I was just wondering if anyone was going to petit le mans. I figured we could all park together. Ill be down there on friday and saturday.
 
You better beleive I'll be there. AGR was talking about going too, maybe. I'll be there both Friday and Saturday as well.

all the mazdas should park together somewhere

I'll probably end up driving around the infield quite a bit. It's a LONG walk from the turn 5/6/7 complex to 10. Where do you plan on parking?

It'd be cool to get a bunch together, although I probably won't be able to hang out much. I'll be there with a bunch of friends.
 
ill probaly park next to the bridge that crosses over the track before the start/finish line....its a great view from there but i will also walk around the whole track.

That would be turn-11....typically where I park anyway. What are you driving and what color?
 
yup i drive a yellow mp3... ill definately be there on friday and satruday. ill hopefully be there around 7 or 8 each morning. how about yall?
 
I'll be there for the whole event (on Friday and Sat.), so I'll be there early (probably hung over Saturday :) ). A yellow MP3 shouldn't be hard to miss, so hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with you.

I can't wait to see the STRANA truck races on Friday. The thought of semi-tractor trailor rigs (minus trailer of course) cooking down the back straight at 120+ MPH is incomprehendable. Turn 12 should be very interesting. I'm glad they're finally attempting to bring the series to the states.

I also understand that there will be a Mazda import show sometime Saturday as well.

Greg (AGR), if you're reading this, have you decided as to whether or not you'll be attending?

I didn't drive my Protege either. I used the company's Suburban as a people mover. I had quite a few people with me and the Pro just wasn't up to the job (~9 ppl). It's a good thing too considering how dusty/cramped it was. I'd have been pissed to get a door ding at an automotive event such as this.

As far as the STRANA trucks go, they were just awsome. That poor guy that kept spinning at turn 3, heh. It was amazing to see that beast lose its backend and go around. Poor guy got an applause from all of the folks on spectator hill everytime he made it through, heh. I've got a few pictures from the event that I'll be posting soon (mostly the Panoz LMP900 and SPEED WC Proteges).
 
ya i loved petit this year. i went into pit lane a lot and watched when they brought the dyson car back. i cant wait till next year
