Direct flight with Delta is currently £282. I have an important mmeeting on the 28th September so couldn't fly out until the 29th. But sorely tempted!!
Zarse, shall we make it a trip to collect a motorhome??
The Petit is indeed well worth the trip. A somwhat different atmosphere than Sebring - or Le Mans - historically it was very much a 'wind-down' at the end of the ALMS season (that role has now moved to California) but it is an awesome event, nonetheless. The circuit is waaaaaay superior to Hendrick Field and you get even closer to the action. Climate is perfect also.
Mark/Andy - a suggestion. Knowing you both as I now do - and you being JLU's - please consider this invitation to my home in O'town prior to the event and then a shared drive up to Atlanta in Truckosaurus. If you haven't been, Atlanta is a FUN place. Overnight in Buckhead (northern 'burb, which is Partytown USA) meeting with Dave, Fax and a few others and hit the track on Saturday morning. Leisurely drive back down 75 on Sunday after the race. Last year my Road Atlanta trip was curtailed somewhat by Hurricane Jeanne - so I intend to beat the tar out of the event this year.
Consider this a formal invite - and I will be highly offended if you decline (no pressure or anything, you understand).
Seriously - I mean it, if you'd like to come over again.
Regards
Fatty
