HSR: The Mitty (Road Atlanta): 26 Apr - 28 Apr 2019
The 42nd Mitty at Road Atlanta is next weekend! This years featured marque is Alfa. I expect 10s of them! A quick glance at the entry shows only 4. Alfas are unfortunately an extremely rare sight around here, even in race car form. Hopefully this brings the street cars out of the woodwork!
Entry List: http://hsrrace.com/wp-content/upload...19-to-Post.pdf Schedule: http://hsrrace.com/wp-content/upload...Schedule-8.pdf This weekend will also serve as a 40th birthday party and bachelors party for my friends and Tenths posters fieldodreams79 and broadrun96! Looking forward to it! |

Thank y'all for letting us use this forum for this event for the past few years. If you have never heard of it, Goodwood put together this great video a couple of years ago to describe the event.

I left out a very important word: respectively. Please let me clarify that these two gentlemen are not both turning 40 and getting married to each other (not that there's anything wrong with that) but field is old and broadrun had a good run.

I've been packing and sorting the gear as usual. Tough with wedding stuff everywhere as well. And tougher trying to figure out what bourbon to bring and what to save for next weekend. It's a busy busy busy 2 weeks here but will be fun.
Looks to be a good one to year and some new cars for us to enjoy. Looking forward to the 2014 Rebellion vs Travis Engen's R8, 20 old Alfas and 2 TCR cars on the list, decent stock car list with old and new cars, Callaway Z06.R and others. Looks like just under 300 cars entered in a multitude of classes. It's my annual spring vacation and very much look forward to it every year now. Head up early on Thursday and watch them testing before everyone comes in Friday. |

You beat me to the joke! I won't be there but will be attending Monster Jam on Sunday to help celebrate from afar. I'll also probably be drinking bourbon and making bad jokes, so it will feel like I'm there.

Talking of the R-One, I hope you’ve noticed that we’re following your lead in Europe by having series for more modern cars. Masters have one series here- http://www.mastershistoricracing.com.../championship/ and another your side of the pond- http://www.mastershistoricracing.com.../championship/
France-based Peter Auto have their own take as well...... https://peterauto.peter.fr/en/grids/...ing-legends-2/ Certainly get some interesting cars! |

Was an interesting practice mix today, 2014 Rebellion R-One Toyota (makes a beautiful noise), vs 2016 ESM WEC Ligier vs 2009 Corvette DP (believe Eric Curran was driving). For multiple laps it was all out running and the Rebellion couldn't get too far away, and the Ligier couldn't get around Curran. GREAT fun for practice day

Does the Corvette DP use a N/A V8 engine? When I watch IMSA I think the current DPIs make a great sound- much better than the WEC LMP1s....

Edit to update If you believe the almighty Wikipedia: Vette DPs: The engine, built by NASCAR engine builder ECR Engines, is a 5.5L port injected*LS9[4]*with individual throttle bodies and a dry sump oil system. LMPC: All FLM09s use a production-based*General Motors*small block*LS3*V8*which produces approximately 430 horsepower (440*PS).* |

My favourite GTs are the V8 and V12 front engined cars, so obviously a BIG Corvette fan. There’s at least two in Peter Auto Endurance Legends. Can therefore confirm that am not excited about the new V6T mid-engine version!

The 5.5L is the same engine as the C6r minus direct injection and some other goodies. It's the same engine in the Cadillac DPi and is LS architecture. The 6.2L they ran in 2017 is LT architecture.

It's a stunning day here at Road Atlanta with more Alfas than I've ever seen! I hope to post some pics later today.
The stock car race is about to start with Bill Elliot on pole. |

Love the Cyclone and ‘Battlebird’....... Is the pic after the Mercury (#17) a Torino?
Although we do see the occasional one over here, also a big fan the 924 race cars (are they Carrera GTs?) |

I haven't been able to find anyone that could tell me. I was hoping someone here would know! They look like spec series cars. |
