Petite LeMans October 3rd-6th @ Road Atlanta

Fans attending the 10th Anniversary Petit Le Mans Oct. 3-6 will become part of the biggest celebration in Road Atlanta history. From a high energy, dazzling pre-race ceremony to an extensive fireworks show at the checkered flag, the race will surely be memorable.

CrowdIt already is one for the history books. What began as a vision for the future of sports car racing by entrepreneur Dr. Don Panoz is now one of the world’s most significant sports car races – joining the legendary ranks of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.


Who's in?!

I'm putting it down on my schedule already so I can make sure to be off.

Thanks for the heads up. Let me know when the next Mitty race is.

Yeah, I got that whole week off so I may come out and and stay with someone mon and tues before the race and then bring my "new tent" out for the race.

p.s. I need a tent compact enough to pack onto a scooter! I'm going to make the trip on the honda 250!

The guy I bought the scooter from was bigger than me (320-340) and he got it up to 84mph so I'm not worried about setting the cruise at 70mph. I'll also have to build a rear storage compartment for the back so I can hold some clothes and supplies. I'm also probably going to take the long way going 85N through Montgomery...i-20 is full of a lot of steep hills and that's not fun on a loaded scooter! Traffic would hate me.

anybody in attendance who would like to park in the corral, do parade laps and "possibly" get mazda motorsports sponsored tickets. please put you're name and car in a runnign list and I can transfer it over to the other forums. Matty, we'll have to rebadge your scooter for the corral.

I can see it now.... Matty's rebadged scooter leading the pack. The mental image is so funny, I think I peed a little.

I don't think I can bring the scooter. They have special rules about anything over 50cc's. I'll bring the MS6 though.

now it's my mothers. She bought it for him but he refuses to learn stick so she gave him her Escape (the one I wanted) and she has the MS6 in storage. It only goes out when I drive it on weekends or trips. My mom is in her 60's and never drives the car. I don't know why she even still has it except for the fact my dad won't let her buy a new MX5 or Z4. I think she's hanging onto it because it's sporty and when she wants to put the hammer down she can do it safely.

It's an 06 model and it just turned over 10,500 miles. You figure the resale value will be high when she sells it?
