Just a heads up the 350Z's will qualify from 11:35 to 11:50 Sat. morning so many of us will probably not show to eat till 12:00 noon. Race is at 1:50 PM.

In that case, I'll push the food back to 12:00 or 12:30

OK... some more detail in where we'll be.

As it's being described to me, our tent is already set up towards the top of the North Course cut-through. If I remember correctly there are some bleachers in that spot. We'll get to hear everyone at full song certainly!

It's 'North' of the patriot paddock...

Towards the back straight, just before Roller Coaster.

That's a good spectator spot. Coming off the back straight, down the roller-coaster into hogpen. I figure I'll be all over the place, though. Bill & I are bringing bicycles.

Good idea, I think I'll throw mine into the back of the Armada..

Well... that kinda depends...

jmark is going to do a little recon for us on Friday to determine what the tent location looks like. If the tent is in a good spot, then yes. I've been told that basically we need to get there early enough Saturday morning to rope off our own parking.

Track is hot at 8:05. Bill & I are planning on showing up shortly after that, probably by 8:30. What should we do? How much space should/can we grab? Will there be ropes? etc. etc.

I really wanted to take the Z, but Bill talked me into his truck instead. Lots more cargo room for chairs, coolers, bikes, etc.

Brian... I'll have our plastic signs that we can stake in the ground... I don't think we'll need more than that, especially if many aren't bringing their Zs... If I can drag my Dad up there that early, we'll try to be there around 8:30 or so. The tent is already set up - so feel free to kick people out if they are already there!

Just keep in mind that we will be near the media paddock... so when they start doing pieces on the winning 350Zs they'll be looking for a good back drop!

Actually, I may not even have mine, it's still in the shop with more electrical problems. (Where's my 'fingers crossed' imoticon?)

I'll be in the Armada. It will be hard to get two kids and bring back a bunch of Z parts (Stacy) in the Z. Not to mention I drove the heck out of it at the track.. (lol, long story).

Keep an eye out on the left for Triangle Z Club signs.

The media poddock should be the 1st thing you see after you cross the bridge - so we'll be after that somewhere.
