I'm really excited as this is my first major race I've been able to make it to! A friend and I are going and just wanted to see if anyone else was going to be there. He's a member of Porsche Club of America so we've got general admission and paddock passes along with the PCA hospitality tent. If anyone else is gonna go that'd be neat to meet some other enthusiasts from here.

Parking is a MAJOR bitch. Not only it's hard to find, but on race day, i think they close some of the streets that goes to one of the bigger structures. I was there for Formula D last year, and I had to park at the Pike and walk about 2-3 miles to get to the event. It sucked.

^Public transportation FTW.

I never go anywhere near major events with my car...plus it lets you have a few beer.

oh man I'm already jonesin for another race to go to lol. It was awesome, all the drivers and mechanics that we talked to were more than willing in answer questions and spend a few minutes talking about stuff. Here's some pictures and videos that my friend and I took.

Seemed like a good race and close battle for GT2 at the end!

Are AM Racing not doing a full season this year? I notice the 007 car is the V8 Vantage.
