Not from Central Florida, but I have my tickets... I will be in the coral on Saturday. It's always a good time. You will have fun.

I'm not from FL but will be going. Last time I went (2 yrs ago) I drove up the day of the race in the early AM, and had no problem getting tickets and Corral parking. However, they are less expensive if purchased in advance!

Few years ago it rained so hard that they cut the race by 5 hours. It usually rains atleast one day during the 4 day weekend. So if you are there all 4 days, better to prepare for rain. It may be sunshine all day saturday, it could be cold and windy, it could be rain all day. Just never know.
Regardless of it rains or shine, it WILL get chilly once the sun goes down. So make sure to have a jacket and possible even jeans to throw on. Trust me on this. lol

Its hit or miss really. Ive been 5 times. I wont be in the coral as I like to camp in the same spot every year in the middle of the valley going from turn 3 to turn 5(you'll see my blue c5z parked on the side of the hill).

will definitley look for your Z, thanks for the info !! for real can't wait !!! having gone to Sebring for the first time this year now going to the last race is going to rock !! And all because I have an AMAZING wife !! Sebring was my Valentine's present and Petit , was one of my B day presents !!
But don't be fooled, unlike Sebring being flat, road Atlanta is built in the country hills. So be prepared to get a workout walking around the track and going down the valley.

i live about 8 miles from the track. It's a great race and lots of hills to walk so be prepared. The weather can range from very hot to very cool that time of year. The last 2 years the weather has been absolutely great. This year we're having more than our fair share of rain so keep a watch on the weather for our area. It's a great time to be had and lots of vendor stuff to see as well. All in all you'll have a great time.

Oh yeah we know about the hills there, we have been at the track been there several times just never for a race. We went when Yearone used to have the show there. Can't wait !! and having done several parade laps, and hot laps on the track makes it even better !
