That sucks. Last time they let us do a parade lap was 2003 at Noon on Sunday. There were so many Corvettes that they had to park us on the front straight while the rest of the cars came out of the infield. That's over two miles of Corvettes.
Here we are waiting while the rest of the Corvettes came on to the track.
Front half
Back half
Then again Mid-Ohio may not be used to traffic jams on the track.....

Gary,
I wasn't sure if I could make it, but it is looking better every day. I may (emphasize "may") have tickets coming for free, but no infield parking. Is the Forum getting a spot or do "we" have a spot to park if I can get there this weekend?
Thanks,
Chris

We'll most likely meet at Bucks again on Sunday AM and drive in together. We can try the old 'sneak though in the middle of the pack' routine.

We'll be there on Sunday, probably arriving quite early to catch a breakfast over at the Maserati paddock. They were kind enough to give us free tickets!
See you there,
Brad
See you there,
