Petit Lemans 2009

The fam and I went there as well. The race sucked due to the monsoon, it would have been nice to see the Pugs and the Audis fighting it out in a little bit of rain, but this shit was a mess. It was a shame that McNish's hiccup led to Peugeot getting a 1-2 finish, but at the same time it was neat to see them get a win; I'm sure that will change Audi's mind about not going to the Sebring 12H race.

The BMW corral was pretty impressive though, two E34 M5's (including my father's), an E36 325is M-Technic (the first I have seen in person,) some heavily modified E90 M3 from UUC Motorwerks, and many others. It was awesome to see RLR get a class podium finish too.

Were you in the corral? I was there with my car on Friday, but saturday, you had to have the sticker to park there, and the sticker was part of the insanely expensive package. Like 80 bucks. Fuck that.

No, but we parked there anyways. PCA was asking $91/person for their corral (2-day ticket, parking, corral amentities) whereas BMWCCA was asking something like $150/person for their package and $180/person if you wanted to park within the corral. Way to turn away members right before the über-cliquish (IMO) Oktoberfest.

Finally got my shots up.

This one made me sad. It looked like someone located to the left of the Cayman was trying to exit the lot, but in doing so, sprayed mud all over the Cayman and the white 911 on its right.

Thats nothing, Along the fence furthest away from a tent, about an hour after the red flag was called, someone in a suburban slid through in the mud and took out the fence and if all the cars hadn't left by then, it would've nailed something pretty.
