    I'm going to try and make it. Every year I've gone I park at the Suzuki turn where they do all the drifting stuff. Assuming that I do go and get the Bug tuned up, I should be in a flat black '71 Super Beetle.

    I can't wait! I haven't been to the petit lemans for probably 5 years. Me and Yogi08 will be there in either a white 2.5RS, a blue 2.5RS, a white STi, or a black mazda minivan lol.

    Oh yeah inside for sure, but not as a "group" way too crowded to even attempt doing that lol.

    And for those interested, Peugeot was rebuilt and back on track Sunday.

    Just got home. The race was awesome! It was really exciting when the Audi and Peugeot were battling it out in the final few laps. What a race!

    As for IA people, I managed to meet up with GKtib® out there. Only other IA'er I saw there was Kevin (BandyDesign) but he had walked well on by when I realized it was him. Good times though, can't wait for next year.

    I'll get some pics up in the next day or so, took close to 400 of them and need to go through and see what turned out good.

    I was sad I didn't meet EJ25 lol, we had a big welcome race fans banner like Matt said.

    I have videos from this tent situation Yogi speaks of lol, nice to meet you.

    Good times though, sad Audi won, I saw the pass, GOOD STUFF for sure though. TDI Cup was the **** and I am upset I didn't take the time to really get into it when I could have

    that was a really good race, the most competitive that it has been in years, in my opinion. they were racing till the end.

    It was a great race up to the last turn, the Peugot had a bit of traffic to filter through. Only I.A person I saw was Alex and his bad as NSX.

    lol yeah, i think everyone could see that car lol. i showed my dad and he was like "DAMN" lol. personally even tho they always do, i wanted the audi to win...especially after mcnish had been through so much earlier in the day going up and down a lap constantly i think he deserved it. plus, im one to cheer for the under dog, and in my opinion that was the audi this race because everyone was banking on the peugot to win.

    I was cheering McNish on the whole day. He spun in the warmup and put the car in the wall, the team manages to fix the car in time to start the race only two laps behind, and then McNish apologizes to the whole team saying the spin was his fault and that he was going to do everything he could do bring home a win. And that he did. I'm sure it was one of the most emotional victories for him in all his racing career.

    The 908 certainly was an amazing car and I see Audi having their work cut out for them going forward.

    Ehh I dunno about that one, I didn't meet anyone wanting Peugeot Audi fans everywhere. Mcnish is a great driver though, and really funny guy, I talked to him some on Weds. I always have liked him. I will say Audi did a great job and didn't win easily

    That was a great race. But wasn't the last restart a bit too good for McNish? I had heard he hit the gas, er fuel in turn 10a/10b. I was halfway expecting a black flag from race control or at least another restart.
