Petit Le Mans
Anybody going to the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta this weekend?
I plan to go Friday for practice & qualifying and then Saturday for the race. It's 1,000 miles or 10 hours, whichever comes first. It should be a great event this year with the Battle of the Diesels! The mighty Audi R10's and the new Peugeot 908's. LOTS of top cars and top talent... Penske will have 3 Porsche RS Spyders Andretti is bringing the Acura ARX-01B to be driven by son Marco Rob Dyson will have 2 Porsche RS Spyders Team Audi The Intersport Lolas Corvette Racing Doran Ford GT-R Ferrari 430 GT's There is even a Hybrid this year in the race! The Corsa Zytek 07S LMP1 car. Here's a video of the hybrid on the test track: http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1774272321 Many of the top sports car and open wheel drivers will be there. Allan McNish Nic Minassian Helio Castroneves Sascha Maassen David Brabham Scott Sharp Dario Franchitti Adrian Fernandez Chris Dyson Butch Leitzinger Tony Kanaan Marco Andretti Gil de Ferran Scott Dixon Johnny O'Connell Jan Magnussen Ron Fellows Max Papis Mika Salo ...and many many more Loud noise, burning rubber and the delicate scent of race fuel. Yum! Sounds like fun to me!

Yep- some of us Miata owners will be presenting the drivers during the parade lap prior to the green flag.
Be sure to wave |

Aren't they running a "green" race where everything is alternative fuels - biodiesel, E85 and whatnot?
