Anyone going to Road America this weekend?

I'm 99% certain that I'll be there Saturday. Sunday is less promising. I might even bring the 951

I will be there Saturday only & watching the race at home Sunday. I think, based on conversation at the vinatage races, that Dave Kochinski(Werk1) will be there also.

Will be there turn 5 Sat and Sun. Driving in from Albany, NY. Leaving tomorrow. Hope to meet you. Look for 87 blk coupe with deleted rear wiper and third lite. Can't wait to hear the R10 and am hoping our boys give them a fight for the win.

Well, it looks like I'm riding with my best friend in his Impreza WRX. He's going to drive the track. I'm kinda nervous about driving the 951 as I just did some major repairs...

I'll be wearing my white Porsche ballcap.

PM me for my cell number or direct connect number if you want to meet up.

To those interested:
1:00 or immediately after the lunch tour at the concession to the left of Porsche Park as you face the track.
I will be in a white shirt with a green/khaki Lynn Lake Fishing cap.
Hope to see a few of you.

Well, I met up with Mike and Dave, had a few beers, and talked for a good two hours. Good times.

Some pictures:

That's a great track ... wished I was there but had to settle for watching some on TV.

Looks like there was plenty of on-track action today. Not sure what the Porsche LMP2 drivers were thinking as they crossed the line - I'm sure Roger had a few words for them

I didn't see any Carrera GTs. I did catch a Ford GT during the touring lap...

I also caught a few Lamborghinis and a Ferrari GTO.

I should have brought my 1000 mm and SLR instead of my HP point-and-shoot.
