We have a bunch of pictures in photo albums.

I remember after the 1996 race, we were leaving, and while walking through the food court, my dad grabbed a table sign for the Grand Prix Du Mardi Gras. I said, "What do you want that for?" He said, "You never know, this might not be bck next year." Sure enough, the race has never returned...

Man, I wish I would have been older to remember it better. I barely remeber a lot of it, but one of the things I remember most was looking out of the side of the parking garage at night and watching a pair of race prepped third gens (team cars) coming down a straight with their brake rotors glowing red, braking for the next turn. You see, I've been a rotorhead my whole life.

Man... Fond memories...
Well... I think you were so young that you remember wrong... the 787B never raced anywhere in the USA. You might be thinking of the Mazda IMSA 792P GTP or maybe one of Jim Downings Kudzus... The 787B raced at the 1991 24 hour Le Man race and won! Sorry to kill your memories...

!! Something I haven't thought of! Are our cars stuck in the area all day, weekend, whatever? If so, can I go hang out with some of y'alls? (Even thought that was the plan anyway)
I didn't think about that :P I love rotaries, but all day in one place is sort of iffy to the jay.
Peace

I think we'd be best deciding on location in person after the event. Hopefully Pomona, Fontana or Barona strips would be open that day.
