Let us know if you plan on making the trip. We will be there. We can give you some "must haves" you will need to pack.
I don't mind driving, when we went to the Petit Lemans, we stayed in Helen Ga. about an hour away in a timeshare condo. My wife is getting cabin fever with the cold weather we have been having (unusual for Baton Rouge) so she is ready to go anywhere. which area would be best to look at for a hotel or even a time share. Also go ahead and send me the "must haves" just in case we find a place to stay. I will bring my Vette so the corral parking is a must. Thanks

We ordered the 4 day tickets, so you better order yours before they sell out. We can't wait to see everybody again and to get out of this cold weather we have been having. Does "no Rock" still have his Vette? Tell him to quit driving that truck and come to the race.

See you soon.

We'll be there, 4th year in the Corral, just wish I could bring my own Vette, but it will remain in hibernation for at least a couple more months yet, WAY too much snow up here!

Ordering tickets tomorrow.

I stayed at the La Quinta last year (about 15 minutes away) and it was a very nice, new hotel.

I think I read somewhere that the parade laps will happen on Friday after the track is finished all of the regular activities. Check their website.
