    Cool My Petit Le Mans thoughts and tons of pics I took

    This is one of the worlds great races and WE ARE IN ATLANTA, if you have never been and you an enthusiast, you OWE IT TO YOURSELF to go, even if its for one day. Walking around the paddocks, seeing the car corrals, and the scenery is fantastic.
















    For VWVortex fans


    Got a great space right next to the bridge and next to the Chalet..



    Taken on top the bridge Friday (look no rain)!!!



    The winner celebrating for the fans!


    Beautiful!






    Chevy was the only vendor giving out free Corvette T-shirts

    Sweet!



    Looks better in person though a lot of one color and nothing to break it up. I analyzed the damn thing for a long time, going between it and the X5 M. Acura ZDXhuh?? really makes me appreciate what BMW did here.


    Did NOT want....analyzed this for awhile either..bulky, odd angles, lines, the rear is way to bland...it really left me cold

    It's a shame the IS300 King Rat car was so damn slow. There is no touching the pro built cars though, they aren't even production based, I didn't know a production based car cost $3,000,000 to design and run in a touring car class lol.

    Nice pics, it's a great event as always, hopefully soon I can stop watching it and run it. I was mad about the rain ending it, but Peugeot on top is always fine in my book.

    Lol, I was the only dude with Lexus gear on and he was way behind..I think he got a flat the first lap though. I believe its the OLD Team Lexus car so its a very old chassis..

    The Mazdas were beind the 1, 2, 3 BMWs and I think an Acura....

    Nice to see some vipers out there. Wish I could have made it out, tickets were just too expensive for me.
