How quickly the season goes by…

Always one of my favorite races of the year. Let’s have some fun.

Weather and crowds look good!

Since Porsche is staying with IMSA , I am supporting
Penske Porsche's for this 10 hour rodeo. Just got
off the phone with the son in Nashville and I asked
him what his earliest memories of Petit and he said
"The Audi / Peugeot late nite battles".

What a crowd there!

Mediocre start. I'm glad this isn't a 2:40 race.

I haven't seen any BlueChew ads. Sports car fans must not need it.

This has to be a first at Road Atlanta:

Overall this appears to be a positive indicator for the health of the series, but I hate it for those fans out there today. IMSA fans might have to start planning their days like NASCAR fans had to do in the late 90s.

It's sold out.

Road Atlanta is at capacity.

@Kiante , this is your third sesson, right? Can you tell a difference in attendance?

Oh goodness yes.

I thought it was bad last year, but the grid walk felt F1 esque. Fans are out here in droves and the campsite has been filled to the brim.

Much classier series.

Been going since '72 and have never seen a sell out.
That grid walk did look packed. Glad its dry and nice.
