Going Saturday for the ALMS race mainly. I want to go to the SPEED World Challenge too but decided that Saturday would be good enough plus I'll get a chance to see the WC qualifying so that's good enough for me.

Have a great time. We went last year and had a blast.

A four hour ALMS racen at such an awesome circuit as Road America is just experience.

Should be a great race, so far the forecast is excellent. Four days of camping in the carousel, here we come! I am sad to not see CART on the ticket, but their absence sure brought the ticket price down!

I'm going early on friday to see the quals. You can't beat RA, wew're lucky that we live close enough to the greatest track on NA if not th enitre world! Audi's should run away with it, but ya never know, kinda like last year-THAT WAS GRIPPING! Staying for Sunday, since we're there and would stay over in Fond du Lac anyway. Coming from the Twin Cities-Can't wait!

I will be there for Sat. and part of Sun. It was an awesome ALMS race last year, even with some full course yellows for rain. As a photographer, I loved the fact the race ended at about dusk or a little later and the lights were on all the cars. I wish that the home town B-K Motorsports team could debut their new Lola this weekend( see Marshall Pruett's story if you haven't seen it) instead of at the other RA for Petit LeMans.

And yes it would be great to have the ICS series there, but I guess we need to wait till '10.

We are from the Twin Cities, too.

We will be there on Wednesday to setup our RS1000 Race Simulators in the Paddock. Stop by our RV/Trailer, you can race Road America on one of our race sims.

I'll be there thursday-sunday, camping in the alternative camping area. Should be a weekend long party like always. Yeah, I looked at the forecast, but as all of us who make an annual trip to the track know no matter what the weather says, there's always a monsoon during or right before the race! The race should be great.

Who is doing the Tour de Road America? I know I am. See you guys there.

Hope to leave home early enough Thursday morning to make it to the track in time for the ALMS test session. Seven to eight hour drive depending on traffic through Chicago. Then be there for the rest of the weekend!!!
