Big thunder, asphalt shredding coming mid July R/A Wis.

Be sure to take a camera, okay? Post pics here?

I'd have to place road America and Laguna Seca as the top two road courses...

I go every year, this one too. Craig Bennet in the Shadow, Chris Macalister in the Mclaren ought to be a great race. Those guys are fast, both won here, impeccably prepared cars. Should be fun.

Hmmm, I should be in Minneapolis w my Airstream trailer then, tempting. Let's keep this thread alive w a roster of who is going!

Heading over Friday morning from Mpls. Would it make sense to drag a bicycle with for pedaling around Road America? No problem with walking, but thought it might be easier to check out different locations for viewing....

Thanks for the heads up! I missed this last year, and I'll see if I can squeeze it into my wekeend this year. I'd love to see the Can-Am race.

And yes, I think a bicycle can be kind of handy for getting around the track.

Positively a bike is the way to go. Though it may not be permitted to ride in the paddock. Doubt anyone will reprimand but should only walk with it. It gets crowded.

Go photo gonzo if thats your thing. Place is huge and you want to scope out the fast back areas, both inside and outside Canada corner, inside and outside of the carousel, T3, of course outside of T5 but do catch them flying long before that and on the straight. T6-7, Hurry downs... all terrific spectators delight. (Years back at this event, it was a hoot when I got passed by a McLaren F1 car..... on my right.... on that straight just cresting and before 5. Other highlight was scrubbing all four and right behind a Howmet turbine in the carousel. Good lord.)

There's infield camping for all kind - tent / camper. Consider Plymouth Rock campgrounds. The times have mellowed there and now very nice with a pool, showers. Leave your vehicle at the campground and ride the bike to the track, fast in or out.

Don't miss the Can-am cars parade on the roadway into town and Siebkens. My brother got his nutz off driving (revving) one in. hehe-

Meh, sounds boring. None of the cars are hybrids.

My neighbor down the street runs a couple cars there. A March and a Chevron. Kinda dorky, but he steals famous liveries and paints his cars that way. He now owns the old Stutz factory as a biz development. My friend, is one of his crew members. Here are a couple pics of the Chevron...
