2008 Pettit Lemans..Roll Call!!

Alright!! Who is going to be there and when? What day are you planning on showing up? Camping? bringing a Rx7?

I want to "try" to plan to get as many rx7's and other rotaries together for some group pics. Maybe we could get into the Mazda Corral if they have one and get some parade laps in..? Who knows. More than anything I just want to meet other people and hang out.

I know alot of the OGTA crew from Ga. is showing.

Starting the list, copy and paste it with updated info:

1.) Dave-( BigIslandSevens) bringing the FD and maybe FC. Maybe camping?
2.)
3.)
4.)
5.)
6.)
7.)
8.)
9.)
10.)
11.)
12.)
13.)
14.)
15.)


I Can'T wait!!!!

Hey Holly! Elizabeth and I are trying to decide if we want to camp the entire time we are there or take up a room at the rotary hostile
I can't wait to see everyone again. On a side note,.. I found out that my Uncle is the transport driver for the PrimeTime Group #11 Viper I am trying to get in touch with him and see if he is going to be there the whole time. If so maybe I can swing a little tour of the team hauler and such. Pretty cool to find out since it is a dream of mine to work in this series. Part of the reason we moved back from hawaii

Just let me know Dave, you and Elizabeth are welcome. I don't have beds in all the extra rooms, just one extra bed other than mine and some air mattresses. So just be prepared and bring sleeping bags. Got plenty of floor space and bathrooms.

Good luck with the pursuit of your dream job.

I seriously doubt that. This is the pros, big time sponsored stuff. There will be no cars on the track, except those who are racing and qualifying. Usually parade laps happen at SCCA club events, or Walter Mitty and such.

We met at the booth last year, I was a talent scout/photographer for RA and Atlanta Performance Photography.
Unfortunetly I'll be in Chi-Town shooting a wedding during the race.
Give Gary Hunter my best!!
I'm sorry I'll miss all of you this year.

I wasn't up there last year, I guess I mispoke when I said again.

I think that Joe and Tom were. This will actually be my first Pettit. I was at the Mitty this year. The events seem to run together. Should I tell Gary who is saying hello?

WRONG Holly, they always have Corvette and Porsche parade laps, and I think they did an Audi one

Let's see... Sebring? yep. Mid-Ohio? yep. Mosport? yep. Petit? Last year was my most enjoyable/memorable Petit to date and to see TWO Pugs chase the R10's is tough to pass up. I'm trying to get a group together to drive down from Toronto. Fingers crossed!
