I know a LOT of people that will be coming as spectators, with that said I'm curious how is the lay out ? will the spectators be able to see the full run ?
Should be able to.

There's a pretty good distance between where the cars are parked and where the runway is itself.

It's close enough that you can still physically see and hear the cars running.

There's a fence that separates the runway from the rest of the parking area. It's just more of a safety precaution than anything but you shouldn't have any problems viewing the cars running!

lol, we've been going to races now for years, finally now are we doing it right. We're bringing one inclosed single car trailer with a small living space inside. The scaffolds, we started setting up for races like the 12 hours of sebring,.... as high as three stories. Really really cool looking at the cars heading coming off the last turn(17?) running down the straight, then into turn one. Sure Chris would love to snap pics like how we did in that event.

We're gonna bring the setup out there,....just don't know if we can get away with setting it up at the event. We'll see what happens.

And anyone is more then welcome to stop by and hang out.

FYI my pops has a 1994 RX7 R2 that I have been trying to get him to do work to for a while. He has a petitt built "street port" motor on stock turbos and pretty much everything else. Wish he'd go to a single but I don't think he has the cash to throw at the toy right now. Any spare parts laying around?

I was planning on being there, but I was just emailed, all spots are full and they will not accept any more registrations OR same day entries. No way I am making a 4 hour drive to spectate or just in case someone cancels. UGH!
