    I will be there. Not sure if I will drive the spider. It was a mud hole today for the bike race.
    May drive the Porsche.

    They usually have corrals by country. If so, I'll be in the Italian corral on Friday and/or Saturday, depending on the weather.

    Going to miss this year unfortunately, but plan on going to the Vintage Weekend at Barber in May. Hopefully that will be comparable to the Mitty.

    We are going to be up there this year vending from our race trailer. We will be up on the hill in the infield. We are also bringing a couple of Ferraris and a Maserati for display.

    Friday and Sunday both have good weather forecasted, but Saturday looks like a washout. I think I'll just go on Friday and save Sunday for the Taste of Marietta (!).

    I just checked the entry list. About 350 cars total, including 12 vintage F1 cars, but NO Ferraris of any kind and only two Alfa Romeos. The only other Italian cars listed were two late-model Dallara Indycars.

    It was so nice seeing many of you! Jim P, I missed seeing you but I got some really nice shots of your 328 by the skid pad. Had a blast and saw some Ferraris I've never seen before! Saw a really nice dark gray 348 Spider and a GORGEOUS 355 GTS in a color similar to Rosso Scuderia & Rosso Dino put together...anyone else see that 355?

    First, a shot of our humble Ferrari corral - all of 3 cars, at least it was on Friday. (I caught a glimpse of Tommy Cosgrove heading away from his 308; after that I saw neither of the drivers all day long.) And among the more exotic street machines in the paddock - the aforementioned 918 and an SLR McLaren. Somehow that second shot of the 918 reminds me of one of the "sandpeople" from Star Wars!

    Unlike their old setup under Historic Grand Prix, the F1 cars were not housed in the same tent but were in their own paddock areas just like all the other cars. Griot's Garage had the biggest spread, with the Parnelli and the Hill, among others. The Lotus 76, with its biplane rear wing (which only raced once in that configuration) was the most interesting of the lot to me.
