Yes, pit lane and paddock. Teams will have to take down their stuff so other people can come in, or share space\equipment. There will be quite a few more trailers at each race, where is everybody going to park? Moving cars around, teams getting their tires from the Conti tent, gas, motor homes, etc.
Sweet!
True. I suppose it depends on the support races involved in each weekend. Everyone is going to have to share paddock space at some point because they are all going to have to be there for practice/qualifying etc.

I am very pissed off that Mid-O is off of the schedule! We have Watkins Glen and Mosport make sense to me! Detroit and Indy can kiss my ass! They're the worse when it comes to viewing a race! VIR, is cool and we have a rather large following. COTA, caters to money, so Mazda owners will be S.O.L! Indy, they really don'tpromote the event and they could give a rats ass about corrals!
As I stated in a FB post USCR=Cleveland Browns...."wait til next year"....Next year nevr comes!

Thought I might as well post this in here too...
What would make my car randomly go from 17.5 to 12 AFR and back and forth while just cruising at 60mph around 3k rpm? And the car shutters too and acts like it is going to die ( It did turn off once, but fired right back up ). Then when I give it gas and run 75-80mph it runs fine and then back down to 60mph it runs fine. Really random and doesn't throw a code. Bad gas or really weird tune related?
I know she is going to blow sooner or later, but was really hoping for later

Sounds like you need a tune! You have the SSAFC, correct? You may have to re-load the MAP that you started with. Mazda's ECU's will try to go back to the OEM settings.
Good to know. Thanks Marlon. I don't know what map it came with though when I bought it. She ran great for a year, but now it's horrid when building boost.

Excitement to top off the menchies night on the lawn. We're sitting there and a dbag in a crossfire blows by us heading east at a good 90+mph. We're like where are the cops when you need them. Then to our delight comes the popo folllowing him at a safer rste of speed. So we're sitting there talking about the idiot and lo and behold, he comes back past us heading west at a normal rate of speed with the popo behind him. Still no lights on. They got stopped at the light and after the light changed, a block down the lights came on and we all cheered. Lol oh the excitement! Then Marlon takes a hike down there to see what the idiot looked like and ends up giving an eye witness statement. The cop even said when he was first following him he lost sight of him, then all of a sudden he sees him coming back toward him at such a high rate of speed he couldn't get him on radar because he blew by too fast. What an idiot. Wonder if he turned around to try to impress us. Fail!!
You aren't talking about the on ramp, right? I've been going a different route to work lately. Gotta switch it up just in case

And to make this bad schedule even worse. Not all of the classes will compete at all of the events. I thought this "merger" was supposed to make sports car racing better, imo it is taking a step backward. I'm starting to think that NASCAR/the France family just wanted out of road racing and sold out to Dr. Panoz/IMSA. It's a shame if you ask me. No race at Mid-Ohio? It makes my head spin too much to even put my disappointment into words. The only race I might like to go to would be Indy but with it being a one day show with Nascar I will just save the cash and stay home. No races for me next season I guess.

So, I'm headed down to Tennessee this upcoming weekend for the gf's college 10yr reunion and I think we're gonna venture down to run the Tail of the Dragon. Any words of wisdom? I've heard it's a pretty fun stretch of road.
