Petit Le Mans RollCall - Sept 29 - Oct 2

Had a great time for sure. Epic race. What a show of strategy and racing. The Porsche Hybrid was on pace and was posting comparable times to the GT2 class. The Peugeot did 204 mph on the back straight. Such a good time...

I was there all day Sat... drank continuously for 12 hours, I seriously don't even know who won.

It was a good time but I think I'm more looking forward to Sebring...

did you hear the collective groan of the crowd when Ferrari ran out of gas during the last lap?

It was a blast! Missed this rollcall... Still met a few of you. I like the venue a lot. Looking forward to next year.

I was sitting on the side facing the esses and heard the groan of the crowd. It was sad and funny at the same time...

We were on spectator hill, watching them come off the esses. That was one of those moments that "make" racing. The podium pic that Jalopnik posted was funny/sad also. I'll link it when I'm not on my phone.

I guess I was on turn 10A? Not a bad spot, and we also got to cruise around a good bit on borrowed golf carts and a Polaris. People don't seem to appreciate it when you drive around beer in hand screaming stuff out of a megaphone. Too bad.

Awesome. Total advantage having an ATV - we had ours and we were able to check out the whole track. It's the way to go! We got honked at a few times for making the most of our agility!

Sorry I didn't meet up with you all, it would have been fun. Unfortunately I was busy shooting. I put up some pics in my post in the Photography section, if you care to see.

I have been avoiding this thread for days. Been watching it in small chunks on the DVR, and I finally got through to the finish just now!
Peugeot and Corvette FTW!!!
Sorry, but I was one of the guys cheering when the Ferrari ran out of gas!

Corvette won? Awesome... when we were cruising around on the golf cart wasted I kept yelling "Chevy Racing! Get some!" and no one seemed on board with me... I felt good in my camo Chevy hat though so that's all that matters.

Don't tempt me. I just may dooooo itttt!!

PS that track SUCKS to walk.

Holy crap, I will NEVER do that again without the assistance of an ATV or golf cart. What in the hell is all this hill business you guys have in Georgia? Much less, slippery clay hills?!

We definitely don't have any of those here in Florida! lol

Aside from that, everything else rocked!
