Race day is a beautiful thing at Road Atlanta. The sun rises and quickly warms the air from a cool night. All is quiet at this point, but the excitement builds for that amazing wake up call also known as the morning warm up.

The American Le Mans Series has always been "for the fans" and to this day it still holds true. Where else can you walk the front straight with the cars lined up minutes before an international motor race?

The new Viper is beautiful and proving to be competitive as well with an eighth in class finish. Not bad for a newcomer to the series.

The Nissan Delta Wing enters turn one. Although it's quite interesting to look at, the engineering effort behind the car is truly amazing. If you doubted its ability to turn, it does, quite well actually. They went on to finish fifth overall after an upside down weekend. See what I did there?

The Nissan Delta Wing enters turn one. Although it's quite interesting to look at, the engineering effort behind the car is truly amazing. If you doubted its ability to turn, it does, quite well actually. They went on to finish fifth overall after an upside down weekend. See what I did there?
