "warm" down yonder.

Well, I think I got mine. I saw a thick envelope from Road Atlanta in the mail pile and immediately removed it to a safe location. JP knows why...

Is that an instrument cluster from a Chrysler?

Would you mind choosing some light, easy smoking cigars for me to try (or make some suggestions for me)? I tend to go into the store and say "give me the shittiest tasting thing you have" every time. That's why I drop to Backwoods - shitty, but smokable, for me...

Found it. While loud mouth giant is accurate, this is just as accurate on you and what to look out or when trying to find out camp:

Just look for the previously posted Apache camper and a 6'-6" bearded cigar smoking Guinness cowboy hat wearing cooking machine and a bunch of drunks.

I was impressed, sort of

Looking at the poster, the motorcycle chicane at the top is missing. Wish it was gone for realz and wish they'd move the wall on the left (driver's right) back closer...

I guess I'll take that as a compliment. People constantly use that moto runoff area to get back on track, might make more cautions to put the wall there instead.

I think I'm with joeb there, it's a good keep them racing escape area and I've seen a few guys late apex and slam the wall just after the tires where it is now. Now moving the wall in to the old carts chicane that was removed? Big plus to me and gives us more space plus less swamp/stream crossing in the woods

I think I can find a few things, smaller milder than my usuals I think.

And the Guinness hat has been swapped for a waxed cloth drinking hat

We need some kind of a path and a footbridge

In trackside camping news, Georgia red clay sucks. We've sprouted a few clusters of clover but apparently a couple BMWs as well

broadrun96 · 22 Sep 2018, 18:39 (Ref:3852013)

Almost old Petit pace with the Whelen DP, 1:13s consistently with Reissman, Curran is co driver and set up man

Looks about right. Unless you bring in a few loads of topsoil and sod, I don't think anything is changing. but that might not be a bad idea bring sod instead of hay bales!
