Very cool. Looks like some hardcore racers too! Is it wet or is that just dark asphalt? You might get more marshal work than you bargained for if it's wet! Good luck and keep them safe out there. :)

(p.s., by pure luck, the gas station closest to my house sells street-legal 100 octane unleaded for $9.99/gallon, which suddenly seems like a bargain. Although I guess no race track anywhere is known for its cheap racing fuel. :lol: )

Nice! Rd Atlanta is one of the best. It does look wet but no standing water that I see so should not be too bad. Great pics too! Have fun and enjoy being a Marshall - what are your duties today?

PS - Kevin, I'm moving this to the Racing sub-forum. Will leave a shadow copy.

Nice! The Boss!!

Isringhausen - big name always in the mix. I imagine Goldcrest is there too.

Nevermind - I just saw their tent and cars in your pics that I overlooked with the first view.

I love the track - it's been great to see the facility upgrades that the Michelin sponsorship (and others) have afforded. The track is wonderful but the facilities were (and some still are) in need of the refresh. All good!
